OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED: The Playroom

OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED

In the beginning, JD adamantly only wanted two children. I thought that four would be perfect. Once we caught God's vision of putting orphans into families, our plan was multiplied by God. We are currently blessed with 12 children; five biological, six adopted and one more waiting in Ethiopia. Our first adoption was from the U.S., the next three were from Liberia, West Africa, and our last two were from Ethiopia. We are supporting our 12th child in Ethiopia after her adoption could not pass court.

The Playroom

For the first time in a long time (maybe forever), we have a playroom. We have usually had a combo play-room/school room or play-room/den, but this is just a playroom. It's actually very nice during the day with this many kids to have the school room upstairs and the wild kids playroom downstairs. There's more work to be done, but it's up and functional.

I got a few pictures now, because it won't stay clean for long. I also plan to screw the train-tracks down on the train table, because Elijah loves to play train but is continually frustrated that the tracks mess up.

At this point we plan to carpet the three downstairs bedrooms and the play room, but just do large area rugs in the family room and game room. We definitely need to leave the long hall-way uncarpeted because that is our Heelie track!
