Busy Hands

Dimpled hands...
Reaching hands...

Clutching hands...
Chugging hands...
Determined hands...(that's corrugated cardboard he's cutting :)
Musical hands...
Praying hands...

**************

We often get comments about the amount of groceries we buy - usually with regards to the mountain of bananas piled in the cart.  I just tell them that I have a lot of monkeys to feed. :)

Most comments we get are positive and encouraging.  Once in a while we get one of a different tone.

The other day, when I had only been through the produce department, a lady looked at my cart and gasped, "Tell me you're not shopping for one family."  I said that yes, I was.  Her jaw dropped.  "I don't want to know," she said, and started to turn away.  I replied, "You don't need to know.  But what you should know is that I'm smiling."   She looked back, thought about that, and said, "Good point."

Carmen, That's the best response I've heard in a long time! :)

It's been such a treat scrolling through all your lovely photos! You're doing great with your photography.

Our girls were so excited to get letters from yours. Thank you.

Blessings,
