#olimpiadoyle

Dear diary,

We have been blessed with yet another little girl. We named her Olimpia Fulvia Doyle, named after Olimpia Fulvia Morata. We now have 16 childeren, 7 boys and 9 girls. We feel so incredible blessed with our childeren, each and every one of them is so special to us.

In the meantime, my son Benjamin is engaged with his girlfriend Mary Crawley. We are thrilled for them but I'm also very relived that they are getting married and nothing bad has happend. A woman wearing pants isn't something to joke about. I'm hoping Benjamin will change her mind and she will stop wearing them.

Love, Elianna

Dear diary,

We have a new kitchen! I'm very thrilled. My old kitchen was very simple and just the basics that you need. Now it's much better. I'm enjoying cooking even more now.

Old above, new below.

And I'm still enjoying our new piano so much. We bought it after the last renovation of our home and since then I'm able to play again and teach my childeren. They are so happy to be able to choose between the violin, the guitar and the piano.

Love, Elianna

Dear diary,

My daughter Olimpia is already turning into one cute little toddler. He both love and fear the toddlerfase. They are so cute as toddlers but also a handful.

She was a bit sad and in tears in all the crowed of her birthday. She was happy soon after with a hug from her mom.

Sometimes at night I look at the sky and wonder about life. I'm only 36 years old but my life has changed so much for the past 16 years. I know so well when I was living at home with my parents, brothers and sisters. Now I'm living in a beautiful big house with my husband and 16 childeren. I feel so blessed.

We sure had our downs over the years, worrying about money or our childeren's future but I know it all comes down to one thing, trusting the Lord. When I look at the sky, all the starts, I'm once again reminded that he is the most powerful thing on earth.
