My Dad
Words are sorely inadequate at expressing all that transpired these past few days. On Monday I had the privilege of flying to Buffalo to celebrate with my brother, cousins and a few friends my dad’s 90th birthday. Although I have not really talked much about my birth family today I just have to share about…
A New Season Begins
So I have three posts I’m working on….oh me….the ever-lovin’ frustrations of being a writer! But in the meantime, we have a new season that has begun over here! How could I let this special event pass without a sweet post just for precious her? It seems like it was just yesterday, literally, that a…
It Had To Be the Onesies
Christmas Eve and Christmas 2017 will forever go down in our family history as probably one of the rowdiest, funnest, craziest ever! The memories made were absolutely priceless! I’d dreamed for forever of having matching onesies and jammies and this was the year! Of course the men in our lives were less than gung-ho (or…
No Room and No Extra Time

Treasures, Sibs and Grands

I cannot praise Him enough through weepy eyes! He has done great things and a week with the grands was just that – GRAND! (Albeit way, way,…
We Could Have….
What a beautiful week in Arizona!! The weather (for those who prefer the cooler) is just now beginning to cool. It makes me smile. This Buffalo-grown girl loves that it’s just now turning from sleeveless-to-short sleeve weather and we’re already well into November. I think it was 1978, Dw was in law school and it…
Couldn’t Take it Any Longer
Monumental Changes For Our Family
Our family has two very personal history-making changes this very week!! First, a few posts back, while telling the story of our van, I mentioned that Dw has been Uber driving. This hubby of mine works long hours pouring into our ministry International Voice of the Orphan (IVO) and I’m super thrilled to report that IVO…
