What innocence. 8)"Poop" is what Helena text to one of the PTA contacts off of my iPhone. While I mistakenly let her play with it. Oops! Onto Blake with no...

Greg had a meeting, Reagan had a test and Parker had his FIRST ever field trip and there was no way I was going to deny him that joy! Links to this post. Saturday, March 21, 2009.

The Mottly Crew: My Good Samaritan
http://journeytolayla.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-good-samaritan.html
Greg, Chris, Blake, Reagan, Parker, Caitlin and Helena. Monday, May 17, 2010. This week Reagan gave me that moment. We had been in Austin visiting the capital with his 4 th. Grade class and the whole time, his posse which I was in charge of, was on a mission to find the gift shop for some cold hard candy and then the Starbucks for a Frappuccino. Graders in the pursuit of candy. I am sure not quite the souvenir. Around the corner, but there again he chooses to pass. He has some good teachers : ). You and ...

http://journeytolayla.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Greg, Chris, Blake, Reagan, Parker, Caitlin and Helena. Wednesday, November 11, 2009. A Day with Helena. So today once I finished my run it was time to unleash the beast, Helena that is. She has been so good for me while I ran so I let her loose. So we ran, hopped, climbed trees, and twirled again and again and again (actually she did all the twirling). If there was a contest for that she would definitely win! Links to this post. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Currnt time in Ethiopia.

The Mottly Crew: Getting to the Heart of Parker
http://journeytolayla.blogspot.com/2010/04/getting-to-heart-of-parker.html
Greg, Chris, Blake, Reagan, Parker, Caitlin and Helena. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Getting to the Heart of Parker. After keeping this information to myself for a couple of weeks, understanding why he was not trusting of giving his heart to me with the fear that I too might someday break his heart, I decided to sit him down and have a heart to heart. He has been expressing his love to me in the sweetest of notes, as this one. I will treasure it forever! Beautiful and so sad! And yes your post made me cry .

http://journeytolayla.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Greg, Chris, Blake, Reagan, Parker, Caitlin and Helena. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Getting ready for Halloween has been a blast this year. Watching Sofonyas as he experiences all of this for the first time is too fun. It all started about a month ago when we were in our local Walgreens pharmacy and we passed the Hallween isle. He looked at me with his big eyes and said "Mom, what is this? Links to this post. From Ethiopia to Texas- Friends Forever! Thank you Jesus for that sweet moment and for allowing m...
