Life keeps moving

Spring is here, the snow is finally gone in our yard, work is keeping us busy, the to-do list at home is long, new things are beginning, and some things are coming to an end, but what is staying consistent - is the wait. Little C is still not here to share all of our milestones. Life keeps moving. This wait it hard and frustrating, but life is still in full swing, for better or worse.

Today Caleb had his last day at the daycare he has attended since we moved here. We very much enjoyed Ms. Julie and she was great for Caleb. She is sadly moving to South Dakota where her husband got a new job. Thanks for the great memories Julie!

Tonight we started a new soccer season. We will see how this year goes! Last fall Caleb had his doubts, but so far he seems a little more excited about this season. It will help that he is a little older, no longer one of the youngest on the team.

Late night - I'm trying to tackle emails and paperwork while the dishes lurk in the other room. Gotta love the to-do pile. :) Life keeps moving...

Night friends!

In Christ,

Mara

Siblings not by choice

Siblings. Not by blood, not by choice, not by the perfect of circumstances. Siblings. Placed together by the hands of God. Placed together through love. May not get along through many circumstances, but love each other with a love most will never understand.

Love & attachment

This was put on by our local agency conducting our homestudy. The focus of this meeting was to talk about what to expect once our children are home. We learned a lot about "triggers" for our children - when life could be more difficult, we also learned more about attachment issues, and we learned/discussed what it will be like for our children to live in a "white privileged" family & neighborhood. Since this education, my mind has been swarming with many different thoughts. Many I'd like to try to convey into my writing, although this may take a few blogs. Tonight, as I work on getting my son to go to bed - and Stay ...

That feeling

It happened again. In church of all places. A place where a heavy heart should be thrown out of the window. A place where envy isn't welcome. A place where I should be reminded, more than any place else, that I should trust God. That icky feeling happened. The feeling where I question God. I wonder why . The feeling where I envy the pregnant lady. I envy the families with multiple young children. I envy the baby being held. I pretty much despise this feeling. I hate how it feels when it creeps up into my mind. I dislike the water that starts pooling in my eyes. And I feel like such a fool for having such thoughts. The blessings in my life are beyond measure, especially when it comes to my wonderful little boy, Caleb. But I still question - "why?" What do you suppose is God's answer when I ask? Is He scoffing at me and saying "not this again Mara." Is He pleading with me, "would you just Trust?" Is He rejoicing, saying "I'm th...
