The Calm Before the Storm

In a few hours I will be a mother of FOUR BOYS! Our pastor and his wife are going to be 'suffering for Christ' at a conference in Orlando for the next week. They have 6 kids and are spreading them out while they are gone. We are going to be watching their two boys, Josiah (11) and Cameron (10). Samuel and Josiah are the absolute best of friends, which is shocking because of their age difference, but it's true. Samuel has no idea what is about to happen. The boys are homeschooled too, so they will always be here. He is going to be on cloud nine. Maybe they'll get to join in on Bushu :)

I'm updated the blog now for two reasons. I know there are some grandparents that are just dying to see more pictures. And if I don't update now, it will be (at least) a week when I'll be able to find the time to do this again.

So, here are some recent shots...









This past weekend, Joseph and I went to Camp Lejeune, NC (where Andy was stationed with the USMC) to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a friend's baby. We had a great time visiting with all of our old friends from the area. Most have moved on to other locations, but it was great to see the ones who were still around. Here's the quilt I made the baby.


And here are some of the girls back together again. I need shorter friends, huh?

If you think about it, please keep us in your prayers the next 6 days while our guests are here. Check back next week where you'll be sure to hear all about our adventurous week.
