I am beginning this blog for therapy. Really, I am.
Over the last year and a half our life has radically changed. In June 2010 we went to Ethiopia and brought home Aiden and Asa. In October 2010 we welcomed Nathan. Of course, all of this was preceeded by the birth of Noah in July of 2007.
That's right.
4 kids aged 4 and under.
Am I certifiable? Yeah, probably.
Am I blessed, absolutely!
When I am out and about with all 4, which is not for the faint of heart I might add, people just stare. Some laugh, some gasp. Almost all of them say, "Wow, you have your hands full." And most of the time I just want to scream, "You are absolutely right! Help!" Although I feel like an absolute, frazzled mess most days, I am thankful for each of my children and I would have it no other way.
In addition to theraputic reasons, I am starting this blog because my kids are funny.
Yeah, every parent thinks that. But mine....they really are. At least I think so.
With this blog I am hoping to record our journey, wherever God leads, with honesty and laughter. There are a total of 8 in our circus. My husband, myself, our boys: Noah, Aiden, Asa and Nathan, and our dogs: Suzie and Sophie. I am going to warn you, both boys and dogs are messy and gross.
