Wiggle, Jiggle, Snore Cow Moo. That is the title of the book Emma wrote a few weeks ago.  She came home from school one day earlier this month and proceeded to sit on the kitchen counter working on a masterpiece!  At one point she came and asked for a stapler.  I was occupied with getting some…

Till Dave and I are in Haiti and spending some time with Frankie!  Can’t wait! I guess that means I better get my game plan together for who is watching the girls while we are gone.  That probably would be a good thing to do.  Any takers?

Today was a great day.  Woke up in NC to a pot of coffee brewing and then to breakfast made for us by my sweet sister-in-law and brother-in-law.  I’m sitting in the back seat of the car between my 2 girls heading to a museum in Raleigh. (did you know that all of them here…

Came downstairs today to find this.  Looks like she is following in her mothers footsteps!  But maybe she’ll decide to actually teach once she goes ahead and gets her degree! Thankful for our amazing public but oh so private like school and it’s teachers who are investing so much into Emma’s life.

This past week I did something crazy.  Something that I should not have done.  We got home late one night and Emma was asking if she could get her hair cut shorter.  It’s been getting a bit long and a bit stringy looking.  So I told her to head to the back porch and I…

What a climb it has been.  Or I mean run.  I have Hannah Montana AKA Miley running through my head.  I am dreading heading to bed since the morning brings with it the dreaded run.  All 9 miles of it.  Why am I doing this to myself?  I do know.  It’s the journey of friendship…

We receive a monthly email from Heartline.  The ministry that one aspect of it takes care of Maranatha  Childrens Home.  This month they featured info about Maranatha.  So many of you have asked me about Frankie and when I tell you how long the wait has been and will be… I always follow that with the comment…

Today our church had a time in the service for prayer for families who have adopted and are adopting.  The crowd is growing.  Love it.  This morning we asked Emma if she wanted to stand with us.  She wanted to.  Funny thing is that after church we had a few people stop us and tell…
