OUR PLANS MULTIPLIED: October20

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.

Big Fun

I didn't remember to post this group shot from the zoo. I have to say the hanging masks add a new element to photography. Any picture of Oliver by an animal statue has him mimicking the animal. It it's teeth or tongue was showing, he showed his. Pretty observant honestly.

We have some happy kids since our long-awaited go-cart came home yesterday!

I love Oliver's smile in this picture - he was pretty impressed just sitting in it.

These four were half the dogs at our house yesterday.

Alyssa's got a good support network when she works her internship this semester. Alei takes home Oliver and the doggies on Thursdays. Reese, the new puppy, rides up front -

Oliver and Lucca get the backseat -

And Keanu gets the hatchback. After hours of running the farm, they are all chill on the ride home and Oliver thinks it's normal to have three dogs in the vehicle leaving Mimi's.
