R&R Sunday Feb. 1 Matt fixed pancakes. Missy called to say Anabel was going to the ER.

Phillip had left to preach at Webster City. Evan was going to Stephanie Porters for SS. After church Becky and I went shopping. D&M went to Starbucks, Then we all ate at Olive Garden YUM! Grandma Jenny is coming to St Joe on Thurs. so we asked if Torren could join us until then. It was all okayed except by Haley who has preschool and couldn't join her brother. She was assured one day this week she could go to work with her mom and wouldn't have to go to the babysitter without Torren. We left about 1. Torren slept about an hour...Denny slept about 2.5 hours. I could see Torren in the back seat, just a happy little boy. He could pull things out of the 3 bags his mom sent along. The toy bag was emptied. It took about a hour until he found the bag of marshmallows. and another 10 minutes to get them open. Then he would take them between his 2 fingers and put 1 in his mouth at a time. So cute!! Another 20 minutes and he was stuffing them in his mouth...but he was being quiet...and Grandpa was asleep. He quietly got out a cell phone (which made me wonder whose it was until I remembered he had one to play with). He spent about 30 minutes working on getting the wrapper off a sucker and when it was off he didn't even eat it. Some where he found a pacifier and stuck it in his mouth pulling it out only to put in 1 marshmallow at a time. He just kept rotating toys and I kept watching him. SO CUTE!! About 3 hours down the road and he was going to lick on the hand cleaners bottle...I said my first word, "No." He looked at me with those big puddling up eyes...and at the sound of my voice, Denny woke up and said, "I must really have been sick to let you drive this far." We got home and made a quick snack to take to Goodenow's Super Bowl party. And to check on Anabel. She looked kind of punk with her head on her mom's shoulder. They did blood work at ER and sent her home. Nice time at Goodenows. Paulsruds and Bergmans were there. Torren was just a sweetheart to take along. The picture is from Sat. fun in the sand box.
