Round and Round She Goes....

Round and round she goes, where she stops no one knows. The kids jumped out of the car and into eachother's arms. They hugged, they laughed and they ran and they ran and they ran and they ran and phew! Dull might as well be a four letter word when these kids get together. I'm not sure we even had five solid minutes of focus. They just wanted to play. Together.

Round and round she goes, where she stops no one knows. Some have a simple definition of family that has to do with whom came out of whose belly, common heritage, and blood type. But others, they have a larger definition that has to do with love, destiny, and sacrifice. These nine people define family in the truest sense of the word. One mother's act of selfless love gave another woman the chance to be called Mom. But really, she didn't say goodbye to her twins, she said hello to an amazing couple and grew her family even larger. And that amazing couple not only filled their hands with precious babes, they filled their hearts with love for 5 more. Now they gather together as one family.

As I was trying to catch up with the kids I overheard one mom laugh at the craziness and jokingly say "what have I done to this world?" I couldn't see the two of them, but the next words came out with the tenderness of a giant hug, "you've blessed it with beautiful children".
