Today I spent with my sister, Donna, going to Lowe's and picking out some tomato plants and getting some seeds to start  vegetable garden.  Jim loves watermelon, and it is something he can have on his diet, so I bought some watermelon seeds, too.  We bought landscape timbers and some mulch, well quite a bit of mulch.  We have to take the mulch back tomorrow, because we bought the wrong kind.  There was a special kind Donna had bought yesterday, and she wanted the same kind.  I think, while I'm there, I'll pick up some more potting soil.

I got an email from Operation Mobilization (OM) today.  They had some extra questions for me.  So I answered those and sent it to them.  They also were waiting on Jim's application, so we took the night off from church and finished his application and sent it.  Hopefully, we'll hear something from them soon.  They said that working on the boat was out, but that it looked good for going to Ecuador.  That is the specific place Jim and I feel called to anyway.  

It has been a while since I have written anything.  A lot has been going on.  Colin Parker Hagen was born April 12th weighing 8 lbs. 10 ozs.  We spent about a week and a half with Dan, Kathy and Colin.  

One of the first things we did when we returned home was to trade in the truck for a more economical car.  We bought a Fusion.  It's a lot smaller than we are use to, but we love the gas milage.  Anytime we need a truck our brother-in-law has one we can use.

Since our return, we have been busy around the house.  The past two days we spent cleaning out the garage that had accumulated stuff for about 50 years.  We are actually able to get the car into the garage.

Sunday I completed the application for us for South America Mission. It was mailed yesterday.  Now we just wait and see what the Lord has in store for us.
