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.
Tonight […] Read more…
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…

A Long Day
Today we went to Children’s Hospital.
Dr. Davidson removed Evangeline’s stitches, and I shared my concerns about the surgery with him. I really don’t think he realized how well she can walk. He has so many patients with Spina Bifida that he sees, and Evangeline is really not a typical Spina Bifida patient.
We did […] Read more…
Long Day Tomorrow
Tomorrow we go back to CHOP again in the morning for the orthopedic doctor to remove the stitches in Evangeline’s foot. We have decided that we will get a second opinion before scheduling surgery, and either way, I think we have decided to postpone indefinitely surgery on her good foot. She does too well […] 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…
