Orphan Sunday Plus 1 day

Couldn't make it to the computer yesterday for Orphan Sunday.

November is Adoption Month. Over the past few days I have read inspirational words about adoption. Seen several great moving videos that could or should soften many hearts. But as I sit here ready to blog about orphans, adoption etc. So many words I could say, but instead I will leave this....

A year and a half later

Homecoming Parade/ It takes a village.

We had a good time at the homecoming parade. Of course it was a "first" for the Mari, Zyia and Kylen. However the second we arrived, even in our small town there were cars everywhere. The kids in the parade throw candy...which ends up in the road, followed by other moving vehicles. Instant note to self: Do not come alone to the parade (alone..thats funny as I'm hardly ever alone), alone meaning the only adult. Lately Chris has been very busy at work. So I have taken the children several places "alone". Thank goodness the village stepped up today. From the time I got out of the car friends were everywhere to help. Which I felt so blessed and thankful.
