Here are the highlights of 2008 ~ in no particular order!
- Flying to Ethiopia to meet our kiddos.
- Coming home from Ethiopia!
- Watching Danny and Jacob play baseball together
- Addy being "potty trained"
- Watching Joseph play soccer and
- Discovering I am one of "those moms" who scream and yell and go crazy at games
- Watching Marti play volleyball - she is so much fun to watch
- Experiencing life through Lilly's eyes... it is so much more exciting than I ever imagined
- Learning to be a mom to 6 kids... it is fabulous
- Discovering friendships that we could not survive without... thanks to all of you who have been there for us through the good and the bad times
- Learning that my house doesn't have to be perfect... good enough is often good enough
- Watching Ben's faith, patience, and his "great dad qualities" grow each day! He really is amazing!
- Experiencing our kids faith walk as they learn more about Jesus and His plan for our lives
- Watching Mama Mia with friends! I can't wait to watch it again!
- Hearing about "the BUFFALO Hunt" over and over again - the boys "giggle" each time they retell it!
- Watching our family and friends fall in love with our kids
- Passing my National Boards
- Discoving God's plan for our lives and how well HE provides for our needs when we follow his will.
- Spending time with family on various long and short vacations over the past year.
- The countless nights I have gone to bed with a slightly dorky smile (and sometimes a shout to "be quiet") while listening to the kids laugh and talk as they fall asleep.
I am so thankful for this most wonderful 2008!
I can't wait to see what God has planned for 2009!
