Wow, it’s actually his 15th if you include the birthday and the Christmas ones we’ve sent. I’m ready to have my little boy home and not sending packages in zip lock baggies (even though I am SOOO thankful for the families that take them over for me when they go to meet their little ones). […]

Running with Kids

I enjoy running. For me it is a release and a chance for my body to work out and get over what my mind has been dwelling on and worrying about. It’s a good way to work through emotions and often after a run my perspective has changed even without spending the run thinking through […]

Edric’s Christmas Package

Twice a year we get to send a big package to Edric JoonSoo, at his birthday and at Christmas. I’ve gotten quite good at stuffing things into a zip lock baggie, so I was ready to stuff a box full of stuff for our little guy. Boxes are much easier to pack clothes in, especially […]

Adventures Abound…

Edric’s 12 Package

I sent Edric’s package at the end of November but because he visited the agency a few days before the end of the month he won’t actually get it until he goes in this month. We were finally able to include the last two pieces to his tool set. He now has a complete set! […]

Armstrong Christmas Letter 2014

So yeah. I have a number of beautiful Christmas cards hung around my fire place and have read a number of sweet Christmas letters that have made me smile, but alas we are a week from Christmas and I haven’t made or sent mine out yet. I think this makes at least 2 years in […]

Homeschool Adventure Continues

Wow we are 16 weeks into this crazy adventure otherwise known as homeschooling. And it’s going really well. I’m loving the time we get to spend as a family and we’ve fallen into a pretty good routine. I was worried about Caedmon and what to do with a 2 year old while I tried to […]

Ladybugs in December

So I had promised not to make every post about a specific month, and I’ve included a couple this week that are not month specific, but here I am again. This started out as a simple question while making lunch for the boys a couple of days ago. I was really planning on much of […]
