La Familia VanderMaas: May 2015
http://vandermaasfamily.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Colombia en mi Corazon. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. The Value of Living in Community. Taking a family whose kiddos were born in this land also has many heart issues to deal with.our kids are going to see some very hard, and parts of some of their roots are going to be revealed in an eye opening way, so, we need to be prepared to walk them through this.we don't take this lightly.we covet your prayers! This past weekend, along with the last few months, it's like God is saying, "I've got this." And HE so does.

Colombia en mi Corazon. Friday, July 10, 2015. Our Colombian Journey with Isabel.the Firstborn! Mom, aren't you going to blog about my story? Isabel's life did that. A complete miracle. The miracle of life that healed so much of my heart just by her presence.I was now a mom, and she was my daughter. God put my feet on a rock and gave me a new song to sing! Well, I actually know quite a few people now who do.and we did.and best decision we've ever made (after God, marriage, and adopting: ). I've been aske...

Colombia en mi Corazon. Friday, March 12, 2010. Feliz Cumpleanos, Silas! Today Silas turned 5 years old! It was his special day. His request."no girl things and no girls allowed! So, that is what it was.he chose to watch his favorite movie, "Cars" and take a friend to Craigs Cruisers for a few hours. He was hilarious, and totally enjoyed his few hours of just being with the boys (and mommy- he told me that I was ok to come along only if I drove fast on the race cars). Silas is such a gift from God! Trust...

La Familia VanderMaas: December 2011
http://vandermaasfamily.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Colombia en mi Corazon. Friday, December 2, 2011. My heart is full as I ponder celebrating our 2 little girls tomorrow and their special adoption day! I'd love to tell you this has been the easiest year of our lives! That would not be accurate! It has been a year of experiencing the fullness of His grace, drinking in the Living Water! Yup, that's way more accurate! So my heart is grateful as I sit and reflect on all that God has done and is doing among us! She expresses herself sooo good! John and her c...

Colombia en mi Corazon. Saturday, April 3, 2010. School got out.and where did we head? Well, it wasn't to Florida or any where too exciting. Colombia soaked up all our vacation time and fund.so, we stayed home! Who would have thought that the first day of spring break in Michigan would be a beach day! That's right.73 degrees and a nice hazy sun.Caroline was in her glory! This is definitely going to be one of her favorite things to do during the summer. Silas ran around non stop the whole time.

Colombia en mi Corazon. Sunday, October 10, 2010. Summer was .a much needed time be together and grow together as a family! It was not always easy.some days were really difficult. But, by the end of August it felt like we had turned a huge corner and our family life feels much more natural (or normal-if there is a normal) than it did in days previous! Below, Isabel's first day of 2nd grade with Maestra Koop! Wowhas she grown up in the last 10 month! Caroline continues to amaze me! The big question was do...
