I want to post pictures of baby E, so you can all see how beautiful he is, but rules are rules. However, I don’t think a glimpse of his little hands and feet could hurt. So here is our little man.
While we are on the subject of Baby E I wanted to post a few prayer [...]

I don’t want to get in the habit of censoring my blog, nor do I want to feel like I have to respond to comments that people make in defense of myself. However, this time I am going to. This is MY blog, MY heart being laid out, and MY life that I am writing [...]

We have gotten some new picture of our Baby E, or as Natalie calls him Mr. E, recently. First, Natalie, our new friend from Washington, went to pick up her beautiful, Ethiopian beauty in August and while she was there she also met Baby E. She took lots of pictures and sent us a few. [...]

We had our first MOPS meeting today, with me as coordinator, and it went great (thanks to all the wonderful people on the Valley Breeze MOPS team).
Let me back up a little. MOPS or Mothers of Preschoolers was the first “event” I attended here in Utah. Jenn made me promise when I left Washington to find the [...]
Mini-Miracle

Is there such a thing…… a mini-miracle? I don’t know if there is. Maybe all miracles are just miracles. What constitutes a miracle? What some people consider a miracle, I am sure others think is just coincidence or chance? I have been thinking about the subject of miracles off and on for a while. I [...]

On Labor day, after all of our plans to hang out with other people fell through, we decided to take a trip up into the mountains. Someone had told us about Mirror Lake. They had even given us tentative directions. Which we did try to follow. However, we forgot our map. Anyway, we stopped in [...]

Nanny and Poppa came to visit in August on their way to Sayre, OK. While they were here we visited a Dinosaur Park in Ogden,Ut. It was a three year old boys dream. Their were a couple of mechanical dinosaurs that Sloan could have sat watching for hours. We finally got him to move on. [...]
A While…..
Posted in Africa, Christian Living, Faith, Family Life, God, Life on September 4, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’m back…… Really I didn’t go anywhere. Maybe crazy. Actually I feel like I have been a little crazy the last month and a half. Once we got baby E’s referral I feel like our life has been an emotional roller-coaster. A good thing followed almost directly by a bad thing (or at least what [...]
