Christmas and no melt-downs

23:45, Wednesday, December 26, 2007 .. Posted in Family doings .. 2 comments .. Link
I seem to be unusually blessed, but we have (so far) avoided the fairly typical holiday melt-down for adopted kids, especially the ones who came as older children.  Many of my friends with families similar to mine dread this time of year because it's so hard on their children and subsequently their families.  Mine just simply have not had that problem (which of course jinxes me for next year!).  They love Christmas, they love the festivities and even all the family togetherness.    I am thankful for small blessings - and large ones too, as this undoubtedly is.

I am so envious (but glad you didn't have any). Sounds like our kids are doing really well with the proposed changes in your lives. Good job, mom!

About Me

Welcome to our family blog! We appreciate you stopping in and reading about our family. Life is a journey in more ways than one.... this blog shares our joys and challenges with "homesteading" on just one acre in suburbia, raising a LARGE family, cooking, canning, gardening, adoption, waiting for the time to be right to move to the country (and preparing for that time), and finally, other musings of this mama's heart.
