A week has gone by

Well, it has been a week. So far, no blood, but some tears.
Evan has had the hardest time getting used to us. He likes to hit and bite when stressed. It has been challenging to say the least. Evanie has been is most frequent target, but Ari, YaYa and some kids [...]

Receiving pumpkins and building a church

Well, the annual pumpkin patch will start this weekend. It begins with a (not large enough) group of us from St. Margaret’s unload about 1600-1800 pumpkins.
This takes about two hours.
So, what are we doing for a break this year? Well, I am glad you asked. We are having Bishop Lillibridge come over [...]

The first morning

Well, the first morning is here and almost gone. We have been up since just after 6AM. The kids asked and we told them they could get up at 6:30AM. Amazing. Actually telling a child to stay in bed until they are allowed to get up.
It also seems Evan is strongly [...]

The kids are here

Well, it has been quite an eventful evening. The children arrived about 3PM and were in the mood for noise. Not exactly what we are used to around here. The Child Protective Services (CPS) and Lutheran Social Services (LSS) workers were very understanding. It helped that they had a gentle touch. [...]

Me brain is almost on fire

I’m so tired that I am typing with a phony Irish accent.
Can you hear it?

Third Day – All the Heavens

I haven’t enjoyed God’s presence like this in quite some time. It’s really my fault. He hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s up to me to stay close. Why the, have I made it so hard? I’m not sure. But, I can tell you this, He is faithful indeed. I [...]

Burlap to Cashmere

Weird name, I know. But, I find that as I age, I like the songs even more. Of course, I still love Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Yeah, BIBLE.
Still, nothing compares to Kirk Franklin’s STOMP!

Evan’s room is almost ready

I am sitting here at 1AM getting some work done for clients. Yeah, I managed to keep two of them after leaving Weblings. I am glad it is not more. This is all I can handle.
Anyway, we cleaned up the room and I am working on the papers that have inhabited the [...]

Charlie is such a whiner

That dog whines every time we put him in the kennel.  Even when he know we are nearby.  Maybe that makes it worse, but really folks.  Is it that bad to stay inside the house and not be allowed to take off?
Sheesh!
 

We got started on Evan’s room

Well, the heavy lifting (no pun intended) is all but done. The bed is in the room. But, now I need to to deal with the sea of cords and cables that are left behind. I see this as an excuse to go visit CompUSA. I need some stuff from them [...]
