Judah just went down for a nap, Caleb and Mike went to Darjeeling to buy meat, (a whole 'nother story in itself), and the boys are off at school. Ahhhh....so for a few brief hours the house is quiet. As I sit here and type I can only hear the sound of the washing machine going in the background, cars honking their horns as they drive by, a rooster crowing outside, someone's pressure cooking letting off steam as they prepare lunch, and the beautiful sound of some peace and quiet in the house. Have you ever thought that God created babies to have to nap more for the parents sake? He is so amazing in how He created everything to work just right in relation with each other and really, I think that the parents are the ones who need the break more then the kids need the nap. God is so good like that!
So, what will I do with myself with all this peace and quiet....Hmmm...not sure....but I should probably enjoy it and then prepare for the crowd to come back and to feed them all. Wow, who would of thought that boys could eat so much. I am constantly challenged with trying to keep food in this house and keep everyone fed and happy. When Mike and I first moved here four years back, we didnt plan ahead when we bought our fridge, that's for sure. This is what our fridge looks like... and our pantry as well (messy i know)....
So, now that we have all these people in the house we don't have much room to put anything. Although, someone really cool (you know who you are :-) blessed our friends with a nice big fridge, so we can store stuff in there when we need to.
Oh yeah, feeding everyone...so that is why Mike and Anup are driving about an hour, hour and a half to go get some beef, so we can keep this house fed. (The meat there is much better then what we get in Kalimpong) That is a picture I should take is of the meat market. Yikes! That will make you seriously consider becoming a vegetarian. Maybe sometime I will have to walk their and take come pics....ok, I am out for now.
