Here is a photo of the twins when they

were three years old. I think they look the same, only gotten taller and thinner and more beautiful.

Sweet Beautiful Savannah and Elijah and Suri with her Mamamama, like granddaughter like grandma. They both love books and here they are buying more to add to mamamama 10,000 book library.

Since I'm working on a book, I've decided to start blogging some of my information on here on the days I'm not too busy. I will be blogging about everything from children to childbirth to C sections, since I' underwent 12 of them, foreign adoptions and fertility treatment.

What is In vitro Fertilization?

Today, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is practically a household word. But not so long ago, it was a mysterious procedure for infertility that produced what were then known as "test-tube babies." Louise Brown, born in England in 1978, was the first such baby to be conceived outside her mother's womb.

Unlike the simpler process of artificial Insemmination-- in which sperm is placed in the uterus and conception precedes otherwise normally -- IVF involves combining eggs and sperm outside the body in a laboratory. Once an embryo or embryos form, they are then placed in the uterus. IVF is a complex and expensive procedure; only about 5% of couples with infertility seek it out. However, since its introduction in the U.S. in 1981, IVF and other similar techniques have resulted in more than 200,000 babies.

I'm the proud mom of 13 children; eight sons and five daughters; five children through science including a set of boy/girl twins who started out as triplets and a set of fraternal twin boys born two separate years, meaning they were conceived at the same time. Luke was implanted and his brother Levi was frozen. Later, Levi was thawed and transferred and became the fraternal twin to Luke. "It does depend how you interpret the term twins" - twins generally mean that they are born at the same time like Seth and Sienna. But, yes, twins in that Luke and Levi have come from the same batch of embryos, collected from the same IVF Treatment Cycle, so twins born at a different time but not a twin pregnancy, when they have grown in the womb together; fraternal twins and they look more alike each day.
The boys have triplets who are still frozen and hopefully they will join the children soon. We have one child adopted from an orphanage in Russia. A bulbous mass resembling a second head swelled on his lower back, his legs were paralyzed and he sufferd from a double hernia.

Russian doctors had given up on him, having neither the money nor expertise to correct his condition. Nikolai was gradually starved at his overcrowed orphanage because the Russian thought he would never live a normal life. His little body was infected with bed sores and flies and mosquitos swarming all around his little crib. He also weighed a skeletal of 14 lbs. He was injected with narcotics to keep him from crying and just laid there just waiting to die.

God works miracles

Nikolai was abandoned and left to die and was in the worst shape you can imagine. Today, he's a healthy young man who is pursuing a career as a Computer Software Engineer and he's writing a book and getting ready to create his own YouTube Channel. He keeps our lawn mowed and does all sorts of chores around the house including volunteer work.

Here is a book I encourage everyone to read. Its about a little boy who was in

the same orphanage as Nikolai and they were in a similar situation In his book he tells about the abused and sufferings he went through. He is now living in Pennsylvania and is doing really well. He also appeared on Dateline several months ago.

We also have several children

in heaven whom we consider our Guardian Angels and we are looking forward to meeting them some day. I'm the Mama Mama to five gorgeous grandchildren. My family owns two insurance companies where four of the children are employed and are also college grads. Two of the children are Licensed Agents. I started my own business SEBA in 1998 and was certified in Medication Management, CPR and Child Development; also graduated from LU and LU Biblical Studies. In 1999, I was crowned Mrs. Campbell County International and traveled throughout VA representing the Special Olympics. I am also a Notary Public, Research Analyst, children's book author and a homeschool teacher and I'm working on getting my second black belt.

I gave up my Seba Business and added five more children to the eight in 2006. I can tell you through experience that nothing has been so rewarding and fulfilling as being a mother especially to 13 wonderful children, 5 grandchildren and 3 God children, and counting. Savannah told us the other day she was going to try for six or eight. People can have their nice jobs, their new cars, their vacations, their money, take mission trips and everything they want. They can brag to no end about the things they've done or going to do but none of this means a thing to me because I feel like I'm the luckiest woman in the world and the happiest just living with my wonderful family in the country and not having any worries in the world.

Yes I am planning on having another baby. What else would I do with my precious frozen Angels I think about every day? They are alive and are humans as are my embryos in the past that didn't make it.

We are also looking into Chinese Adoption. My other goal is to be a motivational speaker helping other women who are going through infertility and hope to get a big book deal soon.

Strong Self Esteem is one of the most important characteristic a human being can have to face the world today and I thank God for my strong self esteem children who never boast about their accomplishments and all are doing really well in life.

Strong Self Esteem is one of the most important characteristic a human being can have to face the world today quote from Dr. Joyce Brothers and one thing we can say about these kids, they have the strongest self esteem thanks to their training.

Here is the website of their school They are also on facebook FEKS Karate.http://www.mma4lynchburg.com/

We are so proud of Seth, Sienna and Noah for working so hard and passing all the requirements in getting their next belt. One of the Instructors told my mom that he sees three future Karate Teachers. Hopefully the twins will have their Junior black belt in 2014 but they're not planning on quitting because they will go all the way to the top for an Adult Black belt and then they will be able to teach at the school. Luke and Levi are planning on joining the three when they get three years old. My mom's goal is to see every family member with a fifth black belt degree.

Seth, Sienna and Noah were promoted to their next belt, blue Eaglet belt for Noah and an orange Junior for Sienna and Seth This was Sienna and Seth 12th belt and Noah's .5th.. More pictures and videos of both classes will come very soon
