Grafting and Grace: June 2011
http://graftingandgrace.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 25, 2011. This is the Day the Lord has Made. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! This was the verse we used at our wedding 4 years ago. We chose it because we felt that God had set that day aside for Tim and I from the beginning of time. He ordained that day to be the day we gave our lives to each other until death do us part. Here is an excerpt:. We pray for wisdom. Your voice to hear. And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near. Our birthparents are ...

Grafting and Grace: October 2010
http://graftingandgrace.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Praise you Lord for being in control! Wednesday, October 20, 2010. When God Closes a Door. She is going to grow up in a broken home, being carted back and forth between birthparents. I know God's plan is to prosper and not to harm. but it is hard to see that in this situation. At this point, the agency is no longer pursuing an adoption case. They don't want to do anything that could damage the birthmom in a custody battle. That in itself is frustrating as well! Our potential ...

Grafting and Grace: The Legacy of an Adopted Child
http://graftingandgrace.blogspot.com/2011/06/legacy-of-adopted-child.html
Monday, June 20, 2011. The Legacy of an Adopted Child. I can't read or even type up this poem without sobbing! It was in a book we are required by our agency to read titled "Dear Birthmother". It is the perfect words to explain the legacy that both a birthmother and an adoptive mother give to their child. I hope it opens your eyes to the beauty of adoption! The Legacy of an Adopted Child -. Once there were two women. Who never knew each other. One you do not remember. The other you call mother.

Grafting and Grace: July 2010
http://graftingandgrace.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 11, 2010. One thing I have really enjoyed this summer is swimming with Little Bug! She wasn't to fond of the swimming pool earlier in the season. the water was a little cool for her. But, once the outside temperature went up, so did the water temp. Bug loves to splash and play in the water! This was the first pool we got for her, which she enjoyed until she figured out she could crawl right out of it! Walking in the water with Granddaddy. Chillin' after a fun day at the pool. :).

Captivated. Devoted.: September 2010
http://mongolharris.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Book List for 2011. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Books of the Week. Today is library day. that means we have to return somewhere around 20 very good books. That makes me sad, BUT it also means that we can pick up more books ;} Hooray! One book that I picked up three weeks ago is Jim Trelease's book The Read-Aloud Handbook. What an inspirational book! I would highly recommend it to every parent, grandparent, nanny, babysitter, teacher - well, anyone. Who cares for kids! There was once a baby who had no mo...

Captivated. Devoted.: February 2012
http://mongolharris.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Book List for 2011. Monday, February 13, 2012. My, oh my. It has been a year since my fingers flew into a frenzy on this little blogosphere. And I can't honestly say that it's been time that's lacking and thus the hiding out. I've just been, well. hiding out. So I think a new dawn has come and I'm ready once again to write about the good, the bad, and the ugly as it relates to every day life as a mother of two girls and wife of one man who has found himself surrounded by lots of female drama.

Book List for 2011. Saturday, January 15, 2011. Bears, Monkeys, and Bunnies. We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. Adventure. Suspense. Quality family time. This books is definitely one of our favorites! I don't have it memorized yet (my Down's sister has had it memorized since she was about 8 yrs old) but I know I will soon. What does Ellie think about it? What does the Mom think about it? We've got to go through it! What does Ellie think about it? It's great....

Book List for 2011. Monday, July 12, 2010. This first trimester is just like classic pregnancy. Sick. Heartburn. Exhausted. Sick. Etc. We go in to see the midwives on Wednesday. Last time the heartrate was 175. And there's a debate in our house over this baby's sex. Daddy said that he is the one who determines those things and the final answer is: IT'S A BOY. BUT. I'm a skeptic. Could I really be this hormonal with a boy? But I stepped on the scale today and there we had it - a huge sigh of relief. M...

Grafting and Grace: Adoption - Not Much to Tell / DNow - Pics
http://graftingandgrace.blogspot.com/2011/02/adoption-not-much-to-tell-dnow-pics.html
Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Adoption - Not Much to Tell / DNow - Pics. I'm trying to update once a month unless something exciting happens, then I will tell you right away! I mean, we are already paying them $1000 a month, and we barely have two pennies to rub together after that! Oh well. we will continue to trust in God! Since that was a rather short and uneventful adoption update, I thought I would update you on some fun happenings around here! Cleaning tables at a fast food place. 65279;ʌ...

Grafting and Grace: December 2010
http://graftingandgrace.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 13, 2010. Back in the Saddle. We bathed her in prayer, came up with names, started imagining what our life would be like with her in it, and then, just as quickly as she came into our life, she was gone. And even though I will probably never see her face, she will still have a piece of my heart! I praise the Lord for her brave mother who is working so hard to give her a good life, in spite of the circumstances! Each baby and birthmother needs our prayers and love, regardless of whether t...
