"Common Ground": my little corner of the blogosphere where I talk (a lot-wink) about the things that matter most to me: My relationship with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, homeschooling, adoption, homemaking, parenting, "spousing." (yeah, yeah....I know that's not a word.....I made it up-it’s my blog-I can do things like that! Ha!)
Since my life isn’t all that different from yours, hopefully we can find some COMMON GROUND & learn from each other. Please share your thoughts!
Through the Lords’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!
Lam. 3: 22 & 23
Let's see...what do you want to know about us? We are a family of five......whose kids joined the family through birth & adoption. This blog started when we were adopting for the second time.....but now, it has become journal of our lives together! Sometimes entertaining, sometimes sad, sometimes thought-provoking (at least for me, ha!! ha!!!).
Thanks for joining us on this ride!
Friends From All Over! Join up & see YOUR picture here, too!
The Three Wonders Of OUR World! (y mis hijos preciosos!)
Our Family (Nuestra familia)
"An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown
Our Lawyer had us over for lunch today. She is the 2nd person from the left.
ETA: (oops, I mean the right!!!) Todo la Familia Dillon Mapa en Relive de Guatemala

Great pics, but I know I'm not the only one dying to see more and/or read a new update!!! ;) I know you all must be trying to readjust to being a family again and to having a new member. Just wanted you to know that I've been thinking of you and so have many over at SL.
