Today was busy because we were getting the floors ready for new flooring. The furniture had to be moved, the old carpet in the den and hall removed, and the tack strip ripped up. Then I had the joy of helping my daughter get ready for her bridal pictures. She chose some interesting places to have her pictures taken but they had special meaning to her and her childhood. I feel like wonderful memories were made today. She is so beautiful! I'll have to post the pictures after the wedding because I don't want to take the chance that her fiance might see the pictures. I can't wait to see all of them.

  1. Lydia, I dont' see an e-mail for you. I think our older kids from the orphanages never learned to play at all. Joseph struggles to fill the time. From what I understand, things are very regimented in the orphanage and the kids are constantly told what to do...or plopped in front of the TV. Shekinah can't play because she always had a playmate in her foster home and she thinks she needs to be the boss or the boss-ee

    1. Thank you for responding. I didn't think my question went through. I know that our Ellie could watch TV 24/7. We had to turn ours off for a while just to force us to not let her watch it.
      Ellie really desires to be the center of attention. Most times it is easy for everyone here to accommodate her because she is cute as a button. But we all have responsibilities and need her to occupy herself sometimes.
      She is learning. You are just the first person I've heard make that comment and it was at a time when I was tired.
      I've enjoyed reading your blog and seeing your beautiful children. As you can see I'm terrible at the blog thing.
