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.

Here

I am here!! Just busy! 

This craziness that I love.

So we lead a busy life here. Things are crazier than usual with the HFTF conference coming up this weekend, all the foster stuff going on this month, a visitor from out of town, and just day to day life. We stay busy. I like busy. I think that some people see busy and it scares them... Slow down!!! Take a rest!! But others love the crazy! I friends, love the crazy. I love knowing what God has called us to do. That he has called us to the mission field in our own backyard, that we can and will obey. Me, little ol me. I get the privilege of being His mighty hands and feet, I get to obey. It is just awesome.  I get to show my children what obedience to God looks like, sacrificial, loving, tender, caring, broken out for Him. We could totally choose to not do things, but being where we are now, I don't know how I could ever go back. You can't unsee, and unknow things. Your heart can't be unbroken for the least of these. You can't un-cry tears of pain for having hands tied in sticky situations while waiting for a better outcome. You. Can't.
So do I love the life and the road God laid out for me. Of course, he knows me best, he created this heart to love a house full. This life might not be for everyone, but I am thankful God gave is the strength and courage to bravely walk down and follow His path, because this life is for us.
Adoption Day!!!!!!
As I type, I have lawyers bringing me papers to sign. We should be all set to be finalizing on NATIONAL ADOPTION DAY! 
I am so thrilled!!

October and all like it...

Wouldn't it be crazy if one day you just jumped on here and saw...
Well not much to write about! Life has been so boooorrriiinng! Nothing to report!

That however is not the case. Along with having our new addition, we have Hubby's cousin Carlee visiting from Kansas. She is a fun gal.

Mr. J, the new addition, he is a great guy. We really enjoy having him, and fill blessed for the privilege to get to have him for as long as we will get to.

Lil Miss, oh Lil Miss. She has grown so much over the past year. Not just physically,  but emotionally too. She is coming to terms with hard things. Things like responsibility, ownership for actions,  and bonding... Slowly bonding, I know to people who don't understand it seems like that stuff should happen quickly, but it doesn't. We are happy with where she is. There are small thins that happen more slowly, and that is the way it has to be to happen right.


And there is more... ADOPTION DAY,,,,,

WE HAVE A DATE!!!
