Jalen's Favorite New Chore

This is a short video but he does feed all the girls and makes sure he gets equal amounts in all bowls and then will put the measuring scoop and food away when he is done.

Beautiful Video

As most of you know we are in the process of adoption and a friend of mine found this YouTube video and shared with me...it is just beautiful and pretty much says it all.  The bold print is my favorite and SO true.

When Love takes You In

By: Steven Curtis Chapman

I know you’ve heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You’ve heard about a place called home
But there doesn’t seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
And drift off to a distant dream 

Where love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in 

And somewhere while you’re sleeping
Someone else is dreaming too
Counting down the days until
They hold you close and say I love you 

And like the rain that falls into the sea
In a moment what has been is lost in what will be

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart

And this love will never let you go
There is nothing that could ever
cause this love to lose its hold 

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart 

When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in it takes you in for good
When love takes you in

 

New Family Pictures- August 2010

 

We only had about 5 minutes to take these pictures with the extreme OK heat setting it so we didn't get as many as we would have liked.  Once it cools down we'll go out and get more but they turned out pretty good for the quick time we had!
