Jadon’s big things

Okay, this picture is pretty hilarious for several reasons. First being that he has gone crosseyed looking at the lizard flying in the air. Second being that when he got this lizard from his Grandma, he didn’t let go of it the rest of the night. Third, I really know I am the mother of [...]

Maria’s Memorial Service

I found this post this morning about Maria Sue Chunxi Chapman’s memorial service. Sounds like it was beautiful. The most astounding thing I read is that Caleb, the Chapman’s oldest son, said he’s never been more convinced that Jesus is real.

Thank you Jesus, for holding this hurting family in your arms.
I’d like to ask the [...]

What is currently heartbreaking to us is that the U.S. news reports that THOUSANDS are dying because of the Myanmar’s government’s refusal to help it’s people, but the news sifts to Jeanna Bush’s wedding within [...]

National Day of Prayer for Orphans in Guatemala

Please pray for the children still in Guatemala awaiting adoptions, who are again stuck in political limbo.
As you know, adoptions are in the middle of a bunch of changes that have already caused a lot of delays for families and children who are waiting. Now, with the new presidential administration in charge, PGN has shut [...]

Jadon’s 2nd photo shoot

Jadon had his second photo shoot. I think it turned out even better than the first one, partly because I knew how better to prepare him, but mostly because the day was beautiful outside and Jess is such an awesome photographer. He took over 600 pictures!!! This boy is photogenic!! There are adorable pictures of [...]
