Musings of a mother of many
We took a trip to Ohio last weekend for Mark’s parents 50th wedding anniversary.
Fifty years! Now that’s something to celebrate!
And celebrate we did!
Mark’s sister made delightful cupcakes,
And decorated with lovely flowers…
We got to visit with Grandma who will be 98 years old this year.
We even got quite a few of us together for […] Read more…
I can’t believe I really have a son who will be turning eighteen in September.
It seems like only yesterday that he was just a little boy,
…playing with dragons. He loved dragons. I think he always will. There’s just something magical about dragons, isn’t there?
“A dragon lives forever, not so little boys…”
I can’t really look at […] Read more…
On Wednesday, we took the train in to NYC for Victoria’s pointe shoe fitting.
She doesn’t want anyone to take any pictures of her which is really hard for her mother who just adores her.
Gaynor Minden Pointe Shoes is in the residential section of New York City in a charming brownstone with a beautiful […] Read more…
I used to think I knew a lot. I was confident and educated. My husband had graduated from an Ivy league graduate school. We both spoke fluent french.

We can’t wait to bring you home, Eliza BiLu.

We are thanking Jesus tonight for His death and life and praying that someone in China will share Jesus’ love this Easter with […] Read more…
Sometimes the needs of a large family just seem so diverse and vast that I’d like to hit a pause button somewhere just to slow things down a bit.
We had to make a few quick decisions for our oldest son, Andrew, this week. He is seventeen and in eleventh grade. As many of […] Read more…
Right after Christmas, our Korean exchange students arrived.
I’m sure they felt strange at first,
but it didn’t take long till they were one of the boys.
The kids made some new friends,
and we shared our lives…and the puppies…
and, in return, were so blessed by these boys, our sons from a foreign land.
Saying Goodbye was really hard.
There were […] Read more…
Late at night, when the kids are asleep or settling in, and when Mark and I are really feeling the effects of our long days, here’s where you’ll find us…
knee deep in paperwork.
We are driven by a fierce love for a young girl on the other side of the world whom we have never met,
a […] Read more…
Well, I am still working on getting my giveaway button working but I wanted to share a few pictures from Thanksgiving Day at my parent’s house with my family.
There were over forty of us together this Thanksgiving! It was an absolutely wonderful day!
Blessings!
