"Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12
"Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."~ David Platt

About Me
Welcome to my blog! Grab a cup of coffee and make yourself at home, while I tell you a little bit about myself.
I was raised a city girl, who is now living in the country, I have the best job in the world; being the Mama of 6 wonderful kids, 3 conceived in my womb, and 3 conceived in my heart. I am an advocate for the unborn, who believes in protecting the sanctity of life and although I am a sinner and often fail, I am saved by Grace. I try daily to live according to my Creator's Word.
I am also a firm believer in traditional marriages, the way God intended us to be. I'm married to my best friend, whom I happen to be madly in love with. I love sharing about our amazing God. He has changed my life and rocked my world. I lived many years without Him, and would never want to go back to that life!
I couldn't ask for a better life filled with lots of kids, an adoring husband, chaos, laughter and more love than you can imagine! That's my life....and I love it!
OUR FAMILY
The one who keeps us together, and the love of my life, my sweet hubby, Scott
Our Oldest Boy & His Beautiful Bride
Tito & Gloria
Our Handsome, Big Boy
Adam
Our Beautiful Big Girl
Amanda
Our Precious Little Guy From YiWu, China

Ha ha I know--so when????????
Ummmmm...is it an apple for the teacher??? :)
Terrye in FL
I do NOT know! I am a little slow lately...or is that all the time?? An apple...school is over?
LOVE the new header! Absolutely beautiful!
Sister, you guys are going to NEW YORK?!?!?! I wanna come!!!! How exciting. Are the kiddos going, too, or is this a romantic getaway?
xoxo, Veronica in CA
Summer break! or no doctors visits cause an apple a day keeps the doctor away!
P.S. That is a REALLY big apple!!! Good representation, if my guess is right!
xoxo, Veronica in CA
Big Apple! And it's raining here right now so the Big WET apple is very appropriate!!!!!!
Oh, if you are going to the Big Apple - how positively delightful...we were there three years ago...
But I also wonder if it means, no more doctor? Ya know, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away?"
Either way...very clever guessing game...love it!
xo
Oh, Man....... I was going to say.... You are starting a fruit salad..... that you are adopting again..... (don't know why I would associate that with an apple I was just hoping for you.) hehee
But I went and read the comments and now I know.... yes, it must be the Big Apple! Very excited for you.... it just ruined my guessing game. lol
ENJOY!
"Start spreadin' the news..... I'm leaving today...." sorry, I love Frank Sinatra and thought I would serenade you.
Well - first thought - arrows and off your head (you prolly trust Scott enough for that), next - fresh pie out of the oven works good with about any dinner....but mostly - enjoy your trip!
hugs - aus and co.
Ooooh yeah!! This NYC girl knows!! ;)
A BIG APPLE!!!!
When? When? When??!!
My first thought was New York, because that is a big apple.
so who's right?!!
Silly me. I thought it was the classic symbol of temptation. Big Apple is probably the right answer, though. Or are you reading Twilight? Does an apple even have anything to do with Twilight? Any how, I hope it's really good news. Love ya!
What's happening in New York?
You're finally going to read Twilight???????? I'm hoping that's the answer, cause it's so worth it ;)
uh...
"An Apple A Day.. Keeps the Doctor Away"...????
