2 Weeks ago I was able to meet Erica and Lissa with families at Erica's lovely home. We spent the greater part of the day sharing while the children broke off in different areas of the house and yard to play. 16 children in all! (plus one on the way) It was really wonderful to meet such loving and generous families whose witness gives others a little more strength on the journey we here are all traveling. They are my very first IRL 4real(ers).

I wanted to share the big group shot of us all.

The time spent with these families made me want to stay in San Diego.
We are now in South Florida and hope to find other faithful families.
But, for my oldest, it was very important to meet those big girls and see that there are other girls her age going down the same road.

Love those girls!!!! The families around here are really very heavy on the boy side! I have 4 and Maryan has 5...but our non-4Real friends have a ton too. It's great to see the pastel colors!
