Life goes on :)

It's been busy and I've been pulled in a million different directions.

The kids & I have been thru a series of challenges, each seeming worse than the one before & many times the challenges don't even end before the next begins.

For quite a while now, I have felt the desire to attribute something, a physical part of me, to them. So today I mustered up the courage and got it done.

These dragonflies are colored to represent each child. These are colors that these kids have chosen for themselves since shortly after birth. They have each carried this color into everything they do...the blankets they use, cups, plates, juices they get to buy...clothes, toys. It's "their" color.

Down the road I will have their names added around them. But baby steps for a first-timer today :)

I must say I am proud of myself. I didn't cry, I didn't whine, I didn't pass out. Thinking of the kids & their excitement to have a reflection of themselves with me always made this much easier than anticipated!

I love all my munchkins <3

Amazing Miracles!

This is a photo of my clean kitchen:






Take in the cleanliness, as it may never ever happen again...it took almost 2 years to accomplish as it is!
And it even happened after a weekend of craziness!

3 of the munchkins had their birthday party together Saturday Afternoon. Saturday evening the 3 big kids & I went to my uncle's wedding reception. The two things were back to back so we were running like mad!

Photo Bomb now :)
