Tomorrow is Crazy Hair Day at school. The kids are so excited..... especially the girls. Tonight after their showers, they wanted to experiment with hairstyles. It was really touching for me to see the way they came together to help each other....... especially Rachel and Sveta who's relationship with each other isn't as strong as with some of their other sisters. I''ll have to post the final pictures in the morning after they go to school. They were in bed before 8pm so that they could get up a half hour early to work on their hair. Oh, boy!

From someone who would love to know so I can one day!!!!!!!!

Chelley,
It is so hard not to worry about money. The biggest thing is trusting God to provide. By sharing our riches with Him because he blessed us with it in the first place, we have found that money has not been as big of an issue as it used to be.
Here in America we benefit from the adoption credit and child tax credit which helps a lot. Plus, we don't eat out much, we wear hand me downs, and I don't buy a lot of luxuries. I don't have a cell phone, we use bar soap vs. body wash, we don't rent many movies, etc. These are all ways to channel money towards adoption or any other thing that is important to you.

I loved the picture of all the girsl doing their hair. I have 2 teenage boys (18 and 14) and one daughter (10). She LOVES crazy hair day at school and practices at night, too!
Your kids are beautiful and I love, love, love the picture of them all lined up! You have an amazing family.
I am really glad you posted about this. I read it this morning and was reminded that my kids were having a pajama day at school today. I would have totally forgotten!! :)
