30 days since our official LID (log in date)… 30 days waiting for our LOA (Letter of Approval)… Although the Chinese New Year has everything closed for a bit…I’m hoping they are moseying back in the office soon and our papers will be on the right desk at the right time. It’s been about 130 […]

Category Archives: Day in the Life Ever find yourself at one of those life stages where you feel like you could just walk around with a recorder of treasured moments? I’m there. Listening to my littles process and answer things…and many times just listening to conversation between them. Some funny…some thought-provoking…some just silly… making this momma laugh. Here are some things […] Preciousness! Kids do say the sweetest things! I teach kindergarten and I hear lots of sweet treasures all day. The best yet was when one of my kinders said, Mrs Chalker, I love you bigger than Jesus! She also told me I smelled like an angel once. Melt my heart. Sweet!  Today was the daddy daughter dance for my man and his little girl–and it was Loo-bear’s FIRST daddy daughter dance EVER. Sweetness. Of course procrastination mommy waited until today to buy her a dress…so after we finished our school work today, we loaded up and while the babes were in preschool–we hit a few stores. […] What a super sweet gift God gave you in unexpectedly sort of ‘shortening’ your time…not that it really is…but in making it feel like it is! That’s so cool! And He can absolutely do May, too! And what a precious evening it sounds like you each had on your ‘dates’ – the one at school and the one at home! I have 4 grown daughters and know those feelings that you experienced when dress shopping with them. My oldest daughter always picked out prints that contained the color black. I protested, but my husband gently told me to allow her to be whom God had created her to be. He was such a wise man! All 4 of my daughters are unique and different in personality….lovely and beautiful inside and out. They are my greatest blessings! I don’t think I’ve ever commented but I LOVE your blog and I follow you on Facebook… So excited for you! I can’t wait until we are there, our homestudy is done and we are anxiously awaiting our I800A approval. Eeek! Following you makes me realize that this will actually happen and all this waiting is worth it! 🙂 So thank you and keep the good news coming! 🙂 it’s been a full january…and we have 1 of 2 created for care adoption momma retreats under our belts. IT WAS ANOTHER AMAZING RETREAT! we had tona ottinger, carissa woodwyk and amy monroe share during the main sessions and about 20 AMAZING mommas come share for breakouts. it really was an amazing retreat. the day […] Believing with you for a miracle! Can’t wait to ‘meet’ sweet little Zeke! Oh how you sweet boy touch my heart today! My husband and I are awaiting the birth of our sweet boy in May through adoption. Thank you for your blog and the song …MADE MY DAY!!! I have been reading your blog for over 2 years, but never taken the time to comment, though often I am blown away by what we seem to have in common. So, today I end my blog-stalking! I remember laying on the couch in pre-term labor with my twins and my 2 year old daughter got her plastic guitar and started singing that song to me. It was God’s perfect message for me that day. |
