This past Sunday was a very special day.
We dedicated our dear Christiana to the Lord during the Sunday morning service at our church. As our entire family stood along with our pastor and his wife before our church family and dedicated this newest blessing back to the God who gave her to us I was [...]
Oh what a beautiful girl!
I can’t believe that it has been seven weeks since I have posted anything on my blog! It certainly hasn’t been –
for lack of anything to say (this girl ALWAYS has something to say)
and it hasn’t been because I am sitting around eating bon-bons (although I have been eating a bit too much [...]
Was there ever a baby so loved and adored?
You wouldn’t think so by the overwhelming response upon our arriving home on Tuesday afternoon. We arrived back home to the squeals of delight from all of our children. They each took turns meeting, holding and adoring their new baby sister. It was such a special day.
Throughout [...]
There are some amazing circumstances surrounding our recent adoption that are evidence of the providential hand of God in every detail of our lives. Let me share them in “bullet” form so that I can get them out quickly in the limited time frame I have.
Many have asked about her name. Yes, it is her [...]
Sunday May 17 was an amazing day! It was the day that the Lord placed into our loving arms, through the miracle of adoption – our newest daughter – Christiana Michelle Lambdin. Unlike the days our other children came into our lives, I was actually all “showered, shampooed & shining” for this momentous occasion. We [...]
Tomorrow morning we will board an airplane bound for Tennessee and all of our lives will be forever changed. Although we are obviously not new to parenting, we are new to adoption. In many ways I have many of those same thoughts and feelings that I did almost 20 years ago as the days grew close to [...]
Wow…can one phone call change your life in an instant and send it in to a whirlwind of activity.
Since Monday afternoon and my last post we have been going a “mile a minute” with preparations and details that need to be completed.
Booking plane tickets to Tennessee – looks like we will be leaving on Saturday [...]
It has finally happened!
After 1 year, 7 months and 4 days of “waiting” we got a call this afternoon from a our very enthusiastic adoption counselor that we have been chosen to be the forever family to a baby girl who was born six weeks ago and is in need of a loving family and [...]
My last post indicated that I was in a bit “over my head” especially with our big annual dinner auction fundraiser at Jim Elliot Christian High School. Since that post on April 15th…I literally worked ’round the clock on this spectacular event. And it was fabulous! You can read about it and see photo’s here [...]
January is National Right to Life Month.
If you have read much of my blog or have known me for longer than 24 hours you most likely are well aware that one of my passions is LIFE! I believe that all human life is a precious gift from God to be more highly valued than riches, possessions, personal pleasure [...]
First let me say … yes I am still having problems with feedburner sending out empty posts or a boatload of archives. UGH! It looks like if it happens one more time I will be temporarily discontinuing the email subscriptions until I can get this worked out. If you read this blog only through subscription, be sure to check back at [...]
What a great weekend of working hard to enlarge a room to be used as a combo – office, school room, play room & family room- with the ultimate goal of creating (and filling!) a boys bedroom.
We were blessed this weekend to have many friends join in the effort and help us save time & money. THANK [...]
We have been working steadily for the past two weeks getting bits & pieces done on the new room. We are so thankful to all of the people who have helped with their labor, their ideas, their wisdom and their expertise. (THANK YOUFelipe, Scott, Chris, Rick, Kim, Jennae, Jason, Josiah, Justin, DJ – we cannot [...]
A Barn raising is a one to two day event during which a community comes together to assemble a barn for one of its households, particularly in 18th- and 19th-century rural North America.
Ok, so we don’t have a barn to raise – but we do need a boys bedroom! As we continue to wait for the [...]
We got an email from the adoption agency this morning saying that the birth mother had chosen another family for her sweet baby boy. We rejoice that another baby has been placed in a loving Christian home. We rejoice with that family who is celebrating today!
Are we disappointed? Yes
Are we a little down today? Yes
Are [...]
