  3. the event looks like such fun! I have only just stumbled across your blog, when I found your video on Youtube. It made me want to adopt too!! I don't know if that will ever be a reality for me and my husband though, because we live in Australia and adoption in our state is crazy hard to do, but with God all thigs are possible!!
    Anyway, your family is beautiful, and i'm finding your blog lots of fun to read!
