More Weekend Pictures

Liam had a lot of fun with the mirrored closet at my aunt and uncle's house. He also LOVED the cowboy costume they gave him. So did Braeden. And we had some nice sibling rivalry over it! :)



Olivia's favorite thing was their pinball machine. I used to play this when I was her age! :)

Liam made a new best friend over the weekend! The husband of one of my cousins! :)

Braeden loved the huge bear!

Someone already has her mommy, daddy, and grandpa wrapped around her little finger! :)

A new version of Santa and his reindeer...
When we went out for brunch, my uncle gave Braeden the ketchup so he could put some on his eggs. Braeden has an affinity for ketchup thanks to my dad! Little did my uncle realize just how much would get squirted on! Here he is taking a bunch OFF. Notice Braeden's face, he is none too happy!
My cousin and her daughter. She LOVED my camera for some reason and kept making this squinchy nose face whenever I took it out and readied it for a picture! We think it's because of the red light! :) Too funny!
Yay, great memories!

About Me

I am a single mom to four amazing kids; each of whom just happen to have been adopted. The first three were adopted through foster care, and we just completed an international adoption from Haiti. Our family has grown through adoption and I am all the more blessed to know each of my children. I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

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
