The Bananas in Fine Form

This picture was taken Halloween night 2007. It shows how crazy, and yet adorable my bananas can be! Their Daddy Banana was sad to have missed such a "fun" night! No, really, it was fun, just a bit chaotic, as most of my life is - especially lately.

Every time I go to the store with littlest bananas, people look at me with a cross between admiration and sympathy, as they say, "wow, you must have your hands full!" I used to reply nicely, that yes, life is busy. Now, when I only have the two, I say, "Oh, this is a break for me. I have three more at home!" You can just see the shock and awe in their faces. Maybe that is why I say it - shock value, and maybe I just take every opportunity to vent a little, or maybe a little of both. Recently, however, I have been reminded of how blessed Adam and I are! Despite the hard times, we have seen the hand of the Lord in our lives with many things, not least of which, our bunch of bananas!

And so, to all you ladies and gentlemen out there who see me in the store, and wonder what I was thinking, I say, I don't know, but my existence is a sweet, if somewhat muddled one, and I wouldn't change it for anything!
