Sooooo, we've added our number four child in the mix of after school activities.  I'm beginning to understand what my big sis told me many years ago that the older your kids get the busier life gets, one hardly has time for anything else.  Amen to that oh wise sister.  My plate is full.  Well, actually there's some room left on the plate for a little girl from Ethiopia.  We're still waiting for our referral but feeling hopeful.  Okay, maybe not hopeful.  Actually it can be pretty discouraging at times but she'll come.  I hope.  Maybe.  I just know we're doing what we're supposed to be doing so come what may.  In the meantime we'll enjoy our five kiddos and keep our house hopping.  

And I really think Eli is one of the cutest kids this side of North America.  He gets in trouble practically everyday at school for various things but it doesn't bother me.  It's that whole fourth child thing, a more laid back mom.  Lucky kid.  Or maybe I just don't have time for it.
