This is how we became 'The Brady Bunch'


To say that things have been busy around here would be the understatement of the year.  And it goes without saying that God has been with us, He has been our strength now, and forever more. He is how we have gotten through this crazy and busy time of our lives. 

As many of you know we live in an old childrens home/hostel.  We love the place and the space etc. 
Well, you have a big place and guess what?  You inherit extra kids!  I have always said I do little people (the requirement is they have to be shorter than me).  Well through a series of events we have ended up with 3 extra TEENAGERS.  Yes, start humming the Brady Bunch theme song.  The kids are great kids.  We love having them.  There are times where Chad and I look at each other and say, "how in the world are we doing this, with both of us have full time jobs and not having any more house help then we did before?” With other hostels that are open they have full time haus merris to do laundry and clean etc.  Well, since we aren’t technically a hostel in the system, I just have a haus merrie 1 day a week.
