World, meet William.


I am lucky to have a family of four children living next door. Ever since they adopted William from Ukraine, I've done a complete 180 in my interest with children. And now, I want four as well. He has curly blonde hair and eyes the color of the most bluest ocean on earth. He's still working on his English and every now and again it's mostly garble and a lot of Ukrainian words that we aren't familiar with. This afternoon, he came over for a quick neighborly "chat" and proceeded to mumble and pantomime the fact that there is no sun outside and what seemed to be the idea that his shirt is better than mine. But I couldn't be positive on that one. He giggled, his bright blue eyes sparkled, and then ran back to his yard to throw a ball around. It was one of those moments people point to when asked why they want children.
