I came home yesterday and supermom shared with me all the fun, exciting and not so exciting things that happened in her day. Then she told me the story of how Manny, our youngest, was playing with his trucks and legos and what not. He ended up having a conversation with his imaginary friends, which …
Children are some of the most resilient things I know. When people abuse children I believe God’s heart truly breaks. Sometimes when I consider what we are going through as it relates to our children, I want to excuse it away with, “…well, they’re adopted!” Sometimes, we don’t know what to do! How do you …
I am a bit overwhelmed as of late. I have been doing lots of research, reading, watching and writing on media, ministry, and teens. I have also found a love of the documentary. I just finished watching a trailer for a documentary that disturbs me. Although, SuperSize me, focused on the obesity of America through …
It has been several months since we last blogged. For that we are seriously sorry. We have started many new things and enjoyed many exciting times together. Last week several things happened for us. First, we tore carpet out of our sunroom and painted the floor (it’s like a basement floor now). We finally got …

Over the last couple of weeks supermom and I have been keeping close eyes on a subject that is dear to our hearts….No, not the "economic" crisis we seem to be in, (we’ll talk about that in later posts) but the tragedy of our agency. When seraching for adoption agencies, a couple years …
the ride, originally uploaded by Abba’s Girl. When did you learn to ride a bike? Remember your first time? I sure do. Just the other day I took Monkey and Mowgli on their 1st mountain bike ride. Although it isn’t completely fair, they had to ride their single speed ‘bmx’ style bikes. Although singlespeed is …
Originally uploaded by Abba’s Girl I wish I could describe to you how much fun I am having with my kids this week. OHHHHHHH….However, I must be honest…10 hours one day of working with our eldest on being obedient and his refusal to listen obediently to our directions took its toll on this “old” man. …
I stayed up last night watching an episode of Raymond. It was the episode where he begins to be more authoritative and get his twin boys to clean their room and he stunk. After some guilting from his wife, parents, and brother he admits that this is hard. He can’t be the "mean" one and …
