OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED: First Day/Second Day

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.

First Day/Second Day

I did take first day school pictures yesterday and I actually tried to post them last night, but the internet kept coming and going with the storm. So, here's day one on day two -

Selah - 1st grade

Julia - 3rd grade

Tori - 4th grade

They were all smiles heading off with their new lunch boxes, backpacks and tennis shoes.

The really good news is that Tori and Julia's room is all ready for the new school year also - new paint, new bedding and clean drawers with new school clothes. Since it's in the 90s, I am delaying getting out the fall clothes, but the drawers are tidy and waiting. (It's the ONLY clean room in the house right now, but I'm hoping to make progress on that as well.)
