Orlando Day 4

9:27 AM
Day 4, our last day. :(  We were planning on swimming one last time in the morning, but the weather was very overcast. :(  Took a couple good pictures before heading out to meet up with some good blogger friends...



We met up with Brandi and Jessica on our last day in Orlando.  The eight kids had lots of fun swimming, catching frogs in the pool, and eating peanut butter and marshmallows sandwiches. :)



Josh and his grapes...


Davis savoring his oreos...


Grace and Abby loving sliding down the bannister... (while snacking) :)


Liam and Brayden discussing life... :)


Braeden with his "best pet ever"...  Luckily there were no tears when we had to leave...


Grace was NOT impressed with the yucky frog, especially when it jumped on the back of her neck!!!


On our way out of town we stopped at Hardees.  Olivia had eaten quite a bit at the pool, but the boys, my parents, and I were busy talking and playing...

They LOVED these cinnamon sugar biscuit holes dipped in frosting! Yummm.....



Another wonderful day!  We are planning to meet up with Brandi and Jessica and the gang next week here at the beach, hopefully it works out, I truly enjoy their company! :)

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
