Our retreat center-Mapleview Inn Parking Lot
Daddy and the girls after an early morning cereal bar feeding.
Mommy and the boys.
That bed slept four boys ages 6 1/2-12. The girls slept underneath it in their playpens.
Pray for Jared if you think of him. He's been working between twelve and fifteen hours a day since Sunday night. It's twelve hours on and twelve off, but he's putting in overtime and still has to report to work at the same time. Frustrations are mounting as people want to get back home and can't. He fortunately isn't making the decisions, he just has to make sure they're followed. Misinformation is abounding on the television too. We've had several calls today wondering if we evacuated again as the tv posted that we were supposed to. We didn't and all looks good on the western front. Everything is put away and the kids are at church painting "sifters" to help fire victims sift through their ashes to find any valuables they might be able to retrieve. Our youth pastor took screen to make screen doors and 2x4's for the frames and made sifters. The kids are painting the wood of the frame to include them and make them feel productive.
Dear Vikki,
ReplyDeleteI found your Homeschool Blogger site when I googled The Mother's Companion. I remember reading about your family when she wrote about The Young Mother's Class and later on, about mentoring. I was so excited to see all the good things God is doing in your life and your family! Your new daughters are adorable, and I'm sure they are bringing great joy to all of you. We will be praying you can settle back home before too long. God bless you.
Praying for Jared. That would be a difficult position as a lot of people don't tend to care whether or not the person they are talking to actually makes any decisions or not. I'm glad you are home safe and sound. (((hugs)))
