He Is Risen! Easter 2011
I took a Sunday off from band and stayed home Easter morning to help my six daughters get ready for church. We all had beautiful floral dresses we found at J.C. Penney's on sale. I curled their hair and tied their bows while Daniel took individual portraits of them on the stair case. This is our first Easter in our new home, and I love it. The boys were so handsome in their little suits and ties. We ended up missing first service, but the family time was worth it. I don't think God holds it against me. :) I loved seeing our friends faces at church as we came in with our beautiful little crew. I love the conversations Easter inspires with our children, learning and understanding what Christ's sacrifice for us means.
I'm a 39 year old Christian mom of 10 kids. I have six girls; Danya age 17, Gloria age 15, Jordan age 15, Brianna age 14, Katie age 8, and our other 8 year old Karyie. My four sons include Michael age 14, Shane age 13, Kevin age 11, and Ryker age 2. I also was a foster mom for about 5 years. In 2009 we adopted two of the 33 kids we've fostered. In April 2012 we adopted three more! I've been happily married to the love of my life, Daniel, for 21 years!
For privacy reasons we cannot post identifying pictures of foster children. That's why their faces are covered or only the backs of their heads are shown. We also give them nicknames to protect their privacy.
The Mini Homeschoolers
Danya and Gloria are "The Mini Homeschoolers" in a series of YouTube videos where they answer questions about homeschooling from a younger perspective. These videos are based on the ones created by two funny homeschooled young men called "Ask the Homeschoolers".
