City Living

We live in the city — 7 minutes from the nearest grocery store, several places to eat, drug stores and a gym. But our road is very quiet with only four houses on it. Every morning several squirrels sit on our deck waiting for some food, and one very brave one sits on the window ledge looking in and watching to see if I am going to get his breakfast for him. I am afraid to open the window, sometimes, as I don’t want to have a squirrel running around our house and he seems pretty brave. Even as I am opening the window, he is still just sitting there waiting patiently. 
This morning one of the kids told me to look in our back yard and this is what I saw. There were ten of them all together. Amazing! We live in the city and have deer in our yard just about every single day — but, not usually ten.

Just thought I would throw in a couple of pictures of Bella. She is definitely Miss Personality. You would never know that she spent the first three years of her life in an orphanage.

Play Silks

We received some play silks from Mandy over at Blessings Eternal and the kids loved them. Bethany especially seemed to enjoy playing with them. She said she had seen them in a magazine and had always wanted some. Mandy is selling them to raise money for their adoption. They are in the process of adopting two children — one who is the brother of Ben, the little boy they just brought home last year. They didn’t realize that Ben even had a brother. When they found out, they felt that the two boys should be together. Adoption can be expensive and it can be especially hard when you have just completed one. So if you get a chance, stop by her blog and make a donation or purchase some play silks, audio books or jewelry.
