We have pretty much been home bound around here since December tenth. We’ve had a couple different viruses blow through all of us, and now that Evangeline had her surgery, we are deep in the throws of cabin fever.
Mom mom and Pop pop decided to give us a break and took all who […] Read more…
Home!
We came home from the hospital last night.
Evangeline is having quite a bit of pain in her left foot, but she is doing well. Mark carries her from bed to couch to wheelchair.
We’re praying she has some relief from the pain soon because she has a long day of appointments at CHOP on […] Read more…
De-coding Sweet Eliza
On January 12th, we will have had Eliza with us for four months.
As many of you know, getting to know Eliza has been difficult. It seems like I have been trying to understand her and figure out who she is inside since the very first moment we met her, and while there are still […] Read more…
Questions
Thank you so much for your prayers!
Evangeline had a good night. She has a little pain in her left foot, but does not complain or seem to be too uncomfortable.

Tomorrow Evangeline will have surgery to lengthen the muscles and tendons in her feet. We have looked into […] Read more…

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…
