I wonder if...

I will ever have time to write on this crazy blog
We will ever have enough milk in this house
There will ever come a day with no laundry to do
I will ever be able to take an important call and not have to hide in the garage
I will ever be able to finish in the bathroom on my own time and not because someone is walking in...saying ...MOM!
We will ever get through the month with money left over to spend..just because.
My dogs and kids will ever learn to communicate quietly
I can ever leave for a trip without putting my kids in a tail spin for days upon my return
The deer who visit my yard will let me enjoy flowers this year AT ALL!
I am a one note...only talking about the kids in my family, kids who need families, or the kids who just got families
My husband still thinks I'm pretty when I feel tired most of the time
I'm doing enough...
I truly recognize how blessed I am to be living this life~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALKIDAN!!!









Kalkidan is officially 6! We had a few friends over for cake and ice cream and she got her first bike which she had been really wanting. She had a great day.

Pat made it to Ethiopia in time to say good-bye to one of our Arise families who are heading home. Please pray for his time there. He met with a new orphanage today and received 5 babies who need care (one of whom is in the hospital). There is so much to be done. Please pray that God will stretch out time and go before him in all that he tries to accomplish...in HIS name and for HIS glory!
