We’ve decided once and for all to make getting healthy one of our goals as a family. We have made this decision many times in the past, but eventually fall back into our old bad habits.

Marcie and Drama Queen
Drama Queen had a visit with her birth mom yesterday and it went really well. We had been unable to arrange a visit for almost a year due to coordinating schedules, etc., but now that Marcie has moved closer to us again it makes things easier for everyone. We met for [...]

We were very blessed to be able to get the three girls together for a visit this past Friday, we met at the mall and had lunch and then did some shopping together. It was really incredible to see how much the girls have missed each other, they haven’t been [...]

Zachary horseback riding (You can see the pure joy in his face!)

What does it really mean to have a heart for God? That’s a question I’m pondering tonight. Do I really have a heart for God, or am I just going through the motions, doing what’s expected of me as a Christian?
I would like to think that I am totally sold out to Him, and I [...]
