Grace was feeling a tad under the weather this morning (she vomited twice in the previous 18 hours, and had a seriously runny nose), so we decided that church was not an option. The trouble was, everyone was up and ready for the day, and Justin's favorite part about church is the chance to play on the playground. He was heart broken at the thought of missing out on that. Will came up with a great solution to the problem. We went to the park. It was pretty much empty, so Grace wouldn't have the opportunity to share her germs. And...Justin, and all the other kids, had the opportunity to work off some extra energy. All in all, it was a pretty great morning!!

- 5KidMom
- I am the wife to a wonderful man named Will, and Mom to 5 amazing kids. Both Will and I were widowed before we met. We had 3 children between us when we married. We welcomed a new addition 1 1/2 years later. The pregnancy and birth were wild, so we decided to be "done". God had a different plan. We were introduced to international adoption, and started that process 11/04. We brought our 5th child home from Ethiopia 4/06. You could say our kids are Your's, Mine, Our's and Someone Else's. 8^) We are just grateful that they are all OUR'S! Someday, we will adopt from Ethiopia again. We know there is an "older child" that is meant to be part of our family. We trust that God will let us know when the time is right. Parenting is the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever taken on. I am not an expert, but I'm happy to share any insights I gain along the way. I also appreciate any tips I can glean from my readers. After all, it takes a village, right?!

Love your slide show. Looks like you made the most of the morning. Hoping Grace is feeling better soon.
what a beautiful way to 'seize the day' - and then to photograph it so well and put this slide show together!
