Yesterday I took all four of my kids and three of my daycare kids (yes, that is a total of 7 and yes, I am a bit crazy) on a field trip. First stop was IPFW (the college I attend) to drop off some paperwork for the fall. Boy did they love every minute of that. NOT! Anyway, after that we went to the Library so the kids could turn in their summer reading program sheets. Then is was off to the new park that we have been hearing so much about. It is huge and has so many activities for so many ages. Mylee was not the only one I tried to get pictures of, I did try to get pictures of the other 6 kids but they were all too busy running around playing tag, so Miss Mylee got to be my model for the day. Of course, she didn't protest a bit.
Mylee is such a doll! I love how excited she looks on the swing...CUTE! :) And the updates on Drew are always fun to read, too!...He's growing up to be quite a handsome little guy!!
I haven't had much time lately and am just getting caught up on your blog. Poor Emmma! I sure hope she is getting better. She took a big fall. How sweet of her to be thinking of the dog. Mylee looks so cute in all her park pictures. I bet she is just eating up all of these fun things! Looks like your sale went well. I wished I was closer to be able to donate some things to sell. Drew is a doll and I bet he will be so happy to have two big brothers and of course his sisters too! Oh, I wanted to ask...What kind of camera do you have? It takes great pictures. Also, what program do you use to edit your photos? Hope things continue to go as well with getting Drew home as the seem to be so far.
I love taking the kids to the park!! They all have so much fun!! You sure have a big crew with your family and the daycare kids!! All the more fun for everyone!!
My name is Mandi and my husband Matt and I have been married 20 years. We are so fortunate to have been blessed with 3 biological children, Blake, Emma, and Gabe. Adoption has been something I wanted to do as long as I could remember. In 2008 we turned a dream into a reality when we brought home Mylee. What I thought was just going to be a once in a lifetime thing, has turned into so much more. I knew when I left China with Mylee I would return. In 2010 we welcomed Andrew and Jaxon and in 2012 we welcomed Kalia. We are currently on a race against the clock to add the newest member to our family. He will turn 14 on May 21, so we have less than 3 months to be in China. As with every adoption, we have let God take control and know that he is in control of this one as well.
A child sat on Jesus' lap in the splendor of heaven. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child." The child asked "When will it be time?"Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned,hardships endured, and loneliness lived,then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child." The child asked, "When will it be time?"Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached,self-worth affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "Their love is strong and their hearts are open.Yes, now it is time-Your parents are ready."~author unknown
