Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
I’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 […]
MoreI’m not exactly sure how or why it happened, but last spring we had a Robin that visited our yard frequently. Actually he or she visited our strawberry bed frequently because we didn’t have bird netting on it he/she ate all our strawberries. It was most likely not one single robin but a number of […]
MoreSome 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 […]

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 […]
