Could He be Yours?

A family is needed for a little bi-racial treasure. He was just born on May 28th. His caregivers are working to get more medical information, but it would appear that he has very little brain stem and/or possibly hydrocephalus {what our Ruby has}. The blessed family of this little boy should be prepared for severe…

They Are On Their Way….

I was able to drop them off at Phoenix Sky Harbor. So sweet to now live near a major international airport! If you sent a backpack, guess which piece of luggage it might be in? Or how about a snack bag?  There is just about 500 lbs of goodies on that cart {alone}headin’ toward Uganda….

Speaking of Weddings….

Speaking of weddings… Last week when we were in Colorado for Autumn’s bridal shower,  Dw had the privilege of doing a wedding for a sweet young orphan loving couple named Jessie and Courtney. They had been to Uganda on a GO Team with Emmy and Dw and Jessie  actually proposed on that trip!  He got…

Her Dream Is Coming True

All Autumn ever wanted, from the time she was bite-sized was to be married and have babies.  I remember living in Virginia Beach {while Dw was in seminary} and she had just turned two years old and would ask me daily if we could go to the mall to look at the pregnant ladies.  Daily….

It’s Not Really About the Picnic

Although picnics with friends and family have been planned across our nation today, it’s not really about the picnic… Today is a day that was set aside to honor those who chose to sacrifice  their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. Sadly in backyards, parks and homes across America,  family and friends will gather…

The Final Chapter

Yesterday Dw, the kids, the dogs and I packed up to head to Colorado. We barely stopped and had a lot of fun laughing and reminiscing.   A sweet trip over all. Little Miss Ruby did wonderful and was awake  {with the exception of a 20 minute nap} the entire trip. We are checking her…
