While visiting family is wonderful and I LOVED seeing everyone - there really is no place like home. I am so glad to be back in my own house with my own things and our own bed... although right now I am smelling a very foul thing that I can not find, so that's yucky! : ( We got home late on Friday nite, and Saturday I took Eli up to Cayucos to spend time with all the females on my dad's side of the family.
Every year in the spring we have a girls weekend called Sisters at Heart. My aunts have a sisters trip every year they go on, but they also wanted to have a time where they could gather with sister in laws, cousins, nieces, and friends and spend the weekend - thus Sisters at Heart was created. It's always in Cayucos, there's lots of ladies, lots of food, lots of wine, and lots of crafts. It's perfect;)
This year we made sun catchers out of mirrors and beads, mosaic flower pots, etched our own wine glasses, and made slipper shoes (I didn't do this one.) I really enjoyed my day. By the end of the day Eli was so tired though that he started screaming at everyone who tried to talk to him, so I didn't get to enjoy dinner with the family and made a quick getaway. Poor little guy. Musta been overwhelming to have 40 ladies all in his face saying how cute he was - I think it's overwhelming to be around everyone at times too!!!
Today we started back with YWAM again. Will has two days to get everything together before he's off to Africa. Well, he has one day left now. We have all the finances to get ready, I want to make the team homemade cookies (nothing like cookies after a month away!), and we have loads of laundry to do! (get the play on words? ha ha ha) It's going to be a busy day.I'm not really looking forward to single momness for 2 weeks though. I can't imagine what these women do when they have more than one kid, or even just one, and have no support around. I at least have all my co-workers, and if things get really tough, I can take off and go to grandmas! I have a feeling that these two weeks will go a bit quicker with Eli around than they did when Will went to Nicaragua, but it's still 2 weeks, and being at the start of it - 2 weeks seems like forever!
So - drop me a line - I'll have some time (maybe not, with Eli all to myself!) - but I'd love to at least hear from everyone!
Be praying for my sanity! Eli is quite a handful now and I get exhausted sometimes from just one busy hour!

I was thinking about you this past weekend...Ryan was away in Florida for 4 nights. That felt long and then it reminded me that you had a whole two weeks without Will. Wish you were a little closer and we could have a play day (as long as Peyton doesn't push any babies over)lol. Hope it goes by fast.
Hope you're doing ok. Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye before you left.
2 weeks would feel like a long time...and especially with a baby. I don't know if Gil could handle being away from our kids that long.
Just wait til he gets crawling. Then things will be even busier!!
