This morning I filed Ty’s finalization paperwork. For Korean adoptions, one does not adopt in country but Korea actually transfers guardianship to our agency. The actual legal adoption takes place about 6 months after placement. We had our last post placement visit yesterday which allowed us to file today. Now we just sit and pray […]

Gold!
Two years ago, I listened to a presentation by Renee Swope on Mining for Gold in the Heart of Your Child at a Hearts At Home conference. It was all about focusing less on our children’s faults and more on the “gold” in their hearts, lives, days, etc. Although I have acknowledged the larger nuggets […]
If life were perfect…
…Ty would sit still long enough to complete a audiology evaluation and we would not have to go back in 6 months to make sure he can hear low pitches. …Ty would stay awake at 10:20AM in the car for 10 minutes and then nap at the appropriate time later in the day. …Ty would […]
He speaks
Ty has made amazing strides in the area of verbalization recently and we’re thrilled! We are so thrilled that he can talk back and demand “Ty do” in any give situation. Not that we don’t want to foster independence. It’s just that it’s not always possible or convenient. We are thrilled that he can announce […]
Hindsight
“Hindsight is 20/20” they say. Who is they, anyway? I received a packet in the mail last week that caused me to pause long enough to look at Ty’s adoption story in hindsight. And in 20/20 vision, I saw God’s handwriting all over it. Remember how I already mentioned other ways that he’s a miracle […]
Tri and Ty
Yes, I have a slight love affair with alliteration. Moving on…triathlon training season officially came to end with my participation in the North East Triathlon. I did the sprint distance (750m swim, 15.5 mi bike, and 3.1 mi run). I was hoping to come in under 2 hours. I came REALLY close at 2:01:51. Kudos […]
Pudding
They say “proof’s in the pudding.” Here’s proof that PJ is indeed riding a bicycle (sans training wheels). I never got footage of him on the little 12″ bike that he actually learned on. We upgraded to his old Spider Man bike and put training wheels on the 12″ bike for Mia. Note: One needs 12″ training […]
Foto Friday
Please excuse me while I kill two birds with one stone again. I’ve been wanting to write a post (or two, or three…) about photography since a lot of you have been asking. And it’s also Foto Friday. So allow me to share some photos while I (hopefully) help you take better pictures. Like I […]
