Our orphansnomore are off until January. They are all visiting friends and families (if they have them). In the mean time I'm trying to get in some bonding time with my bio-kids and continue to do our normal stuff that involves bringing a future and a hope to people beyond the orphanednomore boys and girls in our two homes.
Here's my 'schedule' incase you are interested and keep in mind that not mentioned is all the regular meal prep, laundry, hanging of clothes on the line, cleaning house, etc... that we must do! We don't have help right now in the house since we've sent everyone away.
