A little of this and a little of that....

These are my littles looking out to our deck at Molly's dogs. They are rotweillers- Hank and Roxy. Molly and Mike are moving to Georgia and are selling their home in Hagerstown...Molly brought them over during a house showing.


We celebrated Nataly and Rachel's 20th bday . 



The past few days it has warmed up and we are back swimming...Water temperature is 86- perfect.









Our yg adults exhausted after a day of Kings Dominion. Ben and Ana taking a nap the next day.

We had white powdered donuts for breakfast :)


Mya can multi task. She can hold Calea and play on my iPad . 

These were just some of the nothingness of our last summer days....All organized for our school but we don't start until after Labor Day. We squeak out every bit of summer fun we can.

Siblings from different countries













   
Siblings from different countries....It is amazing to me how well my children get along. Even when they   are from different countries, different cultures . We had 5 bio. children. We adopted our son, Abraham from Mexico- 28 yrs ago. He fit right in with our 3 bio. kids and then we added 2 more bio. children. We also did foster care to adopt in Va.. Then we moved to WV and the Lord opened wide the door for us to adopt internationally. We have 6 children from Russia, 10 from Ukraine, 2 from Bulgaria, 8 children from Ghana, and Abraham from Mexico.

No matter how you stack them - thats a lot of pizza

To feed this group plus more- about 32 people every day....


We bought 38 Totino's Pizza for our dinner .





 Jesse and Judah wanted pizza for their b-day dinner and that is what we got for them. It is too expensive for us to get pizza at a regular place but, when Totino's are only a dollar we can do pizza nite. It just a bit more pizzas than most families.
