Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
Some days are easier than others to think about packing up packages. I know that Edric is getting great care, but each package also is a reminder that he is not home yet, and I wonder how many more I will have to pack before he is home and running around the house with his […]
MoreSince we could not be on the other side of the ocean celebrating with Edric and taking part in his Dol (first birthday celebration), we decided to celebrate as a family today. I requested the day off of work and pulled Leighton out of preschool for the day so we could spend it as a […]
MoreApril 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
