    I so want to go, but not sure if I can this time around. Ferdy starts a new job in a couple of weeks and not sure he can take a week off in March….. Will there be another one in 2009?

Join the cause!

Facebook

Friday | August 22 | 2008

Evidently, there is this alternate universe I’ve been oblivious to until now. Over the last few weeks, I’ve received several requests from friends to join Facebook. I ignored the first couple, but then I got curious wondering what all the fuss was about. Do you know what I discovered? EVERYONE I KNOW IS ON FACEBOOK! Who knew? Why doesn’t anyone talk about this? Our pastor is even on there for crying out loud! Could it be that we’re all a little embarrassed to admit it?!? So here you go, I will admit it. I’m on Facebook, and it’s actually a really fun way to connect with people. I’ve added some of my photography and Global Orphan Team to the community to help spread the word.

I’m twittering, and I’m on Facebook now. I had no idea peer pressure was still so influential at this age.

My Facebook (She says under her breath trying to hide the shame ;)).

    Be careful, it is just as addictive as blogging! :)

    I’m glad you joined. Don’t be ashamed! ;)

Conversation with Cameron

Thursday | August 21 | 2008

Setting: getting him dressed for school and trying to get him fired up about it.

Mommy: Are you excited to go to school and play with your friends?

Cameron: No! JP’s house!

Mommy: We may go to JP’s house tomorrow, but you have to go to school today, won’t that be fun?!

Cameron: No, Mommy. Mommy home. Cameron home.

Mommy: Mommy will come pick you up after you play at school and we’ll come home together, okay?

Cameron: No, Mommy. Daddy?

Mommy: Daddy’s at work.

Cameron: Sissy?

Mommy: Sissy’s at school.

Cameron: (starts to cry) Mommmmmy…..Sissy hug?

Mommy: Yes, baby, you can hug Sissy when she gets home. Do you miss Sissy?

Cameron: Yeeeeeeeeessss! Mommmmmmy! Home! Snuggle Cameron.

Yes, this really happened. No exaggeration. The boy is trying to kill me. One heartbreak at a time. I’m sure of it.

Overworked and underpaid

Wednesday | August 20 | 2008

The story of my life! Somehow, I’ve found myself with three jobs: Mommy, director of Global Orphan Team, and photographer. All of which I love, but I need to find some sort of a system to balance it all, hence the lack of blogging.

The laundry did get done today though, a grocery store trip was made, and the GOT website is up…not perfect yet, but up. Progress!

Here’s an inside tip…Mission trip|Guatemala|March 28-April 4, 2009! Mark your calendar!

Dripping with sugar!

Sunday | August 17 | 2008

I know, I have had far too much sweetness on my blog the last few posts. Can you blame me? Seriously though, look at this. Have you ever seen anything sweeter?

    Kerry, so beautiful - both the faces & the pictures! :)

    Kerry, I just saw a post on the big list at a.com where some folks were not familiar with Gfest and were asking questions….

    I posted a brief reply and the link to the Gfest site you & Julia manage, but I just wanted to give you a head’s up, too! Since you guys are the organizers extraordinaire I know you’d be happy to chime in & spread the good word! :)

    Take care!

  1. Steph   -  

    Mimi is sitting on my lap - and she pointed at McKenzie and screamed “Baby Mimi!” She thinks that is her having all that fun with Cameron, JB & Abby. You girls have a great time (doesn’t that go without sayin’?)

  2. Jill   -  

    SOOOOO jealous! Have so much fun, and laugh until your sides hurt!!!!!!!! and hug each other extra for me! I wish we ALL could be together just hanging out… I wish I could go to Gfest… I am having a pity-party about that! ENJOY yourselves and don’t work too hard!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Kim   -  

    Yeah - rub it in!! Have fun you guys!!!

  4. Alleen   -  

    I know how to turn that neat little table with the kids and their meals all on their plates into a total mess…… Just add Miss G. Good golly, she’d have her hands into all of it quicker than you could turn around.

Countdown!

Sunday | August 10 | 2008

Two of my most favorite people in the world are coming tomorrow (babies in tow) and I can’t wait for them to get here. It is such a blessing to get to work with your best friends. That way, you get to see them more often ;).
