So, as far as the Thanksgiving trip, the food was great, thanks to Terry's mom and the laughs and sheer digression of acting human went down the tubes once our bellys were full!!! You can not be around this group and be bored or sulky!! It would be too much to write about to tell all that happened, but just know it was pure crazy fun!!
The Lord granted safe travels and we are so grateful, for safety is of the Lord!! After arriving at home on Saturday and I got them to at least get het stuff out of the trailer, many of them headed over to the big game....OSU but all know now, we did not pull it off!! Oh well, they played well, just not well enough! :)
Now, it will make your heads spin if I tell you whats ahead the rest of the week. Today, I had to get a forgotten item out of the rent van causing me to drive all the way back to OKC. Then I had to make several stops to get things for candy making because my dad and his wife are coming on Wednesday to do Christmas with the children. I was not home long til Bethany had to leave to accompany with her violin a friend in a recital. Daniel and Elijah got in from work, changed and headed to a Thunder game with Lucas. I had to go pick Micah up from hunting and just a bit ago my friend Natalie and family came by and she helped me with a project! Its getting crazy isn't it???? So on Wed. the guys will all be here for dinner and gifts from their "paps." Thursday, the cabinet guy said he would be here. Friday, Caleb and Daniel are playing their instuments at a church members Christmas party and then Saturday at lunch we are having our Christmas dinner with my dad and that evening some of the children are participating in the "Journey to Bethlehem" here in our little town. From here on out, it , looks non-stop!!!
Oh, and Elijah's 20th bd is Sunday the 5th!!!!!
Our lives can get so busy, we can neglect important things if we are not careful and disciplined. How I need to be on guard to use my time and energy for Christ! I say that as a confession and prayer. May we all seek his kingdom first and He will add all we need to our lives!!
I know you don not know any of these people, but here's a bit of the trip........
