We are at CHOP again, but I wanted to do a quick post and tell you that Eliza chose to come with us today!
She has been such a homebody since we came home and has really not wanted to go anywhere. When we have insisted, we have wished we hadn’t. She has been […] Read more…
I’m a Mary
I’m a Mary, not a Martha.
Although I benefit from some structure in my life, I struggle mightily with creating it.
I will sit patiently with you if you are sad, or just want to talk.
I have no problem rocking babies, or children while the laundry piles up.
I don’t mind at all if we get lost in […] Read more…
One Wild Ride
I am beginning to think we are on one wild roller coaster ride.
We did end up taking Evangeline in to Children’s today for her foot. She has only been walking on her foot since Wednesday and already she is developing an open wound which is draining. She’s back on the antibiotics and can’t walk […] Read more…
A Very Special Miracle
We have been home from China with our girls for seven and a half weeks, and they were ours two weeks before that. In some ways, it’s hard to believe that much time has passed, and yet in others it feels like an awful lot has happened since we met our precious blessings.

All About Steven
Steven is one of our really good boys.
You know the kind. They are quiet, rarely do anything wrong, never seem to have any needs that are too urgent. In a word, they are content.
That is our Steven.
My sweet boy.
No matter how delightful, there is a danger in being so good, so […] Read more…

Doing Hard Things
I’m sitting in our lovely front room that Mark cleaned up for me before he left. It’s quiet because he has taken half the children to Ballet, and the others are playing quietly. Mark didn’t go to work today because when it was time for him to go, I couldn’t hold back the tears. I […] Read more…
Difficulties
I know things have been pretty slow around here for the past few days.
All of our children are homeschooled except our oldest son, Andrew. He attends a local Christian School and is in his Senior year. He has not been envolved in many extra-curricular activities, but has loved drama. He was in a […] Read more…
Who Tells Their Stories?
Sometimes on the weekends we linger long around the table.
We tell stories. We tell tales of years past, memories that we hold in our minds of the past that we all share.
We tell about the time Daddy launched the rocket ship three different times in a row, and about how each time it […] Read more…
A Sweet Presence
I want to thank everyone who shared your heart and wisdom with me after my last post. You are all such a blessing and a wealth of knowledge and experience. I am so thankful for all of you who have so faithfully followed our journey with the girls and have taken time out of your […] Read more…
