Starting over.........

Ok. I've decided that I have been inconsistent in my blogging but I do want to continue. So after much thought about what I wanted my blog to be, I've decided to just start fresh.

Yes, we are currently a family of 5 under one roof and 2 more under a Haitian roof. Soon (hopefully sooner than later) we will be a family of 7 all under one roof.

My intent is to just purge this very rattled frazzled brain of mine about our daily mundane lives. It may be blog worthy, it may not.

I'll start with us. My hubby is 41, went to college for photography but alas works in the steel industry. Go figure. He is a Godly man, a handsome man, sometimes a funny man and a man who looks good in clothes. You know the kind. He is proportionately perfect. Is that a word and did I spell it right? Anyway.

Next is our oldest daughter, E. She is 15, smart, sarcastic, silly yet serious and focused, beautiful and stubborn as all get out. She is beginning her sophomore year of high school and while she has some very typical teenage tendencies, we are blessed beyond words with this child!

After E. come C. He is 12...almost 13. He is HI-larious, wicked smart, musical, soooo compassionate and cute as a button. He is also living successfully with ADHD. C. is our middle child, suffering from much of the stereotypical middle child symptoms. He is PERSECUTED, I tell you. Persecuted. E. gets to do anything she wants and R. gets away with MURDER. I am the only one who ever has to do ANYTHING and THEY always get the credit for it...... Yea, I know. We obviously love them more than you. HA.

The quintessential baby is R. He is 8, cute, smart, tries to be manipulative, loves Jesus so much, is very musical, inquisitive, and a snuggle bug. He is a miracle baby. That story for another day.

I. is a 12 year old girl from Haiti who's bio. Mom died of cancer when she was 5. Her bio. dad lives in Haiti but cannot afford to give she or her sister the kind of life she has in the orphanage or will have here in the US. He sacrificed more than I will ever know to give his girls a better shot. I am grateful. I've had the distinct pleasure of spending a whole week with I. and she is above all a young lady who loves God and gives Him all the praise and glory for everything in her life. She is easy to love, smart, beautiful, a bit cautious and very curious. We cannot wait to have her home!

Her sister, also I., lost her mother during the childbirth of her baby brother who also died. The girls had different bio. moms and the same bio. Dad. While the birth certificate says they are twins, we know they aren't. As a matter of fact, it is pretty apparent they are about a year apart. This I. is sensitive not only with her own emotions, but also feels deeply for others. She is very smart, beautiful, loves soccer and hopes to be a great cook someday. She desires a bedroom with squishy covers and all pink and green. A wish we will be more than happy to fulfill!

I am Lee. Unorganized. Procrastinator. Child of God, wife, mom, sister, aunt, friend, who loves to laugh.

We've recently built a new home to make room for our growing family. So right now I am Decorator. And boy oh boy is it fun! Especially with fabulous blogs out here for wanna be decorators like me. Look at some of my favorite blogs to the right and you will see a couple there.

So that's all for now. I am going to try to get my camera fixed and get some pictures in here from some recent outings. The picture on top is I., I., and E. in Haiti in January. Precious.

Tata for now!
