Pool Fun
9:54 AM
We've had some friends visiting with us the past few days, but are sad to say they had to leave yesterday. :( My friend from home, who has been a source of support and an ear to share with over so much of my life (we've known each other for about 23 YEARS), came with her two little boys. They came Tuesday night in order to see Miss Olivia for a bit before she headed off to the airport. After Braeden, Liam, and I dropped Olivia off Wednesday, we headed home to play outside in our pool arena! LOL (The huge pools that they are!) :) They sure had a blast though!!!
The funniest thing is that her oldest (and my adorable Godson), who is as tall as Braeden, is actually about a week YOUNGER than Liam! My kiddos are so puny! :) And her youngest at 2 is almost as tall as Liam! So her oldest thinks Braeden is his peer and playmate and that Liam is just some little guy tagging along! Hilarious! :)Not sure why Braeden isn't in any of our pics!? Oh well, he hogs the camera enough on other days I guess! :)

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!
Olivia - 14
Braeden - 11
Liam - 9
Macy - 5

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
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 would place the right ones

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
