I got to hold my new niece, Lila Grace, today...2 weeks old!!!
So, so precious!
Hypothetical question: Do I look too old to have one this little (again)?
Just wonderin'....... ;o)

About Me
- Dardi
- I am blessed to be married to the love of my life, Joe, who also happens to be my best friend. Together, we co-founded Hope 4 The Wounded Educational Seminars in which Joe provides training on working with wounded children. I am the mother of nine...five conceived in my belly, four conceived in my heart. We have journeyed to our "heart children" by way of foster care, Ethiopia, US domestic, & China. I am seeking His will every day in this walk of faith that is my life. I hope 4 the wounded of this world...especially the children, but also you & me. It's an imperfect world, I'm an imperfect person, but I'm on this journey that God has blessed me with, so if you'd like to join me, I'd be honored to call you "friend".

Nooooo, you are absolutely young enough. Just look at Michelle Duggar who is STILL going strong :)
First, you are gorgeous as always and second, whatever God's will in blessing you, you'd look great with another little one...they keep you young ;)
Love,
Christie
thank you so much for visiting my blog! Thank you also for the encouragement ... some days of waiting are just harder than others. :0) but we are truckin right along waitin on "our day". p.s. you look amazing holding that little one! :0)
You look perfect with that baby. A look that says, "I still have it in me." ;)
Dardi - Godspeed ..........
Ummm, I'd say you've "still got it going!"
PERFECT. You look PERFECT holding that baby. If I get to vote I say GO FOR IT. :0)
No!!! You look amazing!!!
Are you trying to tell us something????
:)
Not too old at all! I am so VERY blessed by the children I had (and those I adopted) when my peers were beginning to celebrate their "empty nests". I see no need for an empty nest. I don't want my "babies" to leave home until I have a boatload of grandkids to keep me busy.
If I didn't have a little 8 year old that struggles with RAD, I'm sure my arms would be ready for another little one.
:) :) :)
