My blog about parenting biological and adopted kids, some with everyday kid issues and some with much more serious medical/behavioral issues. I don't care if anyone else ever reads this, my main purpose is for me to have somewhere to vent some of my thoughts, frustrations and successes. If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not. My kids are everything to me, I love them more than anything, but sometimes I just need to let it all out!

I love that first one. We don't have any fancy water displays where I live.
I love the first one, too. Where is that??
That fountain was gorgeous and so relaxing. I sat by it for over an hour and read a book. Even though it was hot out, sitting by the water, it was almost chilly.
It was at the Taco Bell building in Irvine, right next to the Embassy Suites we were staying at. It was one of the prettiest fountains I've ever seen.
