"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

A Blast From the Past!

Wow!
My kiddos have changed, haven’t they?
These pics of Ana were taken at one week old.

The only pics we have in the hospital make me look like I had been in a fight
(oh, wait, maybe that’s because I had been!!)
So, you don’t get to see them.





Well, if you really want to, come to my house
& ask Ana to show you her baby book……while I’m gone, please!



Ana had horrible jaundice when she came home,
& we had to have her under lights for about 48 hours.

Refferal pictures of Ruth,
with sweet Mama Anna holding her.

Natty, in his refferal pictures.
This was my favorite picture.
His tiny little fingers up next to his face!

This one is special as well,

since Mama Ana is holding him!

Whew!

What a busy week it's been!
Can't wait to show you pics of the new carpet,
but tonight I am just to worn out to do it!


Oh, & some GREAT news!!!
My friend Amy had her baby tonight,
& I can't wait to show you pics of him either,
but I forgot to take my camera to the hospital!!!!

Word-filled Wednesday! :-)

Do you ever have things you dread doing, but go ahead & do because you know you will love it once you get going?

Every year since Ana was about 2, we have gone to the Colorado Balloon Classic early one morning over Labor Day Weekend.

Early.

I mean, leave the house at 6:15.

WHAT WERE WE THINKING?!?!?

Falling Asleep

But, as we are sitting on the damp grass, listening to the hustle & bustle of the crowd & the gas fires filling the balloons, & the massive fans blowing air into them as well, a feeling of contentment washes over me every year, & I am so glad we did it, yet again.

How about you?

The End of an Era......

Do things like car-seat graduation make YOU a bit sad?
Our baby is growing up.

An Experiment.......

In Black & White........
What do you think?
I don't have any photo editing software,
so this was done online.



This is my absolute favorite!!!!
I love old-looking pictures!

What is your favorite photo-editing software?
