Here are some random quick thoughts to help update:Jude is……enjoying the snow! He loves to be outside, and the cold doesn’t bother him a bit.…growing! He’s gained five pounds and a couple of inches since he got home – we love hand-me-down clothes! He’s grown out of his 18 month clothing and into a 2T…and […]

So, What’s Next?
No doubt about it: job loss affects every aspect of your life whether you are an athletic or the family. Ranging from financial to social to physical to emotional. A job loss hurts! You really liked the people you worked with and will miss them. It’s very lonely being by your self all day. Your job was a way to show the world your independence and the ability to take care of yourself and family. My job was my future, so, what’s next?
Jude Sees the First Snow
All Sorts of Wild Fun!
Sorry for the delay in posting! I’m just getting operational again after the hard drive crash. Check the previous posts, as I added a couple of photos. We’re still working to recover the rest of our photos, but in the meantime… By way of update, Jude continues to adjust very well. Aside from us, he’s […]
Fly Away Home…
We had a wonderful experience while in Haiti. If you are looking for an organization to support, GLA is worthy of every penny or prayer. It’s a wonderful place. We were able to tour the orphanage while we were there, and the nanny’s love the little ones so very much. There are so many babies…Jude was mostly […]
Adjustments for baby….
For being here just a week, Jude is doing well, but overall he’s had some challenges adjusting. He feels very safe in our house with Matthew and I, but anytime we go out of the house with him to visit church or anything else, we generally can expect a major episode either that day or […]
Oh, The Tales We Could Tell…
We are back from Haiti. There wasn’t much time to post to the blog while we were there, so now my mind is in overdrive trying to decide what to tell you all because there’s so much. Maybe I’ll post it little by little…We’re so thankful to all of you for your donations for GLA; They […]
Get on the Airplane – Fly Away!

Getting Packed – Donations, Donations, Donations!
Well, we’re starting to get our heads together a bit, and we’d like to send out a last call for donations. We have quite a few items that we’re taking along (see the photo – the left is Jude’s, the right is donations!). However, we’ve been asked what the orphanage still needs in terms of […]
Praises and Prayers
Good Morning Friends and Family – As we prepare to travel, we want to share our hearts with you all in terms of praises and prayer requests in the hope that you will join us in them in the coming days. We thank God for: Already having a visa, so soon after the orphan investigation […]
Time to Go!
Hi All! Here’s what we thought would happen: a message telling us how the orphan investigation went, then another message in a couple of weeks with travel dates a couple of weeks out from that.Here’s what actually happened: a message today with travel dates of 9/18 – 9/20! Jude’s visa is complete…apparently on the same day […]
