I know posts have been few and far between around here.
There is so much to say, but I am just too sick to write. The kids have been sick for a couple weeks in varying degrees.
Most of them seem to be on the mend, but now Mark and I are down.
Evangeline is […] Read more…

Christmas Flowers
My special friend, Stephanie, brought these flowers to me when she brought the umpteenth meal she has prepared for our mega family since we have come home with the girls.
They are so beautiful.
Every time I look at them I think of all the blessings, the flowers, God is filling our home with this […] Read more…
Nightmares
It’s midnight, and I’m sitting in Evangeline’s room in a tiny toddler chair beside her bed.
It’s Christmastime.
There’s so much to do to prepare. We were at CHOP today for Evangeline’s pre-op visit for the surgery on her feet that is scheduled for January 3.
I’m tired, but I need to be here. […] Read more…
My Friend
My sweet friend Stephanie came to visit today.
She brought bagels and cream cheese and we shared our hearts while the children played.
I couldn’t wait for her to come, but I didn’t realize how desperately I needed to see her until she hugged me.
My eyes filled with tears.
Then I remembered.
She started […] Read more…
Thriving In the Trenches

If I say we’re going to have lunch, they say they’re not hungry. If I say we need to wash our hands, they say, “No.”
If I ask them to do their English on the computer, as soon as I walk out of the room, they […] Read more…

It is late. I just posted a new page on my blog linking sermons from a favorite speaker, and our homeschool beckons me first thing on Monday mornings, but I really want to update you on this new stage we are in with the girls.
Before I begin, I want to say the girls are […] Read more…
Pastor Paul’s Page
Pastor Paul is the teaching pastor at a church in New Jersey.
But this blog isn’t about Pastor Paul. It’s not really about my life or our precious children, and it definitely isn’t about gardening, although I do pray that in some way I am a gardener.
It is about what God is doing in […] Read more…
Thankful
I woke early this morning.
David had come in with a nightmare around four, and then little Olivia climbed in on top of us too. While I was warm and toasty, I was terribly cramped and my mind was ablaze with all the wonderful things God has done in our lives, and all the things […] Read more…
Still Here
The days have passed so quickly lately that every night has met me far before I have finished my to do list and long after my tired body has begun to crave the blessed oblivion of sleep.
Please excuse the abundance of Nutcracker photos I posted without captions, but I wanted to get them on […] Read more…
