In 2010 I travelled alone to Ukraine to adopt two little angels whom the Lord was about to add to our growing family. It had been quite a journey to get to that point. A journey of learning what it means to truly trust. Anthony and I had lived a blessed, quite comfortable, rather predictable life until we began the journey to add not one, but two daughters who had Down syndrome to our … [Read more...]
gratitude
Happy Friday, everyone. Today we're counting our many blessings. His Word says that it's good to give thanks to the Lord (Psalm 107:1). It's in the 70's and springy clothes are just the best. Spring break begins today and we cannot wait to spend time together. After a week of some yucky viral stuff, everyone is feeling so much better today. Praise! Our land is getting green--new … [Read more...]
delightful
For years Hailee has pulled her hair out...over and over again. We tried hats. All kinds of hats. But old habits learned in the institution are so hard to break and we just could not grow her pretty hair out. How these two darlings have grown since this was taken in 2012. It's taken almost six years and finally we have enough hair for... ...the mini bun. Times two. She's … [Read more...]
oh, my Hailee!
How very far she has come in five and a half years! Energetic, spunky, happy, funny, a whole lot of awesomeness in a tiny package, always keeping us on our toes...this girl is delightful in every way imaginable. She brings us so much joy. I just cannot imagine my life without this little darling in it. Hailee is just so much fun! God sure has done a miracle in her life. They said … [Read more...]
growing up
The baby of the family turned eight last week. Oh, the JOY of it all (as you'll see in the video). I cannot believe that our littlest is growing up so quickly. Harper is absolutely loving school and is a delight to all who meet her. She shines so brightly, loves people fiercely, gives the best hugs, finds joy in most circumstances, is a chatterbox, makes ten thousand two second movies on … [Read more...]
Yes, they absolutely are…
Fearfully and wonderfully made. Created in the image of a God in heaven who does all things well. We're officially one month into school and these three are absolutely loving it! They love the bus ride, love their teachers, and are thriving in their new routine. We're so very thankful that God has made a way for them to have a nurturing, loving environment to learn and grow … [Read more...]
preciousness
I totally forgot to share this picture of Hailee and Harper when I posted their first day of school photos earlier this week. It's just too precious not to share. My two youngest treasures on this earth. They have my heart. Completely. … [Read more...]
my terrific trio
On their first day of school. How they have grown! And blossomed. "Let's do this thing, Mom!" And grown taller. And so much stronger too. How ridiculously blessed we are! Thank you, Lord Jesus, for these precious gifts from heaven. … [Read more...]
