Sunday morning Karen woke me up 30 minutes before church. I immediately felt bad because she and Dorian had got all 15 up dressed and fed breakfast and now they were trying to get ready one at a time while the other watched the kids. And Dorian was preaching this morning! He got to church about five minutes before it began. Well I had the fabulous idea of getting a picture of all the kids while they were so well dressed and cute. Well the cute did not last long......trying to get 15 kids on one couch at one time was near to impossible....I will post a pic and me and Joyce with them,, but you have no idea what went into getting that pic. We went to church and took three rows....It was an endless parade of kids wanting to sit on your lap. Services were good and I will post a pic of the church "pews" and also one of Dorian preaching. He did an excellent job and spoke about the spirit and how we often sing of love and happiness while looking sour and angry. He is good and uses a lot of humor in in sermons but most go right over my head with my limited spanish. After church, it started raining and was cold. very cold. At meals times the children are all seated and place their heads on their table and then when all is quiet, one is chosen to lead the others. This child will ask them to place their hands on head, shoulders, etc and then pray. Well Antonio led this prayer after church and tear came to my eyes....He thanked God for Mommy and Poppy (Karen and Dorian) and also name every child and every person present. Antonio is 2 I believe or maybe close to three? Bear with me with this blog as it is still new to me....I got my Saturday night pic at beginning of Sunday, but hey, that is kind how life is here.........We end every day with children getting showers, eating,playing and then quiet time with a movie and bed time! Even brushing teeth is quite an undertaking with all 15. I have learned to smell their breath to tell if they did indeed brush "dente". This was the last day that I slept in and now my days begin at 6:30 same as Karen.......what did I get myself into?
