McKay Manor: Puerto Chacabucco, Chile December 24, 2008

Tuesday, January 13, 2009. Puerto Chacabucco, Chile December 24, 2008. We had a rough night at sea where we basically bounced around the cabin, I thought it was great to rock me to sleep, Pat was trying desperately not to get seasick, and Kayla of course slept soundly through all of it, but of course we all know she sleeps through earthquakes as well. We kayaked across the lake and then started up one of the rivers. At one point we had to paddle pretty hard to go against the current, but I wouldn't r...

McKay Manor: Breaking in...
http://mckaymanor.blogspot.com/2008/07/breaking-in.html
Thursday, July 17, 2008. Just for fun and to show my mom that this really can't be all that difficult I decided to break in to her blog and add this little comment for her:. You would think that our vacations would be a nice break from the madness of everyday life but Sheila being who she is had us up and running at the crack of dawn the whole time. It was almost a relief to get home and rest after the madness of vacation. Oh, no, she just got to three. I guess I better head to time out. Lady of the Rings.

Becoming A Family . . .: May 2012
http://therastfam.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Becoming A Family . . . Saturday, May 19, 2012. When I came home from Women's Conference the kids were waiting with a sign and a cheer. Poor Will, they even had him doing it. Will and Ali loved meeting their cousins. Will loves my sisters and calls them sistras. He cries when he has to leave them and their kids. Ali loves my sister's dog and begs for one. She and Sara are very persuasive. But a dog? I think I have my hands full enough for now. Our joint gardening venture with The Prestwichs and Reeds.

Becoming A Family . . . Monday, April 26, 2010. At one of the seminars I went to recently about adopted kids, they said to remember the magical moments and focus on those instead of all the negative. For my own sake I wanted to blog about my magical April moments. For our one year anniversary with the girls, we went to Park City for a few days. They had a karaoke night at the hotel we were staying. My girls were fearless and took endless turns singing for the group. Jeff had to leave and coul...We went t...

Becoming A Family . . . Thursday, September 2, 2010. Behind the Fridge and the Garden Hose. Let me start this post by saying that in the six years I lived in my house without the girls, nothing has ever fallen behind the fridge. The other day I heard something fall and turned around. Sara was standing by the fridge looking suspicious. I asked her, "What just fell? She said, "Nothing." I looked everywhere on the floor and truly there was nothing. I was confused, it had been a big noise. A bag of stiff.

Becoming A Family . . . Sunday, February 20, 2011. Thanks for all the Donations. Shelby, they are making your postcards. They were so cute. We did lots of crafts with the kids and they were a big hit. One of the three computers that were purchased by donations from our friends. The kids took turns having typing lessons. Donia reading one of the books we gave them. They loved to have us read to them. Blocks that were donated for the boys at the orphanage. Lunchtime at the orphanage. The Beach with the kids.
