Cake.....

We have a comedian in our family. A friend gave us a CD of 'Jim Gaffigan' and Lucas just really ate it up. So much so, that back in January he decided that he was going to do a comedy for the school talent show. Here is the video. Let me introduce.....'Cake'. Please forgive the cinematics.....I am a lousy videographer

Playing Around

I found a software program that allows
you to make collages from your photo
files. I want to try it out before I forked
the dough for it. These are just a snippet
of the pictures we took while at WDW.
I am running the trial version of LumaPix
therefore the collage has a watermark
across the pictures. I'll let you know if
I decide to purchase the full version.

Visiting Orphans

China

In February, my sister-in-law Toni asked me if I would be interested in traveling to China with her to do short-term missions work. It took me a good couple of weeks to finally make my decision. I think the reason it took so long for me to decide was that I REALLY didn't want to say no, but was afraid to say yes. You see, I am very much a homebody and love staying home taking care of my boys. We had just returned from our vacation in Florida and the traveling was frustrating as usual.

But after I agreed to go, I felt really good, at peace, it just seemed like what I was supposed to do. However, I do worry about how my boys are going to handle 10 days without me, but I suppose I will be just fine and deal with the chaos when I return. Mike (Toni's husband) and their kids will hook up with Pat and the boys and they can commiserate together.

The agency that we will be traveling with is called Visiting Orphans. The area we will be working is the Liaoning Province in Northeast China in a city called Chaoyang. It is amazing how in a country as big as China, it is difficult to find much information on this area.
