My voice is super tired. My body aches. I take it to the max every day. It takes it toll. I had to rest today.

I have a few days to work on other projects. Teams are back in about five days.

Worked on our SmugMug website. Figuring out how to feature and unfeature galleries on our home page. Just takes time to get it squared away.

Looking forward to lunch with Jesse and Kathy in a moment. K has been riding her bike around the mountain. Proud of her for doing that.

Ashley, Penelope and I had a meaningful Dedication Day with our team from Tennessee.

The Golden Egg of Eggcellence.

Presentation of Power Prayer.

Briefing on interacting with people in the market.

Dedication time.

Passing the baton, “It’s up to ME!”

Priestly Blessing and anointing the heads with oil from the Holy Land.

Signing the Landing Pad.

Took them on Safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.



P kisses the Frozen Sheep Head.

This is P’s life.

Also looked at the Enigmas store. Always something weird to see.

They helped us strike the set for The Show. Sadly, there’s a funeral and memorial service for one of the ladies of the church.

And helped fold/label the newsletters.

To the missions! We had a church partner come to Azalea to do a party and give out back packs. I had no idea they were coming. No problem for us. We just shifted gears and went to the other mission.

GREAT to watch Penelope Saturday night. She’s such a wonderful human being. She’s pretty much my favorite human being on the planet. Last night as I was carrying her up the stairs to take her home, she was asleep in my arms and suddenly I was struck by how much she looked like Ashley. It was a very special moment.

I offered to keep the baby over night. I knew I could rest on Sunday. The parents weren’t quite ready for that. Mama and Dada need their baby love!

We told Miles and Ashley last night that we didn’t have a baby sitter for Ashley at all until she was nearly two. Not even for three hours. A lot of that was because A was completely breast fed. She never had a bottle! I guess that’s why P is fun for me too, because I never got to feed a baby when I was in my 20s.

Sure do love MY baby!

She’s really turned out to be a dedicated, loving, creative Mom!

I went to sleep early. Tired. Especially my voice. Looking forward to a few days of rest. Admin duties now.
