I got this from Pinterest and it was a huge hit here

Last nite we had our first Easter egg hunt....we put glow sticks into plastic eggs and hid them. It was magical. Even though these pics show the kids in a lighted room it was dark like the bottom and top picures here....because of the flash. It was a hit for sure. If you do it at home you have to fold the sticks like a pretzel and some eggs we taped...some stayed shut. You can't tell and the room was transformed into a magical room of colored lights....

Just in case you are not my friend on fb….

So you want to know what is on my mind ? How about a trip to Ghana over the Easter weekend to pick up my newest grand babies….Congratulation to Keith and Mary Kate for passing their exit interview this am….and thank you to Kofi in country coordinator for all of his efforts. I get to travel with Keith and our flights are booked…can't wait to hold my grand babies…what a blessing to watch your own children follow into the journey of adoption- something so dear to my heart and Gods. This makes 12 grand babies….We are again blessed by a child.

Happy St Patricks Day was made happier with the NC grandbabies arriving today....

Eli eating our green cake and having green teeth.

After a dinner of  pork chops , potatoes, cole slaw, beans and pistachio fruit salad we played cards, enjoyed each others company- especially seeing our daughter, Jenn and her kids who drove up today made it wonderful. Keith was able to make it too for dinner. He has been working 2 jobs lately and we have hardly seen him the past few months...Not a bad St Pats day and we are not even Irish.

Girl's Nite at MK are always fun....

It was Friday nite and we all went over to Mary Kate's house for a girl's nite.

Mady and Lila love their nails.

I think having older sisters is so much fun for the younger girls...and I love how they help the little ones.

We had popcorn and coke while we watched  Wreck It Ralph...which I enjoyed too. 

It was a late nite for us even Mady and Lila were up till 11 but we all had fun and yes we all were in our pj's.

Hope of Spring

Mady finishing her meds when she was sick with pneumonia ...Now she is better and our spring bulbs are up and blooming....Yes the hope of spring. 

Do you know that spring is right around the corner ? We have had so much illness that I am so ready for warm weather and healthy kids...even my grand babies have been sick. Mady the (little one) even had pneumonia ....fortunately they were able to treat it at home but she was quite sick for awhile. Here they are eating donuts at Nana's and Paw Paw's- nothing like a donut to help you feel better…. Now she has bounced back and it is good to see that sweet smile of hers....Praise God for the hope of spring.

Our grand children adoption update

These pics were taken when MK and Keith visited them in November....

I shared before that my daughter, Mary Kate and her husband Keith were adopting siblings from Ghana....Abbie and Milo our 2 sweet ones will be joining their family soon. They have a visa exit interview scheduled for March 19 and if all goes well they could be home for Easter...We are praying for that...would you remember to pray too.

To celebrate the snow that was not...

Mini Tacos

string cheese dipped in milk and rolled in bread crumbs- bake 425/ 8 to 10 minutes. Eat with your own spaghetti sauce for dipping- yummy.

Then we put on the praise music and had a party. Their favorite song tonite- God's Not Dead by the Newsboys.

Then of course you have to end every party with ice cream. Funny comment was made by Jesse, " Whose birthday is it ?" I guess it felt like a celebration.
