- Facing Fear: Who's Got My Back?on Sep 14, 2012Fear. For me, fear sometimes blocks me from living life full throttle. By "full throttle", I don't mean "fast"; I mean "boldly, without hesitation". I don't want to hold back or "fold". I want to live life "all in". Do y...
- My Rant; I am Throwing Down a Challengeon Jun 1, 2012Well, it has been six months since my last blog. Too long! Honestly, I have been involved in another writing project. I will let you know if it gets published. I am still in the process. Today I took Noah and Judah to the pl...
- Home Study Paperwork Completedon Dec 5, 2011Our home visit went really well. Jennifer, the lady from the adoption agency, stayed for nearly three hours. The visit was pleasant and unstressful (is that a word?). She asked all kinds of questions like, "How were you disciplined...

- "Water, Water, Everywhere, and Not a Drop to Drink!"on Oct 12, 2011Last night around 7:45, Neil and I were upstairs overseeing Judah's bath time (that can take two people and about eight bath sheets), and Noah was downstairs playing on the laptop. Neil figured he would go downstairs and check on Noah to make sure he...
