you are officially amazing in my book Stephanie! I loathe playdoh. . . the mess that is! I love making our own homemade stuff and seeing the vibrant colours and feeling the soft warmth of it as it cools for the children. . . but the crumbs on the floor and the endless places it's found tracked through the house and the clumps in the hair at bathtime. . .oh playdoh - a love/hate relationship there. you are amazing to tackle it with TWO little ones. amazing, simply amazing.
This blog was created to chronicle our family's journey to adopt our fourth child, a little boy from Haiti. Long before knowing him, we chose his name: Ian, meaning "God is gracious." Along the way our journey grew to include not only one, but two little boys from Haiti!
Ian and Alec finally arrived home on January 19, 2010.
