Another great day in FL!  I got up bright and early, my one early shopping day of the year, and headed to Target.  I love all their Christmas toys they have each year and always stock up the day after Christmas for next year's stocking stuffers.  After a bunch of great deals, I picked up Olivia and we went to get my hair cut.  Then we headed to the mall to spend some money which was again burning a hole in her pocket!  She had decided to use Christmas money to get her ears pierced (again).  The first time was a birthday gift and she ended up taking one out at school, so I left them out.  I'm hoping she's learned her lesson and leaves them in this time! :)


We girls had lunch at Panera and then headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's.

The kids got a few outdoor toys for Christmas so we spent some time outside playing today...

Olivia did great on her pogo stick!


Santa gave each of the kids a skateboard and they were in heaven, having wanted these forever! :)  I have it on good authority that Santa and his wife got great deals on these! :)




Unfortunately we all have pretty sore throats which is not much fun right now.  Braeden seemed to be the worst and during dinner just did not want to eat, asked to be carried, and was almost moaning aloud... oh wait, he was moaning! :)  We took his temp and it was a whopping 103!  Poor guy, no wonder he was moaning!  Praying it's short-lived and that the Motrin kicks in quick!

It was a long, but good day... and we had one tired pup who crashed hard about five minutes after being sent to bed...


Off to Krispy Kreme tomorrow for breakfast and another day of ice skating for Olivia! :)  Good night!

Loved seeing all the pictures! And I'm impressed with Olivia on the pogo stick. I got one for Christmas one year and never figured out how to use it. :)

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
