We're DAMP but we are BACK!

We drove through hard rain all the way from Irving to Houston this morning - 

but we are back in the RV Park again!

Our day started early - we were up and at 'em at 3:30 am!

I napped in the back seat of the truck for about an hour after we stopped for a hearty buffet breakfast in Fairfield. That's the 'carrot' I dangle in front of Louis Dean!

As soon as we unlocked the camper it came an even heavier downpour!
Glad we were INSIDE by then! Didn't get to unload anything but the critters.
I tell you Lucy and Maggie were ready to get OUT of that truck!!
Lucy knew when we were getting close. As soon as we pulled onto Interstate 10 she began to stand at attention - as best she could since I was driving by then!
And poor Maggie! I think she may have been a bit traumatized early on in the trip.
She wormed her way under the truck seats to wrap herself around Louis Dean's feet.
He was driving. I don't think she understood why he began yelling and stomping his foot at her to get her to move. That might explain why she slid down the back of the sofa and hid underneath it all afternoon.

We were relieved the gazebo was still standing and the camper looked to be just as we had left it.
The bad news was I discovered rain had got in the bedroom again and the bed comforter was wet.
The good news was it was only on MY side!
I made a run for the car when the rain let up for a minute and headed over to Amber's.
I was there from a little before noon to a little before six. Roughly six hours.
What was Louis Dean doing? He slept for FIVE hours on his DRY side of the bed!

I came home and he was all rested up so we unloaded the truck and I hung some paintings from home.

I had a HUGE Santa Claus in this spot last month so I was ready to look at something different.

I plan to rotate some of my art every time I return home - kind of like a traveling art show!

I hung this one to the left of the door.

I painted in Summer's name on the older sister and Amber's name is in the skirt of the younger.

I will enjoy looking at this painting all month - especially since Summer actually spent a couple of night's here with us in the camper! That meant so much to me - to have her and Ben here!

I love Calendar Art!

I walked Lucy a little while ago and this is the view from outside.

Call me a Peeping Tom - but I love looking in windows!

Not sneaky like - mind you!

This is where I sit writing tonight.

Louis Dean has baked some potatoes for our dinner - I KNOW!

We are eating late!

After we wind down our evening here we will drive over to Amber's where we will be spending the night.

They will all be in bed and we will just slip in all quiet and go in the guest room.

She is having surgery in the morning.

She explained it in her blog post today.....

Post-Quadruplets Abdominoplasty Surgery

She has had quite the 'Quad Journey!'

She is understandably a little - maybe a LOT! - nervous!

Each and every prayer would be greatly appreciated!

Rest assured I am praying and will keep you posted and thank you in advance for thinking of my daughter at this time.

By the way.......the babies were adorable today!!
