Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
I am a wife, mommy, and ER doctor, sometimes all at once and sometimes one at a time.
April 30, 2013 is when my little boy was born. I was half a world away and not aware that he had arrived. I had been praying for him and his birth mom for months, knowing that he was probably going to be born at anytime and praying for her strength and health throughout that […]
MoreSo this is a day late. But things are growing and our garden is getting ready for the plants to get planted in them. It was a busy week getting the yard ready for summer and the garden ready for planting. First off, remember the garden in the front that we have been re-doing? Well […]
MoreIt was 12 years ago tonight that I had my first date with the guy that I would one day say “I do” to. (and first kiss, but that’s jumping too far ahead). I’m sure if there was a ranking of most “romantic” dates ever, ours definitely would have topped it. I mean, come on, […]
MoreThe noise level in our house has been a little louder today. We are having one of Leighton’s little friend from preschool stay the night tonight as his mom is at a conference and dad is having lots of work to do. It has been a fun afternoon/evening so far. They have been playing great […]
MoreThere are days, and granted they are few and far between, but they do exist every now and then, where I think “I am awesome, I have this mom stuff down”. Today started out that way. (started out being the key phrase…) Clint had early morning Bible study and I woke up early, had […]

MoreSometimes this adoption stuff and the wait is harder than I imagined or planned on it to be. With both my other boys, I had a rough idea of when they would make their appearance. Granted Leighton decided to throw us for a little surprise and show up early and we took a detour though […]
MoreDear Sweet Edric, Spring is beginning to sprout all around us and I am praying that you will be with us this time next year to see and enjoy all the colors and blooms as they explode all around. I have heard from families that are traveling to Seoul right now that the cherry trees […]
MoreI waged war tonight. Usually one does not think of gardening as a violent pass-time, but tonight, I was a force to be reckoned with. And I would not walk away with defeat. What is this terrible foe that is threatening me? An April snowstorm has me in its sights and I will not be […]
MoreWaiting is never something anyone likes to do, especially me. Even if it is something that I know is going to be unpleasant I almost want to stop the waiting and get going on whatever it is so I can get it behind me. Lately I’ve felt caught between two desires. I want to soak […]
