San Francisco

This past weekend was our annual mother/daughter girls' trip and we headed to San Francisco!  Every year my mom invites her four daughters to go on a girls' trip with her and each year we go somewhere fun to enjoy time away and time together!  This year three of us met mom on the West Coast. 

The first day was pretty cloudy, but we saw the city!  We took a bus tour and a boat tour.  We saw the Full House "painted ladies" homes and the Golden Gate Bridge among many other San Fran sites.  Then we went on a walking tour of Alcatraz. 

The second day was beautiful!  We walked through China town and took a walking art tour of Sausalito where we got to paint our very own landscape of the Golden Gate Bridge.  We voted and Mom had the best picture by far. . . no one was really surprised because it seems like everything she does works out perfectly!  Jennafer and I rushed off to see the Walt Disney Family Museum and it was a wonderful collection and display of all of Walt's personal Disney things.

All in all the trip was good.  Great food.  Fun tours and shopping.  We'll have many stories to remember for a long time!  Thanks, Mom!

I couldn't pass up the Midnight Reverie from Ghiradelhi!

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!
