Sometimes that's what I think of us as -- the Crazy Eight! After all, this summer there will be 8 members in our family! WAHOO! I'd say that's all we'll ever be, but I said that after we were three, then four, then five, and then six ... and now we're jumping up to eight. So that nickname may not have a long shelf life, but for now that's us.
Why the CRAZY eight? Well first, because that's what popped into my mind. We really enjoy the card game! But also because we want to be crazy; Normal is too safe, too comfortable. Radical is more what we're going for. We want to radically love, radically give, radically live. That's how lives are changed.
Today is the last Saturday I'll have with the four children already in our arms. It is bittersweet. But we're enjoying our traditional Saturday: cartoons in our jammies followed by errands and then cleaning so that we can fully rest on Sunday, then topped off with a yummy dinner (hello, pizza!) and movies and snuggles and some silliness. Days like this are my favorite -- together, simple, and always enjoyable. There is such an anticipation within me for the next Family Movie Night we'll have ... with two more children to snuggle and tickle and giggle with. WOW. Just WOW.
We are getting closer to our goal of $5,000 before week's end ... so please pray that we hit it! After that, we'll be heading toward our next goal ... but it's one step at a time.
