Exhausted
Yesterday was so peaceful. I came home from swimming to the sweetest sight on the front porch. Tux, the duck, was swimming in his pool while Slurpee the cat and the two last kittens napped by the pool. It was the first time the kittens got brave enough to come all the way to the house from the barn.
It appears that the last two kittens will be permanent Foringers. Ben claimed and named the boy Kayden and Moriah claimed and named the little girl Tally. I have no idea where either name came from, but they are cute. (Ben's other name ideas were Shark and Firefoot, so we may have acted a bit more enthused for Kaden!) I'm not sure Tally has recovered from all her Julia bonding time yesterday,
We then took a quick trip to the Berry Farm to pick blackberries. They were pretty tart but we enjoyed some smoothies and the atmosphere.
This is how I view Elijah - he often looks like this accompanied with "Momma, Momma."
Today has been a rat race. I left early this morning with eight of my nine children and didn't arrive back home until dinner other than a quick stop to grab sandwiches at lunch. My favorite part was shopping with the youngest seven while Alei was at a church function all afternoon. Obviously the worst time to drag children from store to store is when they should be napping! I would have to say the highlight of the shopping trip would be tied between the lady at Goodwill making an announcement to keep children right by your side (I had the only children in the store and they were behaving fine, but I only have two sides and had seven children) and when Ben convinced Tori and Julia to lick some horse product at Tractor Supply.
It's 8:30 and I need to go to bed just as soon as I eat my dinner, clean the kitchen, fold a few loads of laundry and braid Julia's hair.
On a happy closing note, here's the pictures of Elijah watching the fireworks that I had previously mentioned.
They are all blessings; they just feel like bigger blessings some days more than others!

Phew, what a day, LOVED the pics! Hard to believe Elijah is almost a year old.
