Just a little something…

Thanks for your patience. Not much has changed we are still waiting. I should say that the kids are LOVING school and both recently got awards for the spirit of cooperation and leadership in their classes. We were very proud!! Of course, I forgot my camera so you will just have to take my [...]

The Freedom of Christmas

I have a confession. Because of Facebook I am running into alot of people that I used to know in high school and college. This is great and I love it…but I have to say that it poses somewhat of a problem for me. You see, I am not the same person I was back [...]

Let it snow

Here in the NW it snowed, rained and then snowed some more. I love it!! Aside from the fact that my in- laws are delayed from coming for a few days…I could not be happier. Trevis has had plenty of exercise running up and down hills for sled runs with the kids and I get [...]

A bit of comic relief

This blog has been a bit serious lately and I am not a very serious person. So I decided to lighten things up just a bit. Below is an old post I am bring back to life because 1. there is no time to write a new post and 2. lots of us are dealing [...]

Don’t Waste Your Wait..

Waiting is sort of the theme of our lives these days. Adoption is all about waiting. Emotions have run high and low and pending on the hour, we may be doing well with the wait or not doing well at all. However about 2 weeks ago, I was inspired by an article written by John [...]

Surviving the football binge

It is that time of year when football really matters (as if it hasn’t all fall but anyway). Teams are being picked by the BCS for bowl games and this is a BIG deal. Husbands may be a little distracted lately. I know that can be hard. Especially when there is alot to do. So, [...]

Just HAD to share!

I am an avid reader but I usually have not really loved reading “theological” books. I have tried…but to no  avail. I have read the first page of C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity about 60 times and started to read Piper’s Desiring God about 12 and each time I put them down feeling like I need [...]

Help ~I need soup!

Ok!! I need some serious help!! I have only 2 soup recipes: Taco and Potato. Fall is here and I would love to be able to make a yummy soup. Not to mention that my husband loves to invite tons of people over “spur of the moment” for football games or just to hang out. [...]

Trees, Rain and Jesus

Ok we have 2 trees that need a bit of tiding..to say the least. Anyway, I called our local Tree Trimmer for an appointment to come and give us a quote. So the nice gentleman comes at 3:30 this afternoon. When he comes to the door he is fully decked out in winter gear. I open [...]

Love in a box..

Today we mailed a small gift to our baby boy who is waiting for his forever home. It is some comfort that he will have his own special blanket (that his sisters picked out because it says “LOVE YOU” on it) and a little blue bear from his brother. I did send [...]
