Prayers Please!

 
This morning I got a call from my mom.  My uncle Lee was rushed to emergency yesterday and had to undergo emergency surgery.  Right now he is in ICU, and the next 48 hours are quite critical.  He was already weak before the surgery, so he’s got an uphill battle ahead of him.  I’d appreciate your [...]

God’s Promises

Tonight was such an interesting and exhilarating experience for me.  As Logan was winding down for bed, I happened to look outside and saw the most beautiful rainbow.  I said ‘Logan, Look’ and I pointed out the window and the most amazing thing happened.  Logan started squealing with delight and jumping up and down.  Then [...]

Had a Blast!

Last night Steve and I headed over to Guelph and stayed at Norfolk Guest House.  For those of you who need to be in Guelph, whether for business or personal reasons, I HIGHLY recommend this B & B.  The place is gorgeous, and the beds incredibly comfortable.  How many places can you go that have memory [...]

This face says it all!

Happy Birthday Emma!!

Today our baby girl turns 1!  Wow, I just can’t believe how quickly this year has gone.  The beginning 6 months of her life seemed to go so slowly, and the past 6 months flew by in the blink of an eye.  She has been so awesome lately.  We are really enjoying watching her develop into [...]

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mother’s Day: Mothers Lie
By Lori Borgman
Expectant mothers waiting for a newborn’s arrival say they don’t care what

Every mother wants so much more.
She wants a perfectly healthy baby with a round head, rosebud lips, button
nose, beautiful eyes and satin skin.
She wants [...]

The Weaver

 The Weaver
by Benjamin Malacia Franklin

My Life is but a weaving
between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the under side.
Not til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark [...]

Tapestry of Life…

I am continuing to process all of what has been happening in the recent days and weeks.   I have moments of sadness, moments of confusion, and moments of relief.  In all of these emotions, I have an eerie sense of peace.  A peace that I believe is the “peace that passes all understanding”.  I have [...]

Update :(

This will be brief.  It turns out the birth parents are going to work towards getting Faith back, cleaning up their lives etc. and because we live 4 hours away, they wouldn’t have the access to her that they are entitled.  So she will be staying with a foster family in Niagara and not with [...]

Update

We have been thrown a curveball on this whole process with finding a safe haven for Faith Ann (her parents decided to name her, so Arwen got vitoed).   Please continue to pray for the situation.  For Faith, for her parents, and for us as a family.  This is a complicated, messy and stressful situation.  We’ll [...]
