Here it is the day after Christmas. We are completely snowed in and await our turn for the plowman to show up so we can be dug out. We were supposed to go to a Barn Party, complete with Square Dance, but that just isn’t possible. The drifts are about 3 feet high and the…

The little ones were up at 5:15 am for the day **yawn** As I got them up for breakfast I kept telling them that it was Jesus’ birthday and today we would have lots of fun. They didn’t get it, but not to worry – when everyone else got up 2 hours later they caught…

If my friends thought I was a tad behind before, well the world of two in diapers (again!) and little people who are discovering new things and afraid of many things….”behind” is all relative I guess. Our little log home is completely buried in snow as it snowed and snowed all day yesterday. We are…

These last few weeks my heart has had a heavy place in it. This past year two very precious people we know went to be with Jesus. Many of you remember me mentioning, Brian, a tender-hearted man of God – lover of the orphan and widow. Along with his wife, Cecelia, they were one of…

Several people have asked how things are going and how Elizabeth and Elijah are settling in. All things considered they are doing well, and yes, today is the third day and it was so much better than the first day or two. There are several things that have been noteworthy (for lack of a better…

Twenty-three years ago a very, very courageous birth mom gave birth to a treasure that would four months later be called our son, Tyler.
