We decided that five children just wasn't enough (no, I'm not pregnant again) so, we invited some of the college girls from our ward to join us for Family Home Evenings on Mondays. They need a "home" for FHE and we enjoy the extra company. They come over for dinner which, I am sure, as college students they are happy to have a home cooked meal. Aaron joins in their discussions on professors and classes, while I enjoy having more girls than boys in the house. Our family likes to have guests over, although they don't really seem like guests. They have just become part of the family so, we have even included them on our assignment chart.
Sandra joined the church a few years ago. Both of her parents have

passed away and she is the only member in her family. She recently returned from a mission. Norma just moved to our ward a few months ago. She grew up in a less-active home and went to church by herself for years. Sarah (whom our baby is named after) joined the church 5 years ago after going to girls camp. She is the only member in her immediate family. She has been part of our family for years and really feels like a daughter except I'm only 10 years older than she is.
So here they are, our three adopted daughters. The nice thing is, they are past the "terrible two's" and already potty trained. It is a great system. Now, we just need to convince them that they need to move up north with us.
