Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
I am a wife, mommy, and ER doctor, sometimes all at once and sometimes one at a time.
We had our first week of homeschooling! It was actually last week, and I’m a few days behind getting around to writing this, but super excited about how well it went. I have to be honest and say that I was nervous about how it was going to go and if we were going to […]
MoreMy husband murdered my zucchini plant. Actually my zucchini plants. He said he was tired of picking a gazillion zucchini a day and shredding them and freezing them in our freezer and our freezer was overflowing with shredded zucchini. He said we have enough zucchini to last the next Great Depression. I tried to remind […]
MoreI’m looking forward to actually having something to update everyone about. Right now it’s kind of status quo. We are still waiting. There has been quite a bit of movement in Korea recently, and a number of families that I have met have gotten exit permissions approved and are waiting for court dates. I have […]

MoreI just got Edric’s 9th package mailed off earlier this week to travel with a family this weekend. We got photos of Edric last week and showed him playing with the rings and clutching the photo book that we sent in package #8. He should get this package at the end of August when he […]
MoreHow does one go about the overwhelming task of deciding which curriculum to use? There are about a million different options and about a billion opinions about why one is better than the other, what should be done each year, what is not good about a certain program etc etc etc. It can be a […]
MoreLeighton turned 5 a couple of weeks ago. We decided to go on a hike on his actual birthday as a family. We did one for his 1st and 2nd but missed #3 and 4. We had initially planned to go on one of our favorite hikes up in Rocky Mountain National Park, but with […]
