We're still alive. Whew! It's been a busy, busy, blessed week.
Luke's healing nicely from his emergency appendectomy 3.5 weeks ago. On the heels of his surgery and all that was going on I packed us all up, loaded the u-haul and we got out of dodge.
We left late last Thursday night (the 28th) and drove through the night to Luke's Dad's house in Mississippi. Then we drove over to Arkansas to visit my family and see friends. Then we drove back to Mississippi again spent the night, then to Memphis to see more friends and Luke's Mom for a couple nights. Currently, I'm sitting in northern Tennessee. We've driven over 1,200 miles in the last 9 days.
Tomorrow is sure to hold some surprises as we look forward to a day jam packed with 13 children under the age of 8.
I'm not even kidding.
In this great big bloggy world Kate (and her Savvy little women & 1 little man) and I have forged a friendship that can only be bound through the common understanding of lots of kids and lots of chaos and lots of laughs. We met up with them this evening and immediately her 6 and our older 6 hit it off. Giggles and chatter and crumbs flowed freely from around the table.
Now, all 13 kids are snoozing away.
Tomorrow's going to be fun day. For sure.
We hit the road again Sunday and roll on home.
I'll have stories to tell, pictures to prove them and lots to share, I'm sure.
Hugs to you and Kate.
ReplyDeleteLove you both . . . and oh.so.wish I could meet up with you two (and all of your young ones) in.real.life.
May your day be BLESSED (and fun and crazy and maybe a bit out-of-control)
Remember . . . ladies . . . I have a DOZEN children all my myself; and one of my dear friends has 16. So, the two of us could get together with our 28 children. Think of that tomorrow, and your "little" group should seem small and manageable.
