New for Hallowe’en
Just take a golden pumpkin
Of quite the largest size,
Cut all ’round the stem, just so,

After a very tiring pregnancy, I am so amazed to look around at the beautiful children that the Lord has blessed me with, to say I feel unworthy is an understatement. Five children is alot in this day and age but I really have no idea what I would be without them.
