In case you missed the explanation of our daughters first name, feel free to find out more here. On to her middle name! I’ve been following along with lots of other China moms adoption stories, and it has been such huge help!!! Especially as we learned her Chinese name and had to figure out what […]
What’s in a Name?
If you’ve known me very long, you probably know I’m a little crazy about names. I think a name is basically a self-fulfilling prophecy. Naming our kids has been a big deal, and not just the name itself. Each of our kids have different verses that go with their names that we have prayed over […]
Good News from China
February was one of the craziest months ever. My head has been spinning, I can barely catch my breath and I regularly feel panic trying to take over that I have to fight down. Some of it is the start of baseball season, some of it is our daughters birthday. Some of it’s our sons […]
He Redeems
My first experience with hospitals that I vividly recall was going to visit my grandmother after she had open heart surgery. My adolescent self felt so intimidated and scared by all the machines and hoses and cords. She was still intubated, and couldn’t speak, just laid there lifeless. A vivacious woman now completely immobilized for […]
A Rollercoaster Ride
We have been fortunate to get more and more plugged into the adoptive world. As we do so, the reoccurring analogy we hear from just about everyone discussing the process is comparing the process to a rollercoaster ride. With all the twists and turns and ups and downs and highs and lows we have experienced […]
Healthy Inspiration
January 1. The day your instagram feed switches from all the glutinous meals loaded with cheese, rich meats, and sugar that we have been eating over the holidays to salads and vegetables. Lump us into the cliche. With good reason. The new year is a perfect time for a fresh start. A reset. I believe […]
Adoption Update: Waiting Again
Hey. I’m still here. We’ve had a whole lot going on in the last month or so. We had our final dossier push, which was (as every adoption venture seems to be) filled with drama. Including two wrongly certified documents, driving to far away countries, being stuck in downtown traffic when I need to be […]
On Thanks and Giving
I get a little bit cranky the first few days after Halloween. Sometimes I think it’s the sugar crash from stealing my kiddos candy, but I think after a few years, I’ve finally figured out what it is. The mourning of Thanksgiving. I’m not one of those bah-humbug, throwing shade at the Target christmas trees […]
I’ll Be There For You
I’ve likened making friends as an adult to dating. As you pursue relationships, you start to realize there are certain types of guys. There’s the guy who is just SO pretty, the guy who seems to know everyone, the one who is the life of the party, the one who always makes you laugh, the […]
A Fresh Start
The beginning of October. I love October. As my time hop app graciously reminded me, this time last year I embarked on a challenge called Write 31 days. It challenges you to pick a topic, and write on it for 31 days. It did just that, challenge me! I was so glad I did it though, […]
