Tina.

I went to a fabulous bible study tonight led my a friend of mine, Tina Hutchison.  She is an amazing woman and a great teacher.  She has a love for our God that is radiating from her words and her actions.  She serves weekly in a prison for women here in TN.  She is truly [...]

The Kite Runner

Just finished watching a great movie.  The Kite Runner is worth your time.  I read the book when it came out and must say that as usual the book is 100 times better.  I highly suggest the book for you readers out there.  If not, be sure and see the movie.  I give the movie [...]

Dinner Conversations

Tonight for dinner we had great conversations.  It was just the boys and myself over spaghetti and I love when they just talk about random stuff.  Here were a few of our conversations:

When I grow up I want to ride on a space ship. – Cayden
Cayden and Deacon developed a plan for their own band.  [...]

thankful.

I follow a blog of a lady here in Nashville who is carrying a baby that is not supposed to live much after her delivery.  I cry every time I read a post of hers.  I am always snapped back into reality after reading something about her journey.  It is amazing how God can do [...]

new pictures of Amos & Story

I must saw that one thing I am loving about our current adoption situation is the frequency that we receive pictures of our children.  With us knowing about them before our dossier was even down there that brings new emotions as we watch them literally get bigger before our eyes in pictures.  I would not [...]

I have read too many blogs to count where adoptive parents mourn another holiday passing without their kids home.  We have not encountered one of those holiday’s yet, but once Christmas 2008 gets here we will begin those dreaded holiday’s.
No where in my mind do I think that my kids will be home by Christmas.  [...]

OH how I can’t wait to post pics of Aaron holding our kids in May!!

slings.

Okay moms I need your professional opinion on the subject of baby slings.  Which ones have you bought that you loved?  Which ones did you hate?  I want something easy and styling too.
This weekend at church a lady had four kids under 5 and she was wearing one on her back in an ergo baby [...]

a new book.

I finished ATONEMENT by Ian McEwan this weekend. It was good but not my favorite love story ending! The parts where he was in the war were hard for me to read. Not because of violence, but because it wasn’t interesting to me and it was kinda hard for me to follow.
I [...]

it’s Haiti – don’t ask.

I feel like every time I turn around something else is needed for our papers to be complete and ready to move.  As soon as we think it is all there and all ready, we are told it is not.  We just found out that we now need Amos’ grandpa to bring his ID and [...]
