What has been happening in the Neely house?

We still have yet to get any more pictures. SORRY! Elizabeth isn't much for pictures and when she thinks about taking them of course she doesn't have the camera.
So instead of waiting we decided that it would be best to write and catch everyone up on what's been happening in the Neely household.
John has been getting a lot of reading done on his way too and from work and usually has a new magic trick to show or practice when he gets home. Elizabeth has started attending a women's Bible study at a local church to study Jesus' parables as well as picked up a few hours babysitting in the infant room for the same church's MOPs group Thursday mornings on top of filing and is absolutely loving it. John's classes are in full swing and at least every other week he has what seems like a mountain of tests and homework that need grading over the weekend, but this last weekend he had a chance to record some of his magic tricks while Elizabeth and Mom Neely went out to lunch and quilt show. This coming weekend John will be attending a lecture in the area with a coworker and Elizabeth is thinking about doing a quilt shop hop in Northwest Iowa in hopes to inspire the desire to pick up one of the many quilts she has started and get it finished.

John Started Taking the Bus

This week John started taking the bus to and from Hawkeye other than the early mornings it has gone very well. We make sure clothes are laid out the night before and a lunch is packed along with a full water bottle. He gets home and supper is ready! :)
Next week Elizabeth starts her women's Bible study at Prairie Lakes Church on Tuesday mornings and does childcare for their MOPs group on Thursday morning for the next year.
Today we went to the library book sale and found lots of treasures to buy and Elizabeth even found several books to check out. :)
