Oh, my! Nothing like a little touch of salmonella or stomach bug or whatever-it-was to slow things down to a grinding halt! I woke up Friday morning with the definite understanding that something was not right. I spent the rest of the day in bed and am only now resurfacing and plugging in. E-mail piles up fast!
Since last report, we've had the equivalent of five people join our 4,000 which is very exciting.
One of our newest additions is a mom of one of M2's classmates. Another is an adoptive mom whose adoption journey has touched us deeply. The adoption of her son coincided with our serious talks of adoption from Ethiopia and I have very much enjoyed reading about their joys and struggles on her adoption blog. I sent her an e-mail to that effect and I cannot properly put into words the impact her story has had on ours.
Our package to M3 is on its way to Washington State to be packed for the journey overseas. I had to laugh when I saw that Ziploc stuffed to the gills because but for military care packages, I might not have thought it possible to put all those things in one bag! We hope she will be surprised!
The home study preparation has hit a little glitch given my inability to remain upright over the past couple days, but we'll manage. My mom has offered to pitch in this coming week and she's tireless when it comes to righting the wrongs of clutter and disorganization. Thank goodness for Mamaw!
More updates for the week ahead, I'm sure! Stay tuned!
