I'm officially a mom of 6 beautiful children!!! Yesterday, was an awesome day.
We took ALL of the kiddos with us to the lawyers office and to the court house
for Johnathan's adoption. They were amazing! Avry started to fuss just once
in the judge's chamber room during the "proceeding?" I prayed hard!!
She quickly stopped and was satisfyed by Anna. Tina, Aunt Jenny, Ruth (Johnathan's
CASA) Kristin, his case worker, me, john and all 6 kids went in! Wow!!!!
It's done!!!! God is wonderful and gracious! I sooooo do not deserve the
opportunity to raise another child- but God is in control!!!!
Food... I did ok.. not spectacular! I truly didn't overeat at dinner
and by the end of the night I was laying on the couch in severe stomach
pain! It felt like labor- seriously! Eventually I was "relieved"....if you know
what I mean! (TMI?) Kristy and Matt saved the evening by helping
get kids to bed. My granny cleaned the kitchen and A. Robin was the grand
director of things :)
The... at 3 a.m. I was awakened to Abby's crying with stomach pain. She vomitted
on and off the remainder of the night. I ended up sleeping in her bed with her,
which is a day bed... we were cozy :)
I still need to go weigh and exercise.. so I'll post again later!
love you all and thank you for your prayers and support with the adoption!!!!

Yay!! Welcome to the family, Johnathan!! And way to go, Townsend Kids!! (Adoption proceedings are fairly boring, so I'm super-proud of all of you for honoring your dad and mom and being well-behaved!!!!!)
It sounds like a very yucky and nasty stomach bug has hit your home. I'll be praying for very QUICK recovery and for protection for the rest of your family. Love you!
Yeah! Johnathan is offically part of the Townsend gang! Congrats!
So sorry to hear Abby is sick. Praying for the whole family!
Yay!! So glad it is official and that it was a wonderful adoption day and celebration following. Congratulations!!!
Hope Abby feels better soon...we've been dealing with it as well. I'm sure having a houseful brings about worries of everyone catching it, so I'm praying for the whole family :-)
I am so excited for you about the adoption! You and John are so wonderful and Johnathan is so blessed to have you guys. I am also praying that the stomach bug passes very quickly in your house.
Congrats on the adoption.
You have a new child and ironicly enough you were up at 3a on his first offical night as part of the family. ;}
Hope your stomach bug passes quickly.
Love ya bunches
