Brooklyn our Sweet Pot Pea

Brooklyn has a magnetic personality that EVERYONE loves to be around. She is affectionately named Pot Pea. We got the name after we started calling Bailey, Chicken Nugget. When Brooklyn was born we had a new 'chicken' who needed a name. We started off calling her 'Chicken Pot Pie' but it later changed to 'Sweet Pot Pea'. Brooklyn is such a sweetie I thought I would share a little bit of her personality. The picture above was taken yesterday after she spent the day taking care of her babies (two adopted and the others biological :)) Before I took the pictures she rattled of the names of each of them. In order from left to right (just the babies) WHATEVER, EMMA, EMMA, EMILY, TAYLOR and NELLIE O'MALLEY (twins) and BRIDGETTE.

This is a dance that Brooklyn performed for us tonight. She is wearing her most favorite skirt. She is a little sketchy on the wording except for one line that is supposed to say 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth'. Brooklyn's confident line says 'the FAMILIES and the earth'. Totally something that I would say :)

Reece's Rainbow

There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own.

If finances aren't a way you can help, please look across their photos and say a prayer that each one will find their forever family soon. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry which also advocates for orphans with other disabilities across the globe. Please "grab this button" and post it with a message to your own readers as well. It starts with ONE, but then grows exponentially. You never know, your own post may be one that finds a family for one of these precious children.
