Maggie's Concert


Tonight was Maggie's music (and dance) concert. (Pictured above are Maggie's two best friends from her class: Kayla and Jordan.) She did a great job. She was so cute and so excited about the evening! I loved seeing all of the Durango kids dressed up. . .in the Midwest, you see kids dressed up at least on Sunday, but here, you have to wait for a school concert for that! They were adorable! Maggie sang with her class and danced and played the xylophone. (And, of course, Tamara was there to support my kids. She is so amazing!)


(I told Hays that he is going to be sorry that he smiled like that when I put this picture in his rehearsal dinner video someday!)


Tiki and his favorite friend, William.


Maggie and her teacher (who is wonderful), Mr. McManus.

Then I got to quickly tuck my kids in (concert ended PAST bedtime on a school night) and what a joy to this mother's heart to walk past the girls' room and see Maggie kneeling by Gabby's bed as they were praying together. . .it doesn't get much better than that!


This elk has nothing to do with the concert, but he was standing by the road with his wife (not pictured) right by our house. I love the wildlife here!!! I also wanted my dad to see this picture. . .he gets really jealous that we see huge animals like this every day (and he can't believe that I carry my camera in my car and not a gun).

Hi! My husband and I are praying through adopting from Rwanda! We are excited and nervous and feel a little overwhelmed all at the same time! I would love to know you thoughts on agencies and just the whole process. You could e-mail me if you get a share moment...I am sure you are really busy with all of your sweet kiddos! Thanks!

Blessings,
Jenna

They Made It!!!!

This is Kelly blogging for Jamie,and I just got off the phone with her. After traveling for 44 hours, they finally made it. I'm overjoyed by the news that they were able to MEET Ruk for the first time pretty soon after they arrived as well, and everything went GREAT!!! Jamie says he is VERY small... even smaller than Dax, and that he is probably a size 4... WOW! Jamie says that all his teeth are coming in and is not the toothless guy we have seen photos of. She also said that he was very sweet and affectionate with her, and that he called her mommy already. This is a great sign as it shows he is open and ready for a family!!! Jamie was told that all day long he was chatting away that he was going to meet his mommy today! Sniff, sniff!!! Hays and Ruk hit it off real well too and didn't have any of that awkward and shy first time to meet you syndrome. They played for over an hour, and Hays had a BALL with his rambunctious and playful brother, Ruk. Lots of hugging and kissing were...

Recovering P31

What?  A recovering P31? Proverbs 31 describes the wife of noble character.  This wife gets up early and works hard all day long and isn't even tired when she finally retires from all of her work at night.  She is a servant to her husband and she makes him proud.  She is a fantastic mom and I'm sure, if there was Pinterest in the day, she would be the Pinterest-y-est of the moms.  She isn't afraid of hard work and she has the pantry stocked in the case of an emergency and she has her family ready for cold winters, famine and hard times.  She helps strangers and loved ones alike and she has her sights set beyond herself.  Her husband praises her and her children are grateful for her and call her blessed. Oh my gosh!  What a great lady!  I want to be like her!  So why am I a recovering P31 and why am I writing about it now when I'm not even a wife? (For starters, I think this kind of noble woman is a goal regardless of any woman's marital ...

Braner, Party of SEVEN!!!!

Well, I guess it isn't officially official until we pass court, but we have a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is six years old and his name is Jean de Dieu (John of God). That is all I know. No pictures or anything else, but this is plenty to digest for now. I am overjoyed and so happy and overwhelmed and a little nervous. I promise to pass along details once I have them and pictures, too! But for now, my children are Hays, Maggie, Jean de Dieu (John?), Dax and Gabby. God is good and I cannot wait to see what He has in store for Braner, party of seven!
