Back Home

I know, I know, it's been forever, but I've been out of town for two weeks and am still trying to catch my breath. To recap the two weeks, we went to Mexico with the Joshua students, which went mostly good, except for, uh, Jaron not sleeping, Jaron getting a rash, Two students getting injured and being rushed to San Diego's emergecy rooms, where one of them had to have surgery on his head!, and the Baja 1000 taking out one of the jumps at the beginning of the race. But, we did eat some amazing carne asada tacos daily, got a ton of work done at the Ranch and were not attacked by the drug cartel! Then we sent off the students with the other staff and our family stayed in San Diego for the next week. We stayed with Rich's parents, but did get to have a hang-out/birthday party at my mom's which was nice to see everyone. Thanksgiving was nice and fairly low key with the Ferreira side, then Friday we got to go shopping with no kids and go on a date to dinner and a movie with no kids all in the same day! Thank You Grammy Moo! Saturday, we headed home, picking up a truck for Hume in Temecula and picking up Rich's Grandma in Santa Clarita to bring her to be the Catalyst at Joshua for the next two weeks. Jaron only cried for like half the trip up, so that was fun. So, we got back Saturday night, Sunday tried to unpack as well as put up Christmas decorations, then did the nursery at church. Monday I took Jaron to the Doctor to see if he had an ear infection or something, but he checked out fine. (which is good of course, but it would kind of be nice to have an explanation for the screaming and pulling at his ear and what not, but, it's really better that he is fine) Tuesday I got back to walking with the mom's, then cleaned and baked for Bible study Tueday night. This morning we had our WON Wednesday, which is a monthly get together with mom's of young kids with coffee, a speaker, and small group discussion. Tonight is the Hume Family Christmas party. I am a judge for the bake off and other food entry competition. Tomorrow, we go down the hill again to get a Christmas tree and to go to a tractor show with the Joshua staff. Then I think Friday my friends might have a birthday party for me. Whew! So you can see why I haven't had too much time to blog. Oh, did I mention that Hume got an all new phone system so we haven't had phones or consistant internet. If you need our new number, please e-mail my gmail account, which is ferreirafour@gmail.com and I will reply from that, because my regular hume account is not working at the moment. Love You All- Thank you to the faithful readers of this! Oh, so the pictures are of bath time at Grammy's and Thanksgiving at the Ferreira's (Rich's aunt and uncle) both Jaron and Ellie loved the dog, she was so good with them.
