Happy Birthday, Maggie!!!


Happy Birthday, Maggie!  Oh my!  This picture (above) is one of my favorites. . . Maggie being Maggie. . .just enjoying life regardless of what is going on.

Ten years ago today. . .just like today. . .camp was starting, I had tons on my plate. . .woke up very early in labor, but I had too much to do!  I went through the camp motions. . .leadership meeting and breakfast. . .by the time breakfast was over, Andy had had enough and he wisked me to the hospital.  Good thing, because Maggie showed up in a hurry.

Maggie. . .how do I describe her?  There really aren't adequate words.  She is Maggie.  There is no one like her and no words can really describe who she is. 

She is sweet and thoughtful.  She spends most of her time in her own little world--Planet Maggie we call it.  She is an amazing sister (big and little) and a great daughter.  She has a gentle spirit and yet she is so fun-loving!

I enjoy Maggie so much!  I am so thankful that God gave her to me and made her exactly who she is.  I am looking forward to many more years with her. . .many more laughs. . .many more memories.

I love you, Maggie!  You are so dear to me!  Happy Birthday!

Below are some of my favorite pictures of her:

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...

A Little Bit Of News From The Land Of A Thousand Hills. . .

I heard from Tim, my POA, today. Here is what his email said: We had a brief meeting, superior nun and was busy but favorable to adoption. She is encouraged by your heart especially with a second adoption. We have rescheduled to meet Saturday morning to finalize choice of the child. I shared your preferences and they don't have any issue with it. They told me that I need to proceed carefully especially with regards to other kids staying at the orphanage who may not get the chance of being adopted. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a picture of the boy that you may adopt! So. . .I'm assuming that Saturday means tomorrow. I am a little nervous! I am actually a lot nervous, but am trying to minimize that feeling by reminding myself that God knows the perfect child for our family! I'll be praying today!!!!!

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 ...
