"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

Thursdays Before the Throne

"Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom."
Psalm 90:12
My prayer these last few days has been that I would realized that none of us are guaranteed tomorrow-& to live TODAY with that wisdom.

To ask myself, “Lord, what would you have me to do today?”

Just Spent a Wonderful Few Days With Dave's Parents.

Dave’s parents came out for the girls’ ballet recital, which was Saturday.
(Tune in later this week for pics & the run-down on that!)

The kids were all loved & doted on……..& enjoyed every minute of it!

Thank you both for loving our kids, praying for them &
being so supportive that you drove all the way out for their recital!

We love you!

D, K, A, R & N

What a Great Weekend!!!

But, would you believe, I forgot to take any pictures!!!

Dave gave me a lot of time without kids…….but the best part of it was-that the kids were SOOOO excited when they saw me again!

I like that about being a mom.

Somebody misses you when you’re not around.

Someone whose sun rises & sets on you.

Yes……I’m lucky to have 4 people who love me this much, wouldn’t you agree?

Picture from last year’s Pick Up trip with Natty.
Feb. ’08
My first few days of being a mom of three.

(Please pray for Natty-who is outside with his daddy at the moment.
Yes, he seems to have another bout of croup.
Next, it will be inside for the hot, steamy bathroom.
Poor baby.
Yes, this is part of being a mommy, too.)
