~ A Day in the Life of Mia~

Since Mia is much smaller than expected.. I have been ordering some clothes off eBay for her. She loves when the boxes come and she loves to try everything on. Obviously….And she loves to pull her glasses down on her nose and talk funny… Such a ham.:)


Mia and her baby going potty…


Yes this is the first time Mia has sat since coming home over 2 months ago… Unless strapped in the carseat. She loves the princess barbie movies!!

~So Thankful~

With these pictures, who needs words. I can’t even put into words how blessed I am. Children are a true blessing from the Lord.


I am so thankful for little Miss Mia being a little Omma. We bought her a little Asian baby from Coralie. Mia pretends it is crying all the time saying Omma..Omma, then she wants me to rock her. Mia also loves to feed her a baby bottle.


Chloe even with her tousled head, teenage attitude early morning…mom really ..pictures so early in the morning.


My 2 rough and tumble little boys..who spend hours playing Gogos, bay blades and legos together…


Camye …playing so wonderful with her little Polly pockets… Snuggling early morning…playing so lovingly with her little sister.


Love seeing the surprise pictures on my camera…of the kids posing together.:)


Mia and her technology…. She loves the phone! And from all her baby pictures…she always has!

A I am writing this, kids are arguing, cleaning their rooms, fighting, apologizing, laughing, crying…call me crazy ( oh wait, most you do)…. But I love every minute of it.

Who said this?

In addition to civic knowledge, self-restraint, and self-assertion, citizens must possess the civic virtue of self-reliance. In order to be truly free, citizens must be able to provide the basic necessities of life for themselves and their families. Citizens who cannot provide for themselves will need a large government to take care of them. And as soon as citizens become dependent on government for their basic needs, the people are no longer in a position to demand that government stay limited within the confines of the Constitution. Self-reliant citizens are free citizens in the sense that they are not dependent on others for their basic needs. They do not need a large provider-government, which has the potential to become an intrusive or oppressive government, to meet those needs.”
~ George Washington on Civic Virtue

Amazing…still true today!
