The Galyean Battalion: SPELLING

SPELLING

I have been absolutely up to my eyeballs in photos and post-processing (no pun intended).

However, life has still been going on at the same buckle-your-seatbelt-speed at the house with schooling, getting ready for a field trip to Cincinatti, visitations from family and friends, and all the regular stuff in between.

Today, Jackie and Joe did their spelling outside just so I could have some peace and quiet in the house for a few minutes. They enjoyed it, so I'm thinking that school may happen much more outside of these lilac walls (those of you who've been to the house know what I mean)....

This is exactly what TOO much spelling can do to a person ~ chalk or no chalk.

Keep an eye out... lots of photo peeks to come in the next few days:

Heather and Jon's Engagement Session

Marshall's Visit

Barry on the Tube in the Lake

YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN ADOPTIVE PARENT WHEN.....

1. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to kiss them goodnight has made you lose sleep.
2. You realize DNA has nothing to do with love and family.
3. You can't watch Adoption Stories on TLC without sobbing.
4. The fact that, if 7% of Christians adopted 1 child there would be no orphans in the world, is convicting to you.
5. You spend free time surfing blogs about families who have experienced the blessing of adoption.
6. It drives you crazy when people ask you about adopted child's 'real' parents.
7. You have ever been 'pregnant' with your adoptive child longer than it takes an elephant to give birth. (2 years!)
8. You had no idea how you would afford to adopt but stepped out in faith anyway, knowing where God calls you He will provide.
9. You have ever taken an airplane ride half-way around the world with a child you just met.
10. You believe God's heart is for adoption.
11. You realize that welcoming a child into your heart and family is one of the most important legacies you could ever leave on this earth.
12. You know what the word 'Dossier' means, and you can actually pronounce it!
13. You have welcomed a social worker into the most private parts of your life.
14. You shudder when people say your child is so lucky that you adopted them, knowing full well you are the blessed one to have him or her in your life.
