Monday, February 11th, 2008I am very proud to report that Madeline has finally gotten to the point in her mastery of language where she continually talks. She has dialogue running constantly and it is so wonderful to hear her take on things. Before this point it was so hard for her to communicate that she only gave you [...]
Men are respectable only as they respect
Monday, February 11th, 2008Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke those words long ago and they are still poignant. As Bill mentioned in his previous post and I have mentioned in other posts lately, our little ladies are having issues with respect. There is no malice in their behavior but in the end it is not a respectful manner to behave. [...]
Jail Time
Sunday, February 10th, 2008We went for an unplanned walk around our neighborhood and the surrounding desert today when we couldn’t find Peach anywhere in the house. When Sandi was loading the car with some supplies for a party, Madeline followed her out and left the door wide open. Peach, coming from a backyard background, often seizes any opportunity [...]
I’ve got goosebumps
Thursday, February 7th, 2008Today while we were at Kimberly’s surgery prep the nurse asked her if she had brothers or sisters. She told her she had 2 sisters. The nurse asked again if she had brothers, Kimberly responded with “not yet.” The nurse looked confused, since thank God she didn’t think I looked pregnant, and Bill let her [...]
What’s all the fuss about??
Thursday, February 7th, 2008Kimberly did an excellent job in her surgery today. She woke up ready to face the day and was more calm than I could imagine. There were no tears shed as she walked away with the nurse to her surgery. She was so amazingly calm. Here she is super cute and ready to go. When [...]
Such a big brave girl
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Tonight as we were talking to Kimberly about her surgery tomorrow she was very calm. She is still not hip to the idea of having stitches, but there is no way around that. I am sure when she awakens from anesthesia tomorrow she won’t be pleased with what has transpired, but then again maybe she [...]
Blessings of a full life
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008Earlier today I was having a hard time dealing with the way the cards were unfolding. I was getting caught up in timelines and how I want things to work out. Tonight I am feeling more refreshed and safe about what is to come. It may not be the ultimate dream come true but it [...]
Some days make everything seem so far
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008Today I am feeling pretty down. #1 the I-171H has not arrived yet and although they still have 1 week to do so, I am just not doing so well with it. #2 this morning we received an email from our agency letting us know that they no longer support families traveling before court dates [...]
Great post by another blogger
Monday, February 4th, 2008Today I was reading through my blogs and enjoying the general banter that occurs on most blogs. As I was reading I opened up this blog and I couldn’t help but agree completely. What a wonderful way to express the feelings of my heart.
Tantrums
Monday, February 4th, 2008Lately we have been having many tests of will in our home. With 3 head-strong girls it was bound to come up at some point. I think we are officially there. Something crazy happens to a child when they turn 4. Maybe it is due to the fact that they have quite a bit of [...]
