Today, I had an exciting day at work. I was able to help out on the psych unit and when I left, I encountered a family that apparently were waiting or had just received news about a loved one who had had surgery...I tried to walk by being respectful to them and tried to go unnoticed...
...well, I walked maybe 4-5 yards away when I went KER-PLUNK!!! I went spread-eagle in the middle of the hospital hallway...so much for going unnoticed! (I don't even want to imagine what I looked like! I calmly got up and used self talk to try to convince myself of no pain as I limped to the nearest double doors!!) Saying all that to say, I had planned to try to get mucho bike miles in this weekend to get a jumpstart on my 60-Mile Challenge, but doesn't look like that will happen as rain approaches and my ankle throbs! Ben laughed at me, as he is all too familiar with ankle injuries! Today, he went fishing with Dennis and he is like a lobster! In 1-2 days, though, he will be dark-skinned just like the kids...that is, until you lift up his shirt!!! Ha!ha!
The kids had a great day with Beamie today...and we hopefully will have a quiet weekend. We are having the Pastor from Colombia come and speak on Sunday and plan to meet with him to discuss teaming up with his ministries and setting some tentative dates for this fall or winter for a trip back to Cali! I have some names of a couple different orphanages in Cali that I would like to ask him about and then follow-up with Julie from CHI.
Well, that's all for Friday nite, 2 bathed, 1 to go and lots of house cleaning to get done before bedtime! Thanks again for following along and journeying with us on this adventure!

Oh, Wendi, I feel for you, but this story really did make me laugh! You poor thing. Hopefully your ankle feels better soon!
You're too cute!
Oh gosh Wendi, I could so relate to your story! I'm especially accident-prone..and both of my ankles have been sprained plenty of times!
Tonight was the round of baths here too...and then when I went to kiss my little sweetheart before I went to bed I got a big whiff of...pee! She had some cough syrup before bed and I think it knocked her out enough that she didn't even realize. So she got cleaned up and her bed got changed and now Mami is wide awake!
have a great weekend!

Wendi~ I absolutely love reading your blogs. You always make me smile. I'm sure that family needed a good laugh and God used you as His instrument to deliver. ; ) Too funny--just glad you weren't hurt. Your children are so lucky to have a mom with a great sense of humor and who can make fun of herself!

Hola Wendy,
I am also blessed to be mum to a 6 year old from Cali. Hopefully we will be returning for our next blessing very soon. Your post has caught my eye as I have also been looking for organisations within Cali & Medellin very recently. I too have come up with a few but would be very interested in what you have been able to find. I'm not sure how to email you but could you email me please - cas410@tsn.cc
I'll explain more then.
BTW Beautiful children. Congratulations!!!
Regards
Carina
