Always good to have a little friendly competition. You know that song, “Girls just gotta’ have fun?” When we had to spend the night in a hotel on the trip, we always do two rooms: daddy and the boys in one; the girls and I in the other. {Liberty and I in a queen…

Hanging Out in San Francisco

Before time gets away from me, I just had to journal a speck of our trip to San Francisco…. It was really delightful that Abi, Ryan and Finn are there. Elijah loved helping Ryan put together their new vacuum. The big girls {Abi, Emma, S and Liberty and I} were able to go shopping downtown….

We are taking a few days to return home as Jubilee’s ears cannot return to our normal altitude {6700′} quite yet. A dear friend has offered us a place to stay and refresh. We are so thankful! We really laughed when we were in California and saw the “Welcome to Emeryville” “Elevation 22…

Jubilee had her recheck with the surgeon today. He found she still has the infection so he called in a high powered antibiotic that a special pharmacy had to compound just for her. We gave it to her a few minutes ago and she threw it up within seconds. Anyway, we are heading to Kala’s…

Since Surgery

Miss Jubilee has been an awesome patient. And yes, Martha, the surgeon actually gave us some purple wrap for Jubilee’s Chinese baby doll Emmy had bought for her. So when Jubilee was feeling a bit perkier I pretended I was the surgeon and fixed her baby (butter knife and all) and then wrapped her baby’s…

Dumbfounded and sobered. The only two words I could think to put how we felt after talking to the doctor. I know, I know: How can we be dumbfounded when we are children of the Most High God? How can we be dumbfounded when we saw Almighty God provide every, single step of the way…

Sweet Baby Girl….

Jubilee has been in surgery now for about two hours. Seems like time is standing still. Thankful for all the prayers. Emma came with us. The other 7 kids all are at Abi and Ryan’s. I had told Jubilee over and over what was going to happen. She was very peaceful, no doubt the Lord’s…

Jubilee’s Surgery

Today we had a lot of last minute testing to get done for Miss Jubilee. She has been such a trooper. But, no doubt, she understands something is up. I have tried to explain everything as best I can to her. After her second CT scan today, she quickly picked two toys from the…

A Yard Sale for the girls…

Saturday we had a yard sale in an effort to help bring Ruby Grace and Sarah Jane home. {We had been going to have it in a few weeks, but having to head to San Francisco for Jubilee’s surgery, we accelerated the timing.} We truly sold everything that wasn’t nailed down. Having lost our home…
