Well, that's a good question as I'm not sure that even I can answer it!!!
I'm sure that my family (who lives 3 hours away) are wondering why they haven't heard from me. Well, I've been in Charlotte with the kids handbell choir (which was quite an adventure with my older girls and their baby brother---Joe got the privilege of staying with his daddy!!!). We went to Discovery Place on Friday, where we found the greatest surprise ever: The Moore Family!!! Benjamin had never been able to meet Mariah, a little girl who stayed with "Mama Rosa" in Guatemala right after he left. She was adopted by some friends of ours, Mark and Amy Moore. After they came home, they discovered that Mariah was deaf. Anyway, long story short: we saw them on Friday completely by accident!!! Mariah is beautiful (as are her two sisters and her two brothers!!) and Benjamin was completely "taken" with her by the time we left. He kept wanting to give her kisses and she kept pushing him away (the cantaloupe her mama had was more enticing than a little smoochy, I guess). They look so much alike. They both have the porcelain skin characteristic of the Spanish that now live in Guatemala. I'll post a photo of them later.
Then after a hair-brained trip to the hotel, we ate at an Italian restaurant and the kids headed back to the church for more bell-ringing. We spent the night sharing a hotel room with some good friends, The Marshall Family. Let's see.... that would have been me with my three, Kim (who is about to bust with Adeline), and then her other four..... WHEW! We were quite the sight, I'm sure.
On Saturday, after ringing all day and a concert, we headed home. BOY! Was I ever glad to get back to the mountains. I guess that I'm just not cut out to go-go-go. I really do like it at home, doing things with my kids, in a quiet atmosphere, knowing that Daddy will be home soon.
Yesterday was our usual Sunday regime. Church until about 7 p.m. (well, at least church activities). Then, I just crashed.
We got our website up and running yesterday. Visit http://www.galyeansgallery.com/ to see it. I'm still working on it as I've got lots of pics to upload for viewing, music to add, contact page to add, etc.... Anyway, check it out when you get a chance.
More pics to come soon.
