Out of Africa

Well, I just got back from two weeks in South Africa and I truly had an amazing time!  I had a great group of 35 and everything went smoothly, we had great weather and the sights were incredible.  All the while, I kept checking in to see how things were doing at home, not knowing who had the harder job - me with 35 on the road or Chris with 2 at home.

Through the power of technology, I was able to send daily pictures and videos and we were able to video chat pretty frequently.  Whenever I did manage to call at a time when the boys were awake, they seemed more interested in being able to hold the phone than actually talking to me.  When I got back, they both seemed so much bigger than when I left.

One night before I got home, Asher wanted to sleep on his floor.  Rather than allowing him to sleep on the  floor, Chris brought in the race car bed.  Imagine my surprise when I came home to see Asher's "big boy bed" in the middle of his room.  And since Riley got upset that Asher was using "his" old bed, Riley got to sleep on his top bunk for the first time.  Changes all around!

I just went in to check on Asher and I am not quite sure that he understands the new bed completely...
