Outdoor Saturday

6:40 AM
It was SUCH a gorgeous day Saturday! So I was very glad our day consisted of many outdoor activities!

 First off was Olivia's soccer game! 








Then a bit later was a family picnic with our church family.  There were SO many activities for the kids to do, lots of yummy food, and great conversation!


Can you tell who won the obstacle course!?  :)  (Fake pout, I don't think she knows how to pout if a camera's around!




 Part of our church (we have two buildings) is on a college campus and we used their warming house for our get together.  We loved watching the band march and play on their way to the football game!





 This is what happens when you have an afro and walk too close to a pine tree! :)


Then we were all given free tickets to go to the game!  We didn't stay long, but saw part of the first half and halftime.  It was the kids FIRST live football game and they were entranced!




So much so that THIS one wasn't too happy to leave. :(  We'll go again buddy! :)

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
