Another One

Yesterday was another great day of our vacation!

We headed to Orlando for the day.
First we stopped at Give Kids the World Village.
Olivia's Make a Wish trip three years ago was here and we LOVE this place.
One of our favorites! :)
We go back usually one day each time we come to FL.


Liam could have ridden this all day!




Each time she has to find "her" paving stone and get a photo!


We ALL love the free ice cream parlor!



Their park is amazing!


I tried telling Braeden that this type of swing was for kids with physical needs,
but he HAD to use it anyway, and got himself STUCK! LOL
Course mom had to get a picture FIRST before helping him out!


The newer water/pool area is awesome!


We took full advantage in the 93 degree heat!





Then we headed to Medieval Times as a treat from Grandma and Grandpa!


Olivia had a ball and got her first "crush."


Because "our" knight, the green knight...


...threw her THIS and she was on cloud 9!
She held it in front of her ALL evening! LOL


Braeden cheered like crazy and was mesmerized by it all!


But I think this part was one of his favorites!
He loved the battles!


And Liam, he just drank it all in,
especially the Pepsi which he was allowed to drink,
unlike normally when we eat out!
He was in HEAVEN!


A late day, but a GREAT day!

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
