I have no idea where they e-mailed this from. I didn't know if I could e-mail back - so I didn't. I hope things get better for them. I know how tired mom must be. I'm thankful they've arrived ok. Sure hope the lesson I gave them on how to use my camera has stuck with them. They'll be back on the 20th - I can't wait!!!!

Anxiety Rises to New Heights!!

Time to break out the pie tins and the mixing bowls - Let the baking begin!
Why? because that's what I do when I'm nervous and anxiety filled!
I bake my fears away...

Today while playing hide and seek Morgan was hiding under the basement stairs. Mary Grace thought it'd be cute to pinch her big sis's butt at that moment...Morgan flew up and forward at lightening speed and nailed herself right between the eyes with the bottom of the wooden stairs. It was literally a 2x4 between the eyes!!!

So, she's off to Rome with the bridge of her nose swelled to 3x its normal size and soon to come 2 black eyes...these pics I took were today. But things like this always "peak" on day 2 or 3!! As if I wasn't nervous enough already I had to be reminded of how clumsy and at times flaky Morgan can be...so I bake...I've already made a super sized tray of apple slices tonight and I'm sure there'll be more to come. God help me!
