The highlight of our week? Mia, Ty, and I got to see a Blue Morpho Butterfly up-close and personal. Even better? We got pictures to prove it.
I wish you could understand just how elusive these guys were. They seemed to be taunting all of us who just wanted one good shot. They rarely landed and [...]

I love reading these posts at other blogs because it makes me feel “normal” or at least like I’m not the only crazy one out there. Head over to MckMama’s blog to read more. Happy Laughing!
If you lived in my house, you may hear me saying…
“If you need to poop, please get back on the [...]

Someone made a provocative comment to Patrick today that gave me pause. I don’t think well on my feet so I mulled it over on my drive back from DC in rush hour traffic this evening.
Comment: Why would I want to spend $2000 to host one orphan, when I could sponsor a dozen through World [...]

Anyway, they were [...]

I love Legos and all the educational opportunities they provide. I love the creativity they inspire. I love that they don’t need batteries. I get paid to play with Legos. Robotic [...]

For whatever reason (probably because God designed us this way), we do not like to feel alone or singled out. There is power in knowing you are not alone. This is blessing and a curse. It depends on what the group is doing.
Helping others. Good.
Jumping off a bridge. Bad.
Finding others who have reconciled a broken [...]

Part of the reason I’ve been neglecting this blog is because we’ve been knee deep in Grafted Families stuff. Conference planning. Networking. Being awed at God’s provision. Conference planning. Website designing. Meeting. And, wait, did I mention conference planning?
Curious about the new website or want to know more about Grafted Families?
Feel free to check out [...]

The good news is that our summer has been full of sun and fun (which makes for lots of great pictures). The bad news is that we’ve been having so much fun that I haven’t had time (or energy) to blog at the rate at which we are having fun.
At the end of the school [...]
