Talking Easter pictures

Here are some of the pictures we took today. Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter. My thoughts and prayers are especially with those still waiting for their children to come home. The picture of me with the two boys and girl is of my Pacific Islander children. The bigger boy is my DD's bio brother 19 who came to live with us this last Feb. He is doing well and fits in great. Abby and Gabi are now three and a half and as you can probably see from the pictures are double trouble and too much fun.

Beautiful Children!
God has truly blessed your family.
Wonder if I could get DH to agree to 12?
We already have 5 blessings!
