New York City

I'm WAY behind with blogging... I KNOW... and I'm SO SORRY!  I'm so busy during the day and by night I'm just wiped.  I apologize!!!! :)  I'm going to try to start and write one post each night.  Macy is doing SO GREAT!  She is sleeping well and so far once she's asleep she's out for the night, so I feel more comfortable starting a blog post and knowing I'll be able to finish it.

BUT... before I post about our trip to Haiti and our homecoming, I'm going to start with New York City.  Because on the way to Haiti, Olivia and I were blessed enough to stop over for a day and a half and spend a little girl time.  I knew that once Macy was home a vacation wouldn't happen for a while.  I also knew that we could fly to Haiti through NY and it wouldn't really cost much more than flying through FL.  With all the changes coming up and with Olivia being such a trooper to come and help, not knowing how our trip home could go with Macy's grief, etc, we went for it.

We spent one and a half wonderful days.  Wore our feet OUT.  And had so much fun!!!

We LOVED Finding Neverland!!!

Still a great shot, just bummed it's blurry!!!  (Michael Morrison!)

When were you there? We have some of the same pictures! After going to Dylans's Candy bar we went down to Economy Candy where it was only 2.99 a pound instead of 7.99 a pound! We took the same picture at the Disney store and Central park!

Kathy, that's so great! We were there in the afternoon of June 11-early morning on the 13th!

We flew in on the 11th!! We were at Toys R Us that night!!!

Too bad we can't get the girls in touch. Both adopted, both have siblings from Haiti and both graduated 8th grade. That's why I took her to NYC. Where are you at? We are headed to Elkhart, IN soon. In Orlando for book convention this week.

We are a bit south of Chicago. I'm sure they would love to get together sometime!

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
