Hello y’all! We are back from Nashville and the Clergy/Laity Congress. The children had a good time and today my cousins from Florida, (Maria~Angelica’s godparents) were in Nashville too. Sandra, Gary and Brooke watched the children for us so we were both able to go to the Grand banquet, Thursday night. The children enjoyed Brooke’s little boy Logan and I am glad Sandra and Gary had some time with their Goddaughter, the baby is growing and changing so much! I have lots of nice pictures to share. There are some nice ones of Archbishop Demetrios with the children and Maria~Angelica holding his staff. Last weekend was our Greek Fest and I am still working on those photos to share as well.
Tracy I met your priest and Mimi I met Elizabeth too! Funny to meet cyber people in real life! Tina I told Fr. I met you online, he said you are a very nice lady! Alana we had a nice time with Fr. Paul and Presvytera Katherine. Anastasia I asked Fr. Vaporis about Sam. I miss Sam. We visited with Fr. Parthenios Turner and his wife. Fr. Parthenios and Pres. have the wonderful Alektor bookstore.
More to come… for now though, I just want my own bed!
Here is a group shot of the Archbishop with the children of the clergy. Can you find my four?

That’s really cool Lisa! Did you get a chance to talk to him much? Did you tell him you helped me along in becoming Orthodox? Sounds like an exciting convention.
You were so close!! Glad you had a good time.
Hi, Lisa! It was so great to meet you! I really enjoyed watching your baby, too, at the presvyteres luncheon.
Welcome home! Sounds like you had a great time
I was able to find three out of the four of your kiddos. Not sure why I couldn’t recognize one of your boys. I better go take a closer look
Is the one son I’m not seeing behind a girl in a teal dress?
Yes that is Basil, Sarah. I put him right next to the Archbishop but somehow he ended up hidden. He’s not his Fr. LOL! In Fr.’s younger days he always managed to have a nice prominent position next to the person of interest in the photo.
Tracy I saw Fr. walking past me, I asked him if he was Fr. Michael P. and then I shared with him a condensed version of how we know each other. He had wonderful things to say about you! Elizabeth it was so neat to just end up sitting at the same table! Thank you so much for introducing yourself to me!! Too bad we didn’t have more time to get to know each other. It sounds like from your blog you had a great time in Nashville.:sunny:
I’m glad you got to meet each other but it seems weird that he’s met you and I haven’t!!!!!
Im glad you all had a great time!!!
glad you have a nice trip!!
Neat!! I see in that newsletter they have a little write up about a Chilren’s Bible that is coming out soon!!! How exciting!!! :coolman:
Oh hey, I didn’t read this post first, grin! Isn’t Presbytera Elizabeth wonderful? I enjoy both her and Father Paul very much! Grin!
