Last Friday, Dw arrived home from Uganda. A few days earlier Savannah had texted me a few days before asking if she could pick him up as she was on her way over to swim with some little ones she would be babysitting. So on Friday afternoon they texted to say they were almost home….

My sweet neighbor, whom I have mentioned before, rang the bell this morning. She had been to her mailbox to get yesterday’s mail and our mail was in hers! I glanced as she handed me the stack and on the top I saw the long-awaited envelope!! I squealed with joy!! As I tore it open…

We Didn’t Know We Would…

Once-upon-a-time I didn’t really know anyone up close with Cerebral Palsy. In fact I remember, years ago, getting confused about the difference between Muscular Dystrophy and Cerebral Palsy. I didn’t really ever think about having a child with CP. And if someone had asked me if I thought that one day we would…

It’s Time for a Change

So I consider myself a fairly healthy eater. I love eating vegetables and salads. I’m not much of a meat either, which depending on who you’re talking could be a good thing. But I have a dark secret. I am addicted to chocolate and sugar. Like seriously addicted. I know it really is an addiction…

Dw’s in Africa for a couple of weeks and the kids and I are holding down the fort. He banned me from painting {such a party-pooper} so instead I’ve been doing another project idea I had. *smile* Boy-oh-boy-oh-boy will he ever be surprised. Graham and Savannah stopped over today and the kids couldn’t wait to…

Check out these pictures!! Do you see the delight on her face? And look at his pleased grin!! He’s swimming!! And how about this little girl’s kinda’ worried expression – She looks like she’s asking her fully clothed friend, “Ummm, are you gonna’ be okay?” And how about this little patriotic missy and these bubbles!!!…

Friday evening Savannah texted me and asked what we were doing. The Bossman and I were actually driving toward church where we had been invited to a sweet meeting!! She was wondering if Liberty and I would want to go to see War Room with her at 9pm? (She even treated us!) Perfect! I…

For All The Nehemiahs Out There…

In the last three years I have cried on many, many occasions as I’ve talked to the Lord, to Dw and to others asking, “How many Nehemiahs are there out there? Sweet, easy-going, caring, loving, and kind – just longing for a family. How many?” Young boys and girls just praying for a family of…

Oh friends!! I love the story I am about to share because of all the healing it holds. There is such power in this very personal story which, over the years, I have told our children dozens and dozens of times. As I begin to type it out, I actually feel giddy. It’s such…

Woot! Woot! They’re Finally Admitting It!

People seem to ask us fairly regularly, “Where do you get all your energy from?” Our typical response is to laugh and say, “Well look at our pile!! We’re having a blast – for real! And we’re pretty sure they keep us young!” Just in case anyone thinks I’m kidding when I say that having…
