Easter Break is almost over :(

Sad times, the kids go back to school Monday. I have so enjoyed spending time with the kids this past week. It went way to fast and I didn't feel we got to do as much as I would have liked to.

We did make it to the beach twice and movie once. Anya is having a sleep over tonight and going to the movies tonight as well.

It is so nice not to have to get up early and work on homework late. I am giggling right now as I babysit my sister four kids and they are in the backyard and Mary is screaming "I found an orange one I found an orange one." Refering to a ladybug they have been hunting for over the last half hour. I am tired from a long day, but fun times! I am feeling so blessed to be surrounded by the joys of kids.

Prayerfully Considering Making Blog Private

Peter and I are prayerfully considering making our blog private. Originally our website that then morphed into a blog was set up as a means to keeping our friends and family informed of our ever changing interesting way God was growing our family. . . . . with updates on where we were in the process. As a bonus some people had stumbled onto our blog who were going through infertility. Some of these readers found some hope and comfort in the fact that we had survived infertility for 13 years surely they could. Some learned a had feared being so open about their infertility or adoption and our story helped them through that. Sigh. . . . . I am so torn. Our family is in a different place now and though I have absolutely no shame in our story, I worry that it can affect my children. It has affected my children (our story not the blog). Kids unfortunately have free access to computers and though google is my friend it can also be used by kids just thinking they are having fun googling their friends names. Mary will be in first grade next year, its time to step back and pray about if we should go private with our blog. If we do I would post a warning for anyone that wanted to email me for the password. Some of you I would email already. If you feel called to do so could you please join me in prayer as we consider?

Happy Easter!!!!!

Feeling so blessed in my life. With the best husband in the world. Peter is the best. He provides for our family and rarely complains. During this tax season he has started work every morning at 6AM, so that he can be off work at 5 PM and help with homework and bedtime duties of the kids. Again never complaining. He helps with the cooking, cleaning, homework and yesterday took his three girls and 4 of his nieces to see Hannah Montana the Movie. Peter is one of a kind I am blessed to call him my husband.

The kids woke up very excited at last it was Easter. Anya was looking foward to sweets because she had given them up all during Lent (peter too). Beautiful children God entrusted Peter and I with. The privledge to be called mommy by all of them. I love my family!

Nightlights Gala!

Last weekend we went to Nightlight's 50 TH anniversary Gala. It was fun! Here are some pictures of the kids.
