Easter Eve
The past week has flown by! Most days, I really wasn't sure which day of the week it was. You can bet that my kids are not going to let me forget what day tomorrow is though. Thanks to a little help from Grandma before she went back to Colorado earlier in the week, we had all the necessary supplies to get ready for the big day. We wrapped the dining room table in a plastic drop cloth, and Will and the kids went to town painting the eggs. We have lovely tie-dye, sponge-painted creations this year. Happy Hunting!!!

I am just catching up, and finished reading about your trip and your arrival home. It sounds like you are recovering and adjusting well.
Grace (and all your kids) are just beautiful. I especially love Grace's little pixie ears!
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?!

Congratulations again.
You have a beautiful family! It's always refreshing for me to read about people who still enjoy the "good ol family life". I enjoy your posts!
