Well, I'm not sure where to begin in the explanation of how 10 days have elapsed without me having a single spare moment in which to sit and collect my thoughts. It has been, perhaps, the most stressful week of my life. Or maybe that was Olivia's first week... I haven't had enough perspective yet to decide.
We have managed to have some great times in spite of the chaos that has been going on in life of the Lewis family, who since December have been involved with our bible study and basically become great friends. They have a baby that could arrive at any minute (she is scheduled for her c-section one week from Tuesday), 5 kids on top of that including a little boy who has become very much the terrible two that his age creates, and 3 kids who have medical issues - one diabetic, one who has had seizures since age 6, and another who's seizures that started last weekend and created all the chaos we have been living through). Pitching in to help their family out during some scary medical emergencies made Steve and I so grateful for happy, healthy children.
We tried to get pictures of the girls in the leaves, but by the time Abby decided to join us, Olivia had decided she was over it. Oh well... we can try again later. And we bought clearance Halloween costumes, which have been a source of much entertainment for Abby the Pirate and Abby the Red Queen. So... I am still working on processing my life for the last 10 days. It has involved lots of extra kids, lots of prayer, and lots of hugging my own babies. One of these days I will catch up and be able to comprehend reality again... until then, sorry for my ramblings.
