Week 1

This is our first week. Number5 just came home from the hospital yesterday. We're all in a tizzy, so I don't know how much will get done. My focus is going to be on loving each kid individually, and establishing something like a healthy, workable routine.


Verse of the week: John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and told you to go bear much fruit. This is my command: Love each other.
