My Greatest Accomplishment Thus Far…

In my life, I have had no goal greater than that of being a mother and a wife. I have a list of goals and fears from when I was a girl that said that I wanted 2o children. Pretty sure I was joking because most of my lists said 6 kids but it also listed my greatest fear being not being able to have children. I am grateful every day for the privilege I have been granted. Each and every child has taught me and continues to teach me and I have to admit, I hope that I learn a lot more before I’m through. Owen and I have been blessed with five precious children through birth and next month our oldest turns 30 years old. We lost one tiny baby through an early miscarriage and 8 other kids have joined our family through the miracle of adoption.
