This is a photo of my beloved prayer group. From left Sadie, Kat and Jessica (Mukhorty). These ladies are dear to me. The way the table looks is pretty typical of how the table looks at the end of prayer group. At times there have been 11 kids and us at prayer group and so we are constantly managing interruptions and doling out snacks. Somehow in the midst of the quiet chaos we are able to share our lives with each other and wrap it up with prayer.

On many a night you can find the girls and me dancing in the kitchen while I make dinner. Tonight I played some Arabic belly dancing music from my itunes collection and she did her interpretation of belly dancing. Chaya joined in later and they took photos of each other which I am going to place on their own shared 365 journal. Jessica's daughter is creating one as well and we are thinking of linking the kids journals together.
The more photos I take, the more I realize how much of my life revolves around being in the kitchen. I think it's time to knock down the wall between the kitchen and laundry room and expand it.
