Dearest Dan,
I pray that your special day is blessed beyond measure!
May the Lord your God pour out to you His abundant love, grace, faithfulness, joy and peace.
May your students both near & far affirm your calling to young people and the influence you have had in their lives.
May your co-workers at JECHS encourage, support and [...]
This summer my sweet 10 year old Grace decided she wanted to start a garden. Being the homeschooling Mom that I am…I said, ”Great! This can be your summer science project.” (my motto – everything in life is school!) With that she began to research what might grow best in our backyard, purchased all the [...]

I was actually in the Washington DC area on a business trip on that fateful day in American history, along with my then seven year old daughter, Kristen. (she is now 15!) We were getting ready to fly home on that very same morning those planes were flown into the twin towers.
Here is an [...]
47 years ago today….I was born.
My Celebration
Today I will celebrate my life! My God given life - my abundantly blessed life – my 47 years on this earth – my health – my family & friends – my faith – my future!
I will celebrate with those I love and I will enjoy all the delights of the [...]
I received much feedback from my previous post – Living life at both ends of the spectrum – it is always good to be reminded of the importance of our loved ones and in the midst of our busyness in life hopefully those reminders cause us to stop, reevaluate and take the time to love, cherish [...]
As I type this I am watching a pretty wild and rambunctious pillow fight taking place on my bed. The toddler and the six year old are going at it with gusto, as I protect the baby girl from their flailing arms. The computer is bouncing up and down, I just got a foot in my [...]
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 [...]
