A journal sharing our renovation projects, faith, ups, downs and anything else we feel like talking about
Yesterday, I finished cleaning out the spare room. Viv and I took apart the king size bed and put it out in the hall. I also attached her fireplace mantel back to the wall. We also swept it out, cleaned the baseboards and sealed her floor with some kind of special wood wax sealer. It [...]
**Warning: this is a soap box post, so if you do not like reading those, my advice is to stop reading now. *** This morning, I was so proud to be able to bring a picture of my son to church and show some of my friends who our new son is going to be. [...]
Well, you no longer are able to spell words you don’t want her to hear….you are not able to speed anymore…hehe Vivian is always fussing at Steven saying “the sign says 45 daddy” and she can see that he is going 60. In the car driving today…I was not listening to Viv prattle…I was thinking [...]

If you have ventured over to my other blog, BeautyofAdoption.wordpress.com, you know that we are working on an International Adoption. We are working on a couple fundraisers to make this possible. Today, I received the dolls in that are up for “adoption”. They come with a Certificate of Adoption and a story about where they [...]
Yes, this is a big announcement! Steven and I (and Vivian!) have decided to adopt. We have talked about it many times. We have finally decided to go ahead and take the leap of faith to get the process rolling. If anyone knows of someone or has adopted before, you know that it is a [...]
Ok. So, Monday I started working on my Science assignment for this week. I read some of the problems, answered the ones I could and then put off the ones I needed to understand a little bit better before answering.
