Keeping up with the keith's. Sunday, October 13, 2013. On a jet plane! When we found out that we were leaving for Thailand the countdown was 13 days. 8230;as of today the countdown is 4 days! The past 9 days have FLOWN by…very fast and we are hopeful that the last 4 days will go as quickly. There has been much to do:. Book plane tickets – check! Book our hotel – check! Pull all our legal adoption paperwork – check! Find a floor length skirt for our board meeting – check! Black maxi skirt and on clearance!

Keeping up with the keith's. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Picture dump…consider yourself warned. We needed to get away for the weekend to celebrate Lincoln’s birthday and it just so happened that AJ had a choir festival. In Chicago so we went to see her and then spent the weekend in the windy city. Here is where i can tell you all about how perfect it was. I love having just our family, all snuggled in together, doing our thing, whatever we want, making memories. The windy city was rainy but we pressed on.

Keeping up with the keith's. Friday, October 26, 2012. Ever get bored with your recipes? But need to take care of your fam. Plan your weekly menu. Wonder what other people cook? I needed some new inspiration. So I went to the super highway off all things these days. And picked out a few new recipes to try. And I’m super excited to try them. Here is a little glimpse into our menu for this week. Yes, my life is glamorous, I know! I am making white pizza dip to take with me. Baja pork tacos/chips and salsa.

keeping up with the keith's: the unfamiliar
http://thekeithfam.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-unfamiliar.html
Keeping up with the keith's. Saturday, January 10, 2015. I’ve pondered the words: unfamiliar diagnosis a lot. There is something in naming a diagnosis, isnt’ there? Cancer, Leukemia, Diabetes, Hodgkin’s, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Alzheimer’s. My heart breaks at how familiar these words have become. It often feels like we hear these words daily. So then what happens with the unfamiliar? The words “no cure” in the patients lifetime steal the oxygen out of the room. The words “no treatment...For almost a year n...

Keeping up with the keith's. Friday, May 31, 2013. A day to remember. The night was perfect. Cool with a little breeze. He held my hand knowing that without his touch I may have lost it. We exchanged the look. How could we be here already? We watched as she sat there with reserve and maturity. Our baby girl who wore pink and ribbons was now in a cap and gown awaiting her name to be called:. And with grace and dignity she walked across the stage, shook the principals hand and accepted her diploma. The plu...

Keeping up with the keith's. Monday, September 10, 2012. My poor blog has been so ignored this summer. Stay tuned for lots of mini-posts in the very near future! Many of you have been asking us for an adoption update so here it goes. Our dossier has been in Thailand for 5 looooooooong months and is sitting on a gov’t desk. What does that mean? Well, there is one gal. Yes you read that right. ONE person who looks at all the adoption files for the whole country of Thailand. Being adopted in Thailand. Why I...

Keeping up with the keith's. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. July 2, 2012. It was an all-out Army Bash! For G’s 8. Birthday he decided he wanted all things camo. In honor of his Uncle Jeremy who is in the army and graduating from basic next week! Jeremy left the first of May to begin basic and then to go on to Officer Training School. We are all so very proud of him! The boys arrived and were given their helmet and dog tags. They ate grub in the mess hall. G opened his “packages from home”. Nerf guns were loaded.

Keeping up with the keith's. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Do you ever just know, in your knower, that you are in a season? What is this season's purpose. How long will I linger here. Am I learning all God has to teach me in this season. Will I exit this season changed. How badly will the change hurt. In the wee hours this morning, David and I were reflecting on this season. We don't usually "reflect" in the wee hours but a certain thai boy was up with a hacking cough). Linc was VERY sick for a solid week.
