We have been many places in the last two weeks. We have seen many friends and been with people who want to come to Honduras next summer. Many plans have been made and we are excited about the number of people that are excited about the work that needs to be done.
Yesterday we got up really early, drove from Searcy to Little Rock to get Camille. We arrived at Nathan's and Julia's house around 6:30. We knew Camille was up because the light in her room was on. Julia opened the front door and Camille came running out to meet us. This was a day we on which we had all been waiting. Camille was going to Texas.
We got her bag and loaded it into the car, along with Marc's golf clubs. After many hugs and kisses from her mommy and daddy we were on our way.
I bought new books, crayolas, markers, stickers, and coloring books. And a new pair of sunglasses for the trip. We were not even out of Little Rock when she asked me if I would ride in the back with her. Of course, I said yes. I crawled from the front seat to the back seat. A sight not to behold, I am sure.
We colored a while. Grammy really liked using the brand new colors. We read and used all the stickers. We sang songs. Some we already knew and some we made up as we went. After lunch, we both took a nap.
I was a bit concerned how she would do on that long of a trip. She did great. But she was glad when we got to Marc's parent's house. She was not the only one. She ran in hugging everyone, including Sugar Bear, the dog. This morning she hugged all of my family. We still have some churches to visit and some business to do, but we are having so much fun with our granddaughter and our parents.
Thanks Nathan and Julia for sharing Camille with us this week.
