Because, apparently, I was only thankful for two weeks and no one can accuse me of not following through... (Oh, wait, lots of people can accuse me of that.) Anyway, I wanted to finish up my "thankful" November blogs. It's November somewhere, right? ;)I'm not going to try to go day-by-day because, well, that would be crazy. So, … Continue reading Being Thankful, eventually.

Four-Legged Adoption Is Forever, Too.
So, this weekend's excitement was adding a dog to our home again. Ever since our Ben passed away, the house has been so very dog-less. It's also been less hairy, less noisy, and less messy (kind of). But, mostly it's been dog-less. At first, I couldn't stand the idea of a different dog in the house. … Continue reading Four-Legged Adoption Is Forever, Too.
They Are Children Of My Own.
I was talking to someone once about adoption. He was telling me how great it was that we had adopted. Then he added that he didn't think he could do it because he would want a child of his own. And, I was thinking, don't you get it? They are your own! I don't love my … Continue reading They Are Children Of My Own.

The 6Parkers?
So, last week, I got a voicemail from Patrick's case worker. She was wondering about setting up a December visit.

We had considered the … Continue reading The 6Parkers?
Was The Floor Thirsty?
Parenting is definitely a learning process. Some days I feel like I've got it all figured out. Some days I feel like I've got a lot to learn. Most days, it's a mixture of both.But, today, I learned why I should've resisted the temptation to hit the snooze button when I knew those kids of mine … Continue reading Was The Floor Thirsty?
It’s Not Easy To Be The Tooth Fairy –spoiler alert ;)
So, sometimes, I'm very impressed with my mom skills...and sometimes, I'm not. This week was a little of both. On Tuesday, as I was pulling into the pick-up lane at school, I could see William running to me, a little unnecessarily enthusiastically. He was going so fast that all I wanted to do was open the … Continue reading It’s Not Easy To Be The Tooth Fairy –spoiler alert 😉
