"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

FFF........."Wet"

While I was looking for WET pics,
I came across this CUTE pic of Ana!
She was about 4, and was playing
"Anne of Green Gables"-
I just had to include this!

Natty & his cousin Noah......bathing after a
particularly messy meal at my Mom's two months ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But, the following picture represented something HUGE for me.
Ana has gone to Bible camp every year of her life.
Family camp with her daddy & I.
In July of 2006, we got Ruth's referal 2 weeks before camp.
It was important to me to have some *part* of Ruth there.......& I subjected everyone there to pictures of her in a plastic sleave.


To me, this picture represented a HOST of dreams on the verge of being fulfilled.
(a sister for Ana, another little girl for us.......prayers we had fervently prayed since Ana was 2-we were FINALLY seeing the answer to)
It was like........I KNEW she would be there the next year, IN PERSON.
& she was!!!!
(she was super crabby & sick her first week of camp, but in 2007, she was there!!!)
Ana was playing in the Gasconade River here.
I know many of you have pics like this-
that capture such signifcant times & emotions.
I would love to hear about yours!

I love that first photo of Ana- I knew exactly what was going on =) Charlie and his brothers have never seen Anne of Green Gables! But Lorien and I are going to change that (for Charlie at least).

Kim & Dave said...

Anna!!!! Super exciting!!! Praying for God's perfect timing!

Sara-Well, in some ways I'm not too surprised Charlie hasn't seen it! Maybe you & Jenny could have a movie fest with your hubbys & at least have two of the brothers covered!!! :D
