Life in Honduras for this mother of 10 (8 of my own plus 2 step children) isn't always easy, but I try to look at it in the best possible way. With a smile. Stop by and visit often and read up on how I am dealing with living in a 3rd world country keeping a smile on my face and humor in my heart.

Finally my arms get a rest. Levi is finally walking. At 14 months, he is the laziest of all of the kids. Andre and Lana walked at 9 months (Lana closer to 10 months if I remember correctly), the rest of the kids walked at 12 months give or take 2 weeks. And to be honest, Levi isn't lazy. He is just cautious. He has fallen so many times in Honduras (off the bed, off the couch etc. etc.) and since we have a concrete floor, he knows that the floor hurts. So he has been walking on the bed for a while now, but when it comes to walking on the floor without holding onto something or someone- wasn't happening. Until today. I love his smile.
I am still working on editing my pictures. It is taking longer than I thought - but then again I have well over 500 pictures that I am editing, so that takes a while. I did get all the videos for upcoming blog posts uploaded, so I did make progress.
Now for my promise. I have 8 months worth of stories and pictures and videos to post, and while I will try to do it in chronological order, I can't promise it. I can promise that by Saturday evening, I will have my first post up about my trip to and first day in Honduras.
Hello all!!! I am back in the US for a couple of months.
Oh how I have missed my online family :) Thank you all so much for being worried about my lack of updates. Alot of it came from me breaking my ankle (having surgery) and then later finding that I had also broken my leg - which gave me 16 weeks of what is basically bedrest.
I have so many stories (I wrote blogs while at home to post either when I came here to the US or whenever I got a chance to get online) and I have tons of pictures to show as well. I will be doing a better update complete with pictures and videos later this week. I am going to spend the next day or two editing my pictures - resizing and what not, so that I can post them with updates. So be sure to check back on Friday for updates.
Here is my list of blogs that I read. There are some that I am missing, but I cant get into my google reader right now to pull them up. If you want to leave a comment with a link to your blog, and a sentence or two on what your blog is about, you are welcome to it ;)
In order to free up my sidebars on my blog, I decided to pull off the majority of links and put them each in there own post - with the link to the post on my sidebar instead.
If you have a blog, and I haven't listed you on here feel free to leave a comment with a link to your blog and a bit to what it is about.
