Musings of a mother of many
Today our youngest son turned five.
Three of our older kids were still at camp, and Mark was on his way to pick them up, so we had a quick dinner and cake at Mom mom and Pop pop’s house.
Make a wish, Jonathan!
Dream big, sweet boy!
We all love you…
…very much!!!
Happy Birthday, Jonathan!!!!
Blessings!

I am sad today.
I don’t even know if I will publish this, but I am a writer. When I am riddled with emotions and feelings and need clarity, I write.

We fell very hard for sweet “Melanie,” and began working to adopt her in April, and have really been on some sort of emotional […] Read more…
