Our blog began as a way to share the journey of our Ghanaian adoption with our friends and family. It soon became a place to share the joys and trials of living a faith-filled life as the parents of an extra large homeschooling family, and to encourage others to live their lives as an adventure of faith, as well. What is FAITH . . . a Fantastic Adventure In Trusting Him

A House Full of Friends
Remember the re-decorating / re-organizing we did last fall? (see archives under "decorating" if you've forgotten). Anyway, one of the things I was most excited about was fixing up our basement Rec. Room for the teens.
Hosanna is in the high school musical, and she invited the whole cast over after the show tonight. It is midnight, and we have 25 teens downstairs ... eating, laughing, playing Kinect, playing games, eating more, laughing more, playing more. Oh yes! Mama LOVES to have a house FULL of friends (teens, young adults, adults ....).
We've had a lonely couple of years, and Mama is so THANKFUL that Hosanna has made a NICE group of friends in the cast of "Once Upon A Mattress".
The boys will probably go home by 1 or 2 ... and then some of the girls are going to spend the night. So fun! (Yes, it is Thursday night. Our local school takes a "Winter Break" for the State Basketball Tournament, because our boys and girls so often qualify for State. So, there is no school tomorrow, thus the late night party on what would typically be a "school night".)
THANKFUL ... for Hosanna's new friends.
THANKFUL ... for the opportunity to be in the musical.
THANKFUL ... that so many of the cast love Jesus.
THANKFUL ... for a big house.
THANKFUL ... for all of the awesome Craigslist deals
we got for re-decorating last fall.
