Randomness...

I've set my homepage to this blog site and it was SCREAMING that I hadn't posted in a couple weeks - though not because I haven't been brewing one, just hadn't felt the urge just yet. So, for now, some random tidbits (or jiblets as I like to say).

We have been following a pretty standard routine around here: rise around 7 (STILL too early for my taste), breakfast of some sort, head to the ABCY (the Ledford's way of saying the YMCA), lunch/wind down/nap (save Thad who is boycotting strongly!) and whatever the weather allows by way of evening entertainment.

This week, we have been doing the VBS thing. Has thrown a slight wrench in the plan as I am pooped and fighting the grumps, but God is good! People have been pouring their hearts out to these kiddos and some are putting their trust in Christ - AWESOME!!!

We are preparing for our trip to Brazil - finalizing childcare arrangements, shopping, paperwork. Yesterday we visited the "Infectious Disease" peeps - we got a little more than we bargained for (which was getting shot up with anti-yellow fever drugs). After the 50 minute waiting room visit, the strong recommendation to avoid stray animals, unsealed water bottles, and prostitutes, we were finally given the shots and told to "hang out" for 15 minutes - did I mention we are having VBS this week and I was already almost 2 hours late?! Didn't aid the grumpy factor! All-in-all, great trip to the Dr. Geared up and ready to go now.

Highlight of the day. On the way to the Y, I hear Hudson mumbling in the backseat:
"Mommy, mommy, talk a me. Duckbill platypus!"
"Hudson, did you just say duckbill platypus?"
"Yea ma'am"
"Okay"
"See one Mommy. See one! Duckbill platypus!"

Uh...anyone? Anyone? My 2-year old would like to see a duckbilled platypus. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There is it, our randomness laid out for all to see. Hopefully a more well thought out post to follow.
