http://keeplookingupward.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
I try to avoid looking forward and backward, and try to keep looking upward." Charlotte Bronte. Friday, December 26, 2008. I think I've been party hopping for three days straight now! One included an overnight. Today was Boxing Day. If you don't know what that is, don't feel badly, I didn't either just two years ago, and now it is a new family tradition! And today, I had a really, really bad idea. I thought I'd go to the mall and check out a new store that cousin Kayla has been telling me about. This mor...

Adventures with our little Annie! Sunday, August 29, 2010. End of the Summer. Is it just me, or did summer fly by? We had a great time- so many wonderful visitors and a trip of our own to visit family! We had plenty of picnics, took plenty of walks and made plenty of memories as a new family of three.

Adventures with our little Annie! Sunday, January 24, 2010. I want to apologize for NEVER updating my blog.especially to my Grandaddy. He told me he checks my blog every morning.

I uploaded a little video tour of the nursery. Thanks for making the trip, ladies! Each day I like one of the three names more than the other and I am convi...

Joel and Elizabeth: Happy Halloween!
http://joelandelizabeth.blogspot.com/2010/10/happy-halloween.html
Adventures with our little Annie! Sunday, October 31, 2010. I love our town on Halloween night! Everyone gets really creative with their costumes and the sidewalks overflow with families! So, while I am sitting in my family room passing out my SIXTH bag of candy to our trick-or-treater's, I thought that I would take this opportunity to show a few pictures from Annie's first Halloween. Getting ready to carve our pumpkins. Annie with her pumpkin. Our little lion checking out the finished product.

Our Story: adoption thoughts
http://jacobandkristin.blogspot.com/2013/05/adoption-thoughts.html
May my living be grace to those behind me. Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Many of you know that we’ve talked about international adoption for years now. I’ve been passionate about international development, about extreme poverty, and about orphans for as long as I can remember. That passion is what led me to a career in international development, and towards our always-present thoughts about adoption and our family. I read this quote recently and I think it perfectly sums up my heart behind that discomfort:.

May my living be grace to those behind me. Tuesday, August 5, 2014. Lessons from the week before kindergarten. Kate started Kindergarten yesterday. Big transitions going on at our house. As usual, I wrote about some of them but didn't post yet. So, here's one I wrote last week. during our last week home together before school started. It sure is for me. But it seems to be true. I know we'll build a new normal together. of school drop-offs and pick-ups, and field trips, and special days off. I'm l...It's ...

Joel and Elizabeth: Quick Little Clip!
http://joelandelizabeth.blogspot.com/2010/07/quick-little-clip.html
Adventures with our little Annie! Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Look at Annie's new trick! She's not quite sitting on her own. I am guessing that will take another month or so but she's getting so close! Oh, and I apologize for my gum-smacking sounds in the background. The microphone on our camera is so sensitive, I feel like it picks up every little noise! Posted by Elizabeth Koehler. I squealed with delight to see another video of Annie. I am SO impressed with her sitting capabilities! She looks so happy, too.
