A Saturday Story – Just for Some Fun

Jubilee seemed better this morning, all things considered. But right now is a different story. She wants me to call the doctor. And although that won’t do anything, she doesn’t understand that. The pain is just rough and seems to come in waves. Ugh. At least there was some improvement this morning, which would mean…

For Almost 5 Years I’ve Waited and Wondered…

Last week was a wash….trying to get caught up after being gone a month as well as getting prepared for one of our treasures to have some extensive surgery this week. But in the midst of it all, I have some really joyous news to share!! For those who have read Rescuing Ruby, you understand…

Two Amazing Not to Share!!

Not sure what the deal is, but my eyes have been leaking all day long. Seriously, I can’t talk without my voice cracking and the tears dripping. What in the world? And then I saw my friend Megan’s adoption video. Megan and I just hung out talking a few weeks ago while we were in…

Our New Friend – Nick Vujicic

Being the mom of several “involved” special needs treasures I often pray that I can discern what they are feeling. Life is tricky, no doubt. But when your struggles seem apparent to everyone, it might just feel a little trickier. So I pray a lot. And we talk. A lot. Then we pray. And…

Yesterday our Nehemiah turned 13!! Can you believe it?? We can’t!! As I sat down to begin to write this post yesterday, I was overwhelmed with a flood of emotions. To think that he was over 9 years old before he came home to us is almost unbearable to Dw and I. Nee has told…

How Birdie Got Her Name

Many people have asked how Birdie got her name that I’m guessin’ it’s time…. [Lucy! Lucy! You’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do!] It’s simple. Shortly after coming home we noticed that anytime anyone had food, little Miss would scoot over and quietly position herself as close as possible. Birdie does not nudge, push, whine or…

Big Events for Everyone….

There’s big some mighty big events in our family lately…On Saturday Dw asked me when Ruby lost her tooth. I thought he was kidding. He wasn’t. It was the bottom that was gone and I couldn’t believe it! It had been there the night before when I brushed her teeth. Both top are loose and…

Celebrating with a Giveaway!!

One week ago just about now, I posted advocating for a family for Cai. I asked if you all would help me. From my Facebook post, I can see that it was shared 61 times!! And because of privacy settings my guess is that it was, perhaps, even shared more. I am overjoyed to tears…

Pretty Sure It Went Something Like This

Don’t you love those dog movies where the dogs “talk”? You know, like the old “Homeward Bound”? They always just kinda’ make us all laugh. So with that in mind…maybe you need a pick-me-up today. The other day we set our two little jewels down to take some pictures in their matching sundresses and captured…

Rolling Ahead of Us

Often we are asked how we manage to provide for our large family and the many needs. On paper, it clearly doesn’t make any sense. But God loves the orphan and when we commit to caring for one, He uses any means He wants to meet each need. Most often He uses others to…
