Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
I 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 […]
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 […]
MoreThere have been a couple of recent articles about the lack of movement with kids today. http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2014/07/let-em-out-the-many-benefits-of-outdoor-play-in-kindergarten/ and http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2014/07/08/why-so-many-kids-cant-sit-still-in-school-today I think they are very interesting. We are doing such a disservice to our kids today, and its sad. Not only are we affecting their concentration but their core strength. I’m not sure when we became […]
More5 years old! It has been such an amazing journey and so much fun to watch Leighton grow from being such a tiny preemie to the confident and fun little boy. He’s got a smile that will light up a room and a hug that will melt any heart. He is sweet and kind and […]

So whenever there is an opportunity to have a little time with just Caedmon I try and take it. We had such an opportunity last week while Leighton was […]
MoreHas it really already been 8 packages? Wow. I’m getting quite good at stuffing things in a zip lock baggie. Sometimes I worry if I am sending the right things or if he likes them or if I am running out of ideas to send. However I got Edric’s 14 month photos last week and […]
MoreDear Sweet Edric- Hey little guy. You are growing and growing. I loved seeing your smile and your face light up in the last set of photos we got. I can only imagine the giggles that you had as well. I have to be honest. As much as I love photo day and love getting […]
MoreSo I’m a little behind. I actually sent this package with a friend at the end of May and I am now just getting around to writing about it. However, he gets the packages when he goes into the center each month around the 30th, so I’m only really a day late in posting this […]
MoreWe got our photos of Edric’s first birthday with him all dressed up in his traditional Hanbok. As I’ve mentioned before the first birthday is a big deal in Korea and there is a very formal ceremony that takes place. The ceremony and celebration is known as a Dol. As part of the ceremony the […]
MoreI’m pretty sure that water does not have magnetic properties; however my boys cannot stay away from it. It is that time of year where my back porch is dotted with various items of clothing all in different stages of drying. I have yet to just give up the fight and start the boys each […]
