And riding through "It's a Small World", with so much meaning for your family!! We thought about all day and are sooo glad that you had so much fun at the "Magic Kingdom"......I just KNEW that it would cast it's magic upon the LaJoy family!!<br /><br />I'm so happy that Dominick was able to join you all, if only for a few days!! Enjoy the family time and the rest of your CA visit!!!Lenorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384435816856914734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-55967084656094651012010-08-27T09:27:47.322-06:002010-08-27T09:27:47.322-06:00You are so good with words, Cindy.

It is a gift that they can still be innocent and free to explore the world and life with you and Dominick. What a great surprise to have him come to share some time with all of you! <br /><br />I do believe that larger families offer older adoptees an added "safety net", in terms of extra love and support. I know our younger four are so blessed to have four older sisters who try to come home to attend one of their games or activities now and then. Tonight all but one will be at our sophomores first varsity game as a starter. He said he was nervous about the game tonight. I don't know if it's because he's starting, the state champion team they are playing, or the fact that we will all be there watching! I just know how thankful I am that the younger ones have such support from these sisters who love them so much. Of course we also have our share of squabbles amongst the four teenagers still at home, but for the most part, it's teasing...with an occasional thumping from the older brother upon the younger brother. He loves it, though or he'd quit being the tease he is. They think I can't hear the wrestling matches one floor beneath their room? At least it's good natured...and I've been told "normal". After four girls, it's taken me time to get used to the creatures boys are. Love 'em dearly, though!<br /><br />Enjoy your kids to the max and safe travels home.<br /><br />Nancy in the MidwestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-30001781916400270232010-08-27T08:49:36.548-06:002010-08-27T08:49:36.548-06:00Yeah Dominick!!!!

I wish everyone could carry that song and sentiment in their hearts. My first time at Disneyland was on my honeymoon, decades ago. "Small, Small World" was my favorite then and remains so. The love and joy and unity it inspires touches me with deep yearning. And, so, there is Team LaJoy embodying all that the ride holds out to us. Thank you for sharing the joy and wonder.<br /><br />Tuning into this God-created family is loads better than CNN in the morning.<br /><br />Greetings to Dominick. What a wonderful surprise (although some of us knew ahead of time, that way we could anticipate the arrival). <br /><br />Enjoy, enjoy, and when the time comes to return home, drive safely.<br /><br />Love,<br />LaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
