Okay So we finally finished our move from Okinawa, our travel down to Arizona, up to Colorado, back to Arizona, and over to Las Vegas, Nevada. It took us about two months to get to a place where life is somewhat normal again. (Is life ever really normal? So until I'm much older and retired, I'm going to have to learn to balance it all. To say no. To prioritize. And to be aggressive in mastering time management and achieving my goals. A daunting task at times. So where are we at?

We're so happy it's 2010! So many great things will happen this year, I can feel it. Hey, maybe Jesus will come. Well, I guess Mark had to pay his dues before great things could happen to him this year! Jessica, Me and Aymara (she's got a bun in the oven :). So go check her out! Until next time. don't forget what a great God we serve! Written by Laura Jean.

First off, my good friend Simone came to visit us in March. She was only here for four days, so we packed as much fun in as we possible could and made some great memories! We were even able to go snorkeling that early in the year. it was her first time :). Then, we were off to Shimonoseki to see the Nishihara's! Next stop was Hiroshima. There's a huge memori...

                                        Our adoption journey from Ethiopia to Colorado to Uganda and back. Monday, December 16, 2013. Add to the beauty. It's been a long time since I've had adoption fever. It's been an even longer time since I've had baby fever. It's kinda weird to think about eating a child because they are cute.or at all.) Her story was . in a nutshell.beautiful. She proceeded to show me a couple of pictures of this darling girl who lived in the same home as her now son. Did I mention this baby girl is only 4 months old?

After Malachi's haircut at Precision Kutz and Sytlz, I decided to always spell with a "z" instead of an "s". It just seems right. Welcome to Colorado, Kira! Cold, lots of blood work (I won't make you endure the picture again for those of you who saw it on Facebook, but basically imagine 15 viles of blood - yes, that was it), scary costumes and strange decorations, snow . oh wait . a break in the snow!

It didn't take long into this second adoption for me to clearly see that God's theme for me was going to be "Faithfulness". Oh the doubting. It doesn't take very long to do a BibleGateway. And if I truly had the expectant faith of answered prayers, then surely it reflects HIS problem. But if I believe the Bible to be true, which I do, then it WASN'T His problem, it most certainly was my lack of ...

                                        Our adoption journey from Ethiopia to Colorado to Uganda and back. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Kirabo Dorcas Linda BRITTON! It was such a great time. The Judge started by telling us the proceedings were very casual and informal. The kids got to sit in the Jury chairs the entire time. The Judge asked Kira and all the kids questions about if they are nice to each other (of which I am now using to remind them that they swore before a Judge to be nice, so they better not break the law! I LOVE THIS POST!

Kira was beyond excited. She tells us she enjoyed school in Uganda, and was very excited to go here. Her response was cute when we told her she would be in Kindergarten. She piped up and said, "I in P2"! And every day since, about 30 minutes after breakfast, she begins asking if it is lunch time . she knows that school comes right after lunch. :). After school she spo...
