Evenings

Kate loves playing with the little cars…finally, toys that she will actually use!

Privacy? What’s that?

My two blondies.

Last night, being a Wednesday, was youth Bible study night. I fed people, an extra teenager who had been hanging out doing homework as well, and then everyone headed out to the Bible study. Afterwards we gathered in the living room and read a loud from Winnie the Pooh while baby Kate played with her cars and Carlos was “facebook-ing” as they say. Then someone decided they wanted ice cream and OH NO, the ice cream store closes in thirty minutes, but the girls were able to beg Carlos to run out and buy some. He made it in the nick of time. Ice cream for a night time snack and then bed time for everyone.

I was in bed by 9:30 and asleep by 10:00. Eight of hours of rest never felt so good.

Today’s agenda includes an all day government meeting for Brian, while I will be homeschooling kiddos and trying to get the last minute touches on uniforms (socks. so many socks) for the kids of Hogar El Camino. Also, must make snack for Carlo’s study group this afternoon. Cinnamon Roll Pound Cake? Yes, I think so.

Please pray for two of our house dad’s. One recently had his mother under-go major surgery and the other recently lost a dear family member.

Overall, yesterday was really nice, especially when I received a piece of paper from a judge’s office which, had I received it last year, would have sent me over the edge with fear and anxiety. This time though, I was able to keep my wits about me and pray and watch God work the situation out. He is healing me and the wounds that an abundance of stress left. I am praising Him for that!

Have a nice Thursday, everyone. (My favorite day of the week.! Random, but true.)
