The boys played in a charity Wiffle Ball tournament Saturday. Suprisingly, they took 2nd place! Not bad for a team with a guy who’d never swung a bat before.

Day 51
Last fall, we got a dog on a whim. It turned out she had what amounts to breast cancer. We’ve known for a while her days were numbered. Now she’s in doggy heaven. Thanks for being a great dog, Hope!
Day 50
We have loved watching Mia and Kayla’s relationship and PJ and John’s. They’ve found new best friends. God sent exactly who each of them needed. A lot of people (including us at time) thought we were crazy for adopting 3 out of birthorder. It’s not for everyone, but so far PJ and Mia have taken...
