"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

Grrrr....

I know I told you in my comments that our camera ATE over 300 pictures!
But, it took me this long to face it enough to actually post about it!
SOOOOO frustrating!
It seems the chip has the info on it still, but we can't get to it!
Pictures of the room,
the view from our veranda,
pictures of AMAZING flowers,
the kids beaches,
fun ones of Dave & I,
pictures of "The Black Pearl" (for all you "Pirates" fans),
Nassau,
and much, much more.
Can I say "Grrrr" one more time?!?!?
(But, maybe for you it's good.
At least now you won't have to endure days on end of me posting pics of out trip!
Ha!! Ha!!!)
This was the other Disney ship, the "Magic."
It was unloading passengers as we drove into Port Canavaral.
A few hours later, it was headed out to sea.
Blows my mind that Disney has that much business!
A ship leaves that port at least 3 times a week with at least 2,000 people on it!


While I loved the cruise both times we took it,
I just can't see it as being THAT popular,
but I guess it is!

Yes, this was our mode of transportation on land!

Anybody jealous???




There are no words to decribe how nice this was!

Just me & my hubby!


See the dark cloud hanging over the island?
A few minutes later, rain poured on our heads!
An early return to the ship!
But, after three days of quiet......you know, I REALLY started missing the kids!
(I missed them a bit the whole time, but by then, I was ready to go home!)


Do you ever take a picture of someone & think,
"Wow, that looks NOTHING like the person I know!"
That is this picture of Ana for me!

Ok......I feel a tiny bit better after letting you all know I have almost no pics of our trip. Confession must be good for the soul!

Stop the World's Spinning!!! I Want OFF!!! ;-)

We got back Thursday night.


The cruise was thouroughly delighful, & we enjoyed our time away.....
However, the last night on ship (Wednesday night),
we entered waters the captian reffered to as moderately rough.
Yeah......water was sloshing out of the pools.
I'm sure it was moderate for him, but my world is still spinning!


Thank the Lord, my stomach was never upset,
but I felt like I was going to fall over unless I was flat on the bed with my eyes closed!! Fortunately, the rough water was only basically while we were getting ready for bed.

But, all that to say,
does anyone know how I can speed up the return of my "land legs?"
I can barely function!
Thanks!

One of my FAVORITES....

I like it cause we are all in the pic &
looking at the camera!
I know I sound like a broken record-
But HOW, I ask you,
can we get a pic where everyone is looking at the camera-
& not looking only 1/2 awake?!?!?

Test Update!!!!

I talked with the doctor who ordered Natty’s test.
What she told me came from the kidney doc.

Apparently, the kidney specialist thinks that Natty just has a bit of trouble processing glucose out of his urine. He thinks it is a condition that he should outgrow, but that he may need to be aware of it as he grows older, especially if he ever is at risk for diabetes.

Right now, we are supposed to keep an eye on him,
& let the doc know if he stops gaining weight,
or starts becoming excessively thirsty,
as these can be signs of diabetes.

The test for Renal Tubal Acidosis came back normal,
so that is no longer a concern.

Breathing a big sigh of relief,
Natty's mama is signing off!!!

Wordless Wednesday....
