Our own baseball team.

Sorry that it’s been so long for a blog update, but life here has been a little crazy! We have been a family of 6 now for a little over seven months. And things are.. Interesting! We are never bored, ever! People ask of we are adjusting, and I can only say we are living! We play as much as we can, we try to have some order (haha) and are going through some counseling to help handle the transition. This past week we discovered that we are pretty much our own baseball team, during a pretty intense family game of whiffle ball. I love that! Also, this week, I sprained my ankle, and my kids have come to my rescue many times, helping with groceries, the doors and even a little cleaning! We are this really unique family that God made, and I love it.
Now, of course.. Because there are 4 of them and 1 of me, there are times when I do want to run and hide. But I always come right back!
Our Ghana kids and are homegrown kids are starting to become friends. They aren’t all friends all of the time, but you can see them bonding, and really starting to care for each other. They all love music and that is something we can all enjoy together!
Jake is teaching Joyce to play the stand up bass! Desmond, he just shakes his booty for now.. But someday!
For those of you that don’t know.. A few weeks ago two of my sons and I entered a jingle contest for Band-aid Brand. We did It on a whim, and mostly for fun! I had on my workout clothes, so I made Joyce video from the waist up! A few weeks later, we got an email that we were picked as one of the top 12 finalists, with a chance to win a $10,000 Wal Mart gift card!!! I had to wake the kids up to tell them!
It’s hard not to get excited and think about what we might do if we would win.. But the number one thing on our list from the wonderful world of Wal mart is a dishwasher!!! Of course, the kids have other ideas, and get to pick something too. This would be an incredible blessing for our family! It would surely help out with our ever growing grocery bill:). We would really appreciate the support, if you could vote for us.. And you can vote once a day, for the next week. I’ll post a link..
Today is the last day of school for all of my kiddos and we are going to see what the summer holds for us. I am nervous, but excited! As this will be my first summer with 4 kids! I’ll let you know how it’s going! Thanks again for following our story and for your votes!!! Here’s the link.. http://www.band-aid.com/
