As I laid in bed this AM not sleeping of course, because that would be too much to ask for, I started to think about what Eyob will know about this time when he gets older. Will he want to hear about the frantic packing and planning we did before we went to get him? [...]

So I know I have been pretty silent on the blogging front for two weeks. But I haven’t been just sitting around. The first two days after finding out we would be traveling in two weeks, I just sat around and stared (for the most part). I told Brandon I need to make a list [...]

Halloween 2007
Halloween was pretty fun this year with both boys being able to participate. We went to a friends house for a pre-trick or treating party for the parents- soup and wine- and then we took the kids out. The older kids Sloan’s age and up just ran from house to house. Sean, with help [...]

I think that all of my life I have viewed God as a vending machine… I put in my prayers and he is obligated to pop out what I asked for. What a child I am….. I think about what my prayers have consistenly been the last few months…… a few praises, a confession or [...]
