Our Trip
We got to bed late, about 9:30. And of course they were up bright and early by 6:00am! We were dressed and went down for breakfast a little after 7. After watching Disney Playhouse and packing up the room, relaxing a bit, we headed out about 10:15. We went to Wal Mart first and then got to the baby shower at 11 when it started. It was so much fun! The kids did pretty well. Liam did well at first, hence the cutie pie pic of the three, but then cried during most of the rest. Braeden was getting pretty wound up toward the end, just a lot of unstructured time for him. But they had a lot of fun and it was great seeing so many family members and getting to meet some new friends as well.
After the shower we left to go with two of my cousins and my aunt to a park for the kids to run and play and let off some steam. It was beautiful out. On the way there Braeden said, "But mom, no one took a shower!" What??? I had no idea what he was talking about. "Mom, you said it was a shower, but no one took a shower." !!! LOL !!! A baby shower!!! I was cracking up! It took me a min to compose myself and explain to him. Then he said, "But that's a party!?" You're right Braeden, basically a baby party. :) The park was great and the kids had so much fun!
We then met up with family for dinner at a favorite pizza place. SO yummy!!! Liam played the entire time at the park and seemed to be doing well. He was in a high chair at the restaurant and then my uncle walked in. He has a beard/mustache and I don't know if it scared him or what, but Liam sort of screamed and wanted out of the chair as fast as possible! He buried his face in my neck and grabbed his arms around me. He ended up falling asleep and slept on my lap while we ate dinner. :)

Orphan Crisis
• 50 million orphans in Africa
• Every 14 seconds a child is orphaned by AIDS
• 16,000,000 have been orphaned by AIDS
• Every week, AIDS claims as many lives as American fatalities in the Vietnam War
• 854 million people do not have enough to eat
• Malnutrition is associated with the deaths of 5 million children under the age of five
• Every 2 seconds an orphan dies from malnutrition
Hence the title of my blog
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow
Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom
But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
