A family I have admired from afar...



I love this family's attitude, heart, and family mantra...

"My life is not my own."

"We are a family that looks like this: a dad, a mom, three blonde children whom we share genes with, three children from Ethiopia whom we share hearts with, and soon-to-be three more kiddos from Ethiopia that we are working very hard to bring home. That will make 2 parents and nine kids. 2+3+3+3=11 Three by three by three... " Please take some time to look through their blog: Blessings from Ethiopia!

This family's heart and willingness are both a conviction and an encouragement to me! (I have so far to go...so selfish!!)

OK...Starting...so I will not be so overwhelmed...getting back on the horse

It is Noah's 10 month birthday today...and after scanning the last pictures I have put on here (7 months) I realize I am 3 months behind! Very overwhelming for me...so much to catch up on. And you should hear my wonderful encouraging husband (over and over again) asking me to "just put a couple of pictures up"...Well Joshua...this is for you :) (XOXOXO)

...And if you know me at all, even just a little, you will know that I can not stop at just 2 pictures! Enjoy!
