Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
This whole adoption thing is a whole new process and adventure. And unpredictable and not exactly laid out or logical. With giving birth there is a pretty set timeline. The baby arrives in about 9 months give or take and then you stay in the hospital for a couple days or a few more, and […]
MoreThat’s pretty much how I felt during our Christmas Eve service last week. Like an octopus. Out of water. I love going to the Christmas Eve service every year. We go every week but there is always something special about Christmas Eve that I look forward to all December long. This year was no different. […]
MoreWhat would you do if you could only send your loved one a package that fits inside a gallon zip lock baggie every couple of months or so? The first thing I did was wish that the gallon baggies were bigger! But alas, that is how we will send things to Edric until we can […]

MoreDear Little One- It is cold outside today. There is fresh fallen snow on the ground and the air is brisk and I can see my breath when I breathe. When the temperature warms up above 10 degrees or so in the next couple of days we’ll head outside and build a snowman and snow […]
