Musings of a mother of many
I love to make play dough with the kids.
It’s fun and easy,
and produces a crop of happy kiddos…
Not sure why, but sometimes they even shed their clothes in the process.
Clothes, or no clothes, it’s great fun, and keeps the children busy for a long time…
Making pizzas,
And snow men. 🙂
Here’s the recipe…

Please pray for this precious adoptive family.

I do,
again and again and […] Read more…
Wow!
With our new agency, we can send care packages as soon as we get PA!

Since this is our first adoption, and we are adopting older girls, I need some advice on what we should send.
I’ve heard a blanket is a great idea, but in the summer?
I’m thinking of making a little picture […] Read more…
I wanted to go for two children from the beginning. I can’t really explain exactly why, I only know that it was always two for me.
We saw Eliza’s photo on a waiting child list and just knew that she was our daughter. We sent in our LOI and received PA about two […] Read more…
This is just a quick post to say that we have PA to adopt TWO girls!!!
