I know! I have been… well, NOT here! And not on my usual blog patrol either. Sorry I just haven’t had time to check in with everyone, I am missing you guys. It’s gone from crazy to absolutely insane around here. So much stuff (good stuff but big stuff) coming up. I’ve started my own little countdown…. TWO days until… Read More
If you don’t believe
If you don’t believe that God is at work, you should now. Have you visited Joe and Jen’s site to see their total funds raised? They were able to raise not only her initial ‘goal’ of $500… but that goal THREE TIMES OVER. That’s right, Jen’s fundraiser raised over $1800. That’s enough for 24 new, safe cribs. Or 150 warm,… Read More

Coats and Cribs for Kids
If you’ve been following our family for a while, you know that Jen from myadoptionwebsite and I go way back. At least in bloggy terminology. By way back I mean like early 2005. Joe and Jen hosted our journey to Isabelle… we were one of their very first clients. Now they are such a staple in the adoption community, it’s… Read More
Some you win, others you don’t
Can you believe the incredible total over at MckMama’s blog? Over $10,000 has been raised to benefit String of Pearls, the ELISON project and No Hands But Ours. Incredible. And there is one more week to go, the fundraiser ends December 14 so if you haven’t ventured over there to see what all the hoopla is about, you should 🙂… Read More
Day in the woods
I am currently taking a photography course taught by Christi from Rawsii. And I am truly enjoying it, especially when my eyes aren’t bleeding from having to read and comprehend in order to actually learn something. That is, something that requires more contemplation than a 3-ingredient dinner recipe. Or 3rd grade math. (I can do both of those.)We have twice… Read More

"D"
Dalton turned 7 today. He was born at 5:53 in the morning after my OB told me to try to hurry, she needed to get her son to school on time. I kid you not. Slow down on the bedside manner, lady. But nothing she might have said could have stolen one ounce of joy that surrounded us in that… Read More
Passport drama
Monday night I was talking on the phone to my sister, discussing our travel plans to China next month** and I ran upstairs to get my passport from it’s very snug little spot in our lock box. Lock box. I like that term, it makes me laugh. Anyway, I came down with my little prize and gave my sis the… Read More
Not. Enough. Time.
This year we celebrated our 8th Thanksgiving with some of our very best friends in the world. Lisa and I met at a Thanksgiving potluck, way back in 2000. I’m guessing that the feasting on gobs of food year after year has helped to cement what has become a fantastic friendship. Chenoa and I met at a party that same… Read More
