April 2014 begins

Pretending to sleep during reading class. 

We went to Destiny Mall (wow!!!!!) last night. With seven levels and a bowling alley, this mall has it all. The kids were in sensory overload. It was hysterical!

It was wild, looking out onto the city of Syracuse. The reality of it being our new home made me sick to my stomach and grateful at the same time. "How in the world did we get here?" And "What are we doing?" crossed my mind as I stared out the glass windows. 

Then the children started jumping on Matt and I remembered why we do what we do...

Like I say to the kids when they keep asking "why?" : "because God said so!"
