2 months ago today

• 2 months ago today we got off the plane in our matching red shirts.
• 2 months ago today we watched our kids hug each other for the first time.
• 2 months ago today I saw so many of the friends who have prayed for us throught this adventure as they greeted us at the airport.
• 2 months ago today I sat grinning at all 6 of my kids cuddling in the Suburban.
• 2 months ago today I knew without a doubt that God had brought us to this place.
• 2 months ago today I knew I would never be the same.
• 2 months ago today I had no idea how much fun my life would be!

In the 2 months we have been home we have laughed a lot, learned a lot, cried just a little, smiled, joked, teased, cleaned, laundered, sung, tickled, prayed a lot, and learned to be a family of 8. Has it been easy? No and Yes! It has not been nearly as hard as I thought it would be but it is still hard. There are nights when I go to bed feeling like I got nothing accomplished... that no one got enough "mom time". And there are nights when I lay in bed thinking that I am the luckiest woman alive - I have 6 pretty much perfect kids and a husband who is nearly perfect too!

I truly love being a mom of 6 and the past 2 months have been some of the best times of my life!
