craziness!


i used to take my weekends as a break from the chaos...
now it is the chaos!

two years, four adoptions and a total of eight kids...
changes everything!!

add a few friends every weekend and we have our own ball team!


last weekend we had our very own volleyball tournament in the backyard
with complete teams :)  
We grilled 32 burgers and 20 hotdogs... it is always a party!

however, for all the craziness, there is an awful lot of reward!
with the tears, comes hugs...
with the lectures, comes lessons...
with the frustration, comes excitement...
with the bad grades, comes learning moments...
with the constant piles of laundry, comes extra prayer times...
with the fights, comes make up apologies...
with the full house, comes lots of lives to pour in to!
AND
with all the constant disciplining required, 
comes constant God conversations!!

which Praise the Lord has led to
3 of our kids receiving God's gift of Grace recently
and are to be baptized this Sunday!

for all the struggles we've seen there is
GREAT ETERNAL REWARD!
