Let me tell you about our crew... Momma L- I dig pretty shoes- that are comfy. And coffee, I love coffee. Big Daddy- He is gonna cringe if he sees this, lol. I also dig that. He loves playing basketball with the kiddos. JD- He is 14. He is sarcastic. He is a freshman in HS. He is a regular teen. Annoyingdotcom. I heart that. HN- 9 yr old math wiz and future rap star. Well at least that is how he sees himself. He currently is enjoying beatboxing, reading, and anything techy. Little Miss- 8 years old, loves my little ponies and her critters. She loves all things pretty. HW- 7 years old and if it has to do with construction,garbage trucks, or wild life...he's there! He is my little funny man. Baby O- 4 years old and fancies herself fancy. She enjoys all things dolly, tea party, or shopping related.

The softness of the heart

So even though the last post and this one are coming out on the same day, they really are weeks apart. I just didn't get to finishing that last one until today. haha.
Little Miss, as previously mentioned has been working on "loosing control". That is the best way that I can describe it. As you know with children that you have who are born to you they just grow up knowing the rules in your house. They know how things work, they know that you are in control. They know for instance in our house it is:
God
Daddy
Momma
Kids
That is how we roll. Daddy and Momma stick will confur with eachother on things, without children present, and we will always stick beside eachother as that is the way God made it. In other words you can't pit us against each other. But the kids who are born here just grow up knowing all of this. Take a child who has been a place or two, different rules, different values and plug em in here and they just simply don't know. They have to learn.
For as long as she has been here, she has learned a great deal. I must say, I am so proud of her. She is smart, witty, beautiful, (she looks like her birth mother, my cousin-a cute gal), and she is really trying to "get it" so to speak. She has a tendancy to argue about every little thing and this week she has been really trying to not do that, to catch herself. I have been noticing her do that the past few days, catching herself, that is something that she would not have done before and it is really neat to watch her do. Or to apologize all on her own, I am just watching her heart soften . It is an amazing thing.
