James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their distress."
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Happy Easter

It is time to dye Easter eggs and wait for the Easter bunny! Again, the kids put up with Mom and her silly traditions, but I know they never had these opportunities prior to joining our family so I like to add as much as I can now for as long as I can! 

In all seriousness though, we are thankful through all the mess of emotions and challenges we have faced with adoption parenting that all three kids are Christians and enjoy church. You never know what each day will hold so we will just keep going! Happy Easter!

Spring Break in Carlsbad

 It is time for our annual spring break trip to Carlsbad Beach in California. We have a timeshare at the Tamarack Beach Resort and look forward to going every year. The kids thrive on routine and tradition. They know once we get settled in we always take a walk on the beach and half to pose for some pictures the first night before we go to dinner! Dinner the first night is always pizza and then off to the grocery store for any essential items we did not bring with us.
