TABLE FOR SIX
All children come from God, for some the journey home just takes a little longer. -- Author Unknown
About Me
- Table for Six
- I am a stay-at-home wife and mom. We just adopted our third child from China. We have been blessed with four children. I am married to my best friend who keeps my feet to the ground and keeps me sane! My children keep me laughing and young. We home-school and we are a military family. I am a child of God. This is our life and you are welcome to join us as I document it for our children.
