We're back

London was great. Michael and I had fun spending time, just the two of us.

I tore a ligament in my ankle two days before we left. After we packed, Michael had placed the suitcase in the living room.  Being the klutz that I am, I fell over it on my way to bed.   Fortunately, I healed quickly.

We visited many wonderful places

Monday:
*flight got in
*Westminster Abby
*nap
*movie premiere, saw Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in real life
*theater "Blood Brothers"

Tuesday:
*London Eye
*British Museum
*pub for World cup

Wednesday:
*Tower of London
*National Gallery
*Theater "The Producers"

Thursday:
*world cup pub
*Movie premiere-saw Bruce Willis-shook hands and said "hi"
*Theater "Stomp"

Friday:
*Hampton Court
(all day lots of rooms)

Saturday:
*Wander the City
*James Blunt (and other musicians we don't know)
*got to meet some boardie friends that came to the concert
(all day concert)

Sunday:
*barely roll out of bed to get on plane. I was really dragging, and slept 6 hours on the plane until Michael woke me up.
*Hugs and kisses to the kids. LOVE LOVE LOVE
*sleep

That is all I can think about from the trip. We ate a lot and walked a lot. Michael said that it was nice to be married to a "stubborn" wife who does not let crutches stop her ;)

I want to give a special thanks to Michael's mom and dad whom showed the kids unstoppable love all week. Thank you both for all your hard work.

Hallmark Time

Today I was going through some old pics of the kids, and began to feel nostalgic. I understand that they are very much a part of me, yet more separate than anyone from me. Sometimes I think I love them so much my heart will explode. My family is incredible, and I pray that I still see that thought out my life.

Jump in!

Our Family is complete

I look at the kids and see innocents. Every day they change.  There is a pure love in there eyes, when they look at me. I understand the scripture that says:

14 When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child 2 will not enter it." 16. Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.

Bible School

Bible school has been going on all this week. I was originally supposed to be a floater, but I ended up in the craft room. Have I ever mentioned how much I abhor any type of crafting?  Not only that, but somehow the crafts were too hard for the children to do.  Therefore, the adults ended up doing 90% of the work.


I pray that the children really get a lot out of bible school this week. They seem to be having a wonderful time.

Cute Expressions

My friend Janie had taken these photos of the kids.  She and Hunter are best friends.  They are both so cute, even if I do say so myself. 

Look into my eyes!

"You talkin' to me?"

I know you want to kiss me... but will I let you?
