I'm a married mother of "3 1/2" ;) and the loves of my life are my faith and my family. I've grown in my faith over the last two years since my daughter's adoption, she is the reason why I started this blog in the first place, and I'm so looking forward to watching God move in my heart, and the hearts of others who follow along on our journey towards bringing home one of "the least of these". Special needs adoption is my mission field, whether I'm adopting a child myself, or helping other families get funded, or shouting for waiting children who need families to find them, and I hope you'll come along for the ride and watch what God can accomplish when we say yes to His command to care for the orphan, and go out into the world to be His hands and feet.

Christmas Tornado

So last night we had a bit of a weather issue. Apparently mother nature has her seasons confused because it was 70+ degrees, 4 days before Christmas, and it was rainy, and perfect conditions for a tornado which is exactly what happened. Blah. Luckily the tornado was a few miles from my house so we didn't take the direct hit that we were expecting but I did wake up to branches on my roof, trash and debris blown all around my yard, a random girls bike on my lawn, and my siding and roof a bit damaged. This is where I take a deep breath and say a little prayer of thanks for home owners insurance. 

Since the ground is a soggy, disgusting hazard we spent the day inside. The little kids did some coloring, and playdoh-ing, and Thomas the Train watching, while I deep cleaned the kitchen and reorganized the cabinets and did some cooking. I even found a little time to dye my hair, whoo hoo! 

Also, because I'm completely random and ridiculous, we also spent the day in elf hats. Gotta find that Christmas cheer somehow right?!
