I'm not a good blogger

Okay, by now everyone can see that my last post was ohhhhh, say about 6 months ago. Not good. But I do have a somewhat legitimate excuse....5 Chinese daughters can really wear a woman out. LOL. My children are amazing and I have it as good as it gets for a mother with 5 children who are between the ages of 4 and 11 but boy can these kids create piles of laundry! If I did nothing else but laundry, each day would be busy. I thank God that I have a husband who is nothing short of a magnificent father. He is a true hands-on Daddy,so without him this blog would be called 2 Chinese sisters since I think we would have stopped at 2 but the Lord had different plans. He kept laying this desire on my heart to adopt again even when we least expected to be adopting again and even when we said "this is it, we're done". And of course, David never said "no". I was driving in the car the other day thinking what an amazing life I have led. I have so much to be thankful for....

On another note, if you look at my last blog entry (it's the only other one, gulp)I love this little piece but I in no way want anyone to think that we feel as though we are saving children. No, we know better....we were the ones who needed saving! And I am so thankful that this is the way that we were blessed.
