trouble

This month is a bit of a tough one. Our big fall Furniture Market in High Point, North Carolina is fast approaching which means a few things:

1. Very little sleep.

2. Lots of travel - I'll be gone for 15 days in October. yuck.

3. Some amazing new products for both of my companies...I'll post some pictures later.

4. I'll miss my little guy....so much it hurts to think about it.

5. I probably won't be blogging too much.

What do these pictures have to do with this posting? Nothing really except to remind you of that cute Smart baby. He's pretty much walking everywhere these days. And he's into just about everything.

I pulled out his old carseat to give to my cousin Valynne and he had to climb in to have a "moment" before his parting farewell.

So, I'll try to keep you posted, but as my blog suggests, I wouldn't expect too much.

Flashback Friday

This post was supposed to be for last Friday, but obviously time got away from me...

A couple of weeks ago we were able to attend Southern Cross Humanitarian/Eagle Condor Humanitarian's annual fundraising banquet. Southern Cross is the organization I've been involved with for the past several years - although I've taken a sabbatical this past year.

Because I haven't been involved and frankly, because it's been so long since I've been to Peru (three years!), it's been out of mind.

But the Banquet, brought it all back. And it felt good. Plus, last night I had a dream about the kids.

It's all been a good reminder to me to keep my priorities straight and mostly to be grateful for what I have been blessed with and to use what I have to bless others. It also reminded me of how these precious little Peruvian children have blessed my life. And that is what I miss most of all.
