Today
10:56 PM
...was a gorgeous day.
And we took full advantage!
Some other highlights of the day...
Braeden's poem inside his Mother's Day card...
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I may be a pain
But I love you
(Hilarious!)
Olivia at our Oliv*e Garden lunch ate: three breadsticks, a plate of salad, four pieces of pizza, a pile of garlic mashed potatoes, and a mini chocolate mousse.
And Liam, upon hearing us talk about the chocolate mousse said, "Dead? Real? You ate it?" Obviously he needs a lesson in Mousse vs. Moose!
But I think the topper was the Mother's Day breakfast in bed which the kids have talked about doing for the past week or so. They "took my order"... let's go with toast and clementines (no big disasters could happen there right!?)... and when I got my plate... gotta love the two pieces of toast made with the ENDS of the loaves of bread! Thanks gang! LOL :)
We had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day and I hope you did too!

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

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
