We were brave today and took the kids to Hubers to pick apples. They absolutely loved the tractor ride and even more the apples all over the trees. Don't tell the store, but I think they ate a few. OOPS!:)
Then it was off to Harvest Homecoming. We tried to get some things to eat but it was just too busy. The kids were good and stayed by us but people would cut in front of us and we would get seperated. Too much so we just walked and talked to friends. Lots of fun! The kids did great again. I thought they might have a break down because of the crowds but they did not. They are just good! God is so good to us. We are thankful for everything they are just taking in stride. I pray that this is a testimony to someone thinking about adoption. Getting older children is not that bad.... they seem very thankful! Watch those adoption books....they can scare the dickens right out of you. And, alot of the methods in them to "bond" can actually push a child further away. Read them with the eyes of Jesus and pray for how HE and only HE wants you to care for your child. The books say not to bring your child into crowds and stay home with them to get acclimated. Again, follow your heart. Our kids had tons of fun today and the oldest thanked us for a good day.
Off my soapbox now. The Lord has a plan, I pray for us to follow it. He is watching over each of his children.
