    Rhodes to Anywhere – Here We Go!

    Dear Family and Friends, A while back we decided to change the name of our family blog from “Fingerprints on My Walls” to “Rhodes to Anywhere.” We did this because we wanted to talk more about being a Family on Mission and what being a Family on Mission might look like—using both our family’s successes…

  • What you’ve missed

    Oh my.  Yes it has been that long.  So instead of taking a month to blog about it, here is what you have missed… We are full on in camp.  Dave is with Student Life this week and Rush of Fools at Wake Forest University.  I’m wishing I was there.  Emma’s with him.  I don’t…

  • What are you doing today?

    It snowed here last night.  I grew up in the North so I really forget the impact it has on the little ones.  7am this morning and they were begging to get outside.  Emma is still out there.  We have not had a snow like this in SC for a long time.  It’s going to…

  • Someone’s Missing

    We had a fun night last night.  The girls and I went with G-ma and Kayleigh to walk around the mall.  It’s been a LONG time since I’ve stepped foot inside a mall with girls in tote.  They were wonderful and the best thing is that we walked out with nothing and everyone was happy.   But…

  • I have a lot to catch up on. Here are a few bullets that all deserve a post here soon.  – We have been in Florida this weekend. Dave’s parents are moving to Spartanburg, SC.  Yes that is correct.  His dad is coming on staff at Spartanburg Community Church.  Today was his last Sunday in…

  • We Could Use Your Help

    Many of you have been following our adoption journey on my blog or on Frankies site and know that we are about to be sending our dossier to Haiti in the next week.  Sending that dossier is the first major step in our financial commitment to bring Frankie to our home.  In trying to meet that…
