Homecoming Party


Last Sunday 7 dear friends hosted a Homecoming Party for our new family. We were overjoyed at the outpouring of love, well wishes, prayers, praises and the generosity of so many friends and family. The kids did Fantastic and were so excited to be going to "their" party. There were over 100 people there and the food and fellowship was outstanding not to mention the decorations, crafts for the kids, pictures of all who came and so much more. From the bottom of our hearts we thank each and every one for lifting our family up during this very exciting time in our lives.

School Picture Day






Sorry for not writing more often but that's just the way it is. I don't do my e-mails as much or talk on the phone as much or clean the house as much but .... that's OK. I'm doing other things. Like raising a large family. It still hasn't dawned on me that I'm the only one I know with 7 children. I hope to meet another large family in my lifetime. They are few and far between.

We decided to have our school pictures taken today so we went to Stone Mountain park. How many kids can say they have their picture day there? Homeschooling has it's perks!

Things are going well as we are all learning to get along and become a "Big Fat Happy Family". We've gotten the "buddy system" down when going places and have even had the manager at a grocery store give me a dozen roses because she was shocked that 7 children could go through the store and not be heard. Little did she know that I gave them the "mean mommy" speech in the parking lot just seconds earlier. It worked and we were a blessing to others. Life is different but just as special and we still covet all your prayers.
