Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
It 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 […]
MoreHappy Earth Week! Earth Day is actually on Tuesday April 22nd, so go and plant something this week and make the world a little more beautiful. Besides a little mud on one’s fingers always feels good. How did my tree and plants do with the snow and cold? My buckets and crazy covering of […]
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 […]
MoreI know we are already a week into April, but I was out of internet range and connection last week, so for me the month is still just beginning. And I’m glad it’s April. I don’t have anything bad against March, but man this past March was rough. And it wasn’t just one thing…it […]
MoreWe’ve entered a new stage at our house. We’ve passed through push toys, train sets, tonka trucks, Duplo blocks, and entered into Nerf Guns. It wasn’t by accident, I knew this day was coming, it was just a matter of time. Or marbles actually. We got (actually stole) an idea from the kindergarten class that […]
