A reminder
I was looking through Jude’s China pictures the other day and was amazed at how much his feet have changed! I’d sort of forgotten how bad they were and how difficult it was for him to stand. In light of my most recent post, I thought I’d post a picture I took of Jude’s feet in China. Amazing how much… Read More
Wonderful news!!
I know. You’re disappointed. There was no Meal Plan Monday. I do have a good reason. Jude and I headed back up to Iowa City to the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital for Jude’s 3 month recheck. We have been very consistent with his boots and bar, but nonetheless, there is always a tiny percent of children with clubfoot who… Read More
Sophie ~ the day after
Sophie is one tough chick. She fell asleep on the way home from the dentist yesterday, content with the pages of stickers she was given as a ‘prize’ and her trusty pink pillow. Nary a peep out of her on the 1 1/2 hour drive home. Once we got home she was happy with her new DVD, Max and Ruby’s… Read More
Take a moment to listen
I watched this over at Our Forever Family and it made me cry, too! A beautiful reminder to cherish the present with our precious children. One day they will be gone.
Please pray for Sophie * UPDATE*
We’re home. She did great and we are so happy to be done! Actually, I’m happy she’s done, she’s just happy to be home watching a new Max and Ruby DVD 🙂 Thank you SO much for your prayers!! Today is the big day. We had scheduled her fillings and crowns for December, but yesterday the pediatric dentist called with… Read More
Meal Plan Monday
Okay, so it’s Tuesday… which means it’s time for Menu Plan Monday, right? So sorry, Kelley, I know this drives you nuts!! I was going to try to post it last night, just to calm your OCD streak, but I laid down to get Jude to sleep and never got back up 🙂 Monday: Breakfast dinner (scrambled eggs, sausage and… Read More
Lookie what we got!
A friend of mine is making this darling outfit as a fundraiser for her adoption. I saw a picture on her blog and just knew my girls would look darling in it… and boy, was I right! I LOVE it, it’s absolutely adorable. Fits Sophie perfectly, Desiree! The top can be worn by itself as a dress, or with the… Read More
When left to their own devices…
I was trying to get some paperwork done the other day (I always have paperwork that needs to be done) the girls were quietly, well, at least happily, playing in their room. Then they started running out with additional dress up pieces they wanted my help in donning. Can you say, a little is good and more does not necessarily… Read More
