Starting Over!

I am a horrible blogger.  For months now I have been formulating in my mind how to catch up or catch everyone up on our family.  I daydream about different ideas, some creative and some more practical, but still nothing is posted.  I finally am just trying to let go of my perfectionist side (a little!) and start and try to catch up somewhere down the road.

Even right now, I am having a fit because I can't get everything to align center.  See I didn't really do this blog on my own, as a matter a fact, I have little to do with it at all.  An online friend/artist created this little space for me.  Hopefully if I blog a little more, I will get the hang of it.  I am not really as much computer illiterate as I am impatient. 

Ok...so where are we now?

The "not-so-favorite-question" that we get asked the most,
"So how many kids DO you guys have now?"  You have to get the DO right.

The answer is: 12!  Yes, a dozen!

TJ - 24
Baylee - 15
Kennedy - 14
Max - 12
Christopher - 12
Hayden - 10
Addisyn - 7
Xia - 5
Harrison - 4
Havyn - 4
Samuel - 3
Reese - 2

All very much our own! We have three biological children and nine adopted children from the US, Kazakhstan, China and Ethiopia.  We are not so patiently waiting for Harrison and Havyn to be united with us as soon as their paperwork in processed by the US Embassy in Ethiopia.
