Welcome To/Bienvenidos A......: Summer Lovin!

"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

Summer Lovin!

What a grand adventure!

Love those cousins & aunties

(or "tias" as we say in Espanol!)

Just as an aside-Ruthie can already say all my sister's families names-

& they have only been here a month or so!

Super smart???? We think so! (wink!)

Ruth turns one (oops-I mean TWO!!!!) today,

so here is my "Summer Lovin" favorite of her right now!

I love all your photos too.

That verse from Psalms in your TBTT post is a great one. I needed to read that as we are having to make some big decisions right now so thanks for sharing that.
