If we aren’t friends on Facebook, and I haven’t seen you at a playdate this week, you may have missed the fact that we received a call on Wednesday that we’ve been assigned a COURT DATE for our son! We’re still waiting to hear when our daughter’s court date is and praying that it is...
Movin’ Up!
Back in January, we started Tae Kwon Do classes–all of us. Besides the fact it’s great for physical fitness and discipline, I love that we can all do it together. Our Do Jang offers family classes, and they do a great job of managing a class of multiple levels. Every last Saturday of the month...

We are excited to announce that we have been matched with 2 unrelated children, one boy and one girl, both approximately 14 years of age. That is about all we can disclose until we pass court in Ethiopia and they are legally Corkums. So now what? We wait to be assigned a court date which...
