Feeling the Sorrow

Feeling the Sorrow

I’m not always on top of the various feast days of our Church.  But, this morning (September 15) when I realized it was the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, I had fear.  It felt as if it was a premonition of sorts of the day ahead.   I’ve been living in fear all week, […]

Contending With The Fear

Contending With The Fear

We finally made it to the date of the adoption hearing.  Four weeks of worry.  Four weeks of nausea.  Grandma made no efforts to get the twins.  She didn’t show up for her scheduled visit and never rescheduled another one.  She didn’t tell the social worker if she found adequate housing.  Nothing.  So, we drove […]

Please Pray For Our Twins

We learned yesterday that we may lose our twins.  They are three years old and we have had them for over two of those years.  They spent a year in foster care before we got them. The maternal grandmother, whom the twins have never met, has decided she would like to have them.  If she […]

Letters To Lisa

Letters To Lisa

One of my favorite things to do is to write on my blog.  I think it’s because it’s something I do just for me.  It’s not for my kids, it’s not for my hubby.  It’s for me.  I don’t paint, or sew (at least not anymore), I don’t sing or write poetry.  But writing on […]

Children’s Nativity Set

Is this not the cutest boy EVER?!? My girl friend blessed us with her families this Christmas.  I have always wanted a sturdy, play nativity set for my children, but never invested in one.  Titus, our  4 year old in the photo above, has already spend hours playing with the set. What a great gift! […]

The Prayer of a Princess

The Prayer of a Princess

At the beginning of this school year, we put three of our children in a school that was predominately Native American.  Ten out of eleven of our children are at least 1/2 Native American.  My children wanted the opportunity to go to school with peers who were also Native American.  Since I had discovered “unschooling” […]

Holidays Can Be Hard

Holidays Can Be Hard

The holidays are often a very difficult time for some of the people in our family.  Each year I forget how hard it will be.  When the difficulties arise, it often catches me off guard. But not this year.  This year I’m on top of it.  Probably because life at our house has been a little […]

Spiders and B vitamins

I feel like my family is my on going science experiment.   This morning Matthew, one of our 2.8 year old twins, was having alot of anxiety about spiders.  He has had a fear of spiders since we first got him, but hasn’t been anxious about them for some time.  But this morning he was […]
