Our House: March 2015
http://doloski.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. A Blog Giveaway. . . We were able to add more than $600 to our adoption fund as a result of our Facebook auction! Thank you to everyone who bid, who donated, and who shared the link. And now. . . because we had a few items that seemed to warrant an event all their own, I'm hosting a giveaway/fundraiser. . . First, the details. . . and I'm keeping it VERY simple. A $10 donation earns ONE entry into the drawing.

As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15. Monday, June 29, 2015. God's Will (or, "Thanks, I'm trying! On February 23, 2012, I wrote these words about 18 hours after I had taken custody of Joshua:. Michael and I were told by some who have been following our story that we are "amazing" or "incredible." We are neither. We are obedient to God's will for our lives as we understand it. And in that obedience we have become, once again, incredibly blessed.". And I said, "No I'm not.".

Our House: Adoption is. . .
http://doloski.blogspot.com/2015/07/adoption-is.html
As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15. Saturday, July 11, 2015. Adoption is. . . Last week, in one of the adoption groups to which I belong, another member asked folks to finish the statement, "Adoption is. . .". At one time, during Joshua's adoption, I compared the process to riding a runaway roller coaster without a safety harness. Have you ever ridden Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom? Exhilarating and disconcerting all at the same time. Adoption is a great many things.

When it reaches $5,156...We'd ...
