Braner Party of 7: When Your Kids Are Hurting

http://branerpartyof7.blogspot.com/2015/05/when-your-kids-are-hurting.html

Thursday, May 14, 2015. When Your Kids Are Hurting. The bouquet Maggie and her friends floated down the river from Sawyer's favorite thinking spot. It has been a really hard 27 hours and I have found myself in a deep place of sadness because my two oldest are hurting and confused. Yesterday morning, the kids at Miller Middle School found out that one of their classmates killed himself. What do you do with that? Im so sorry, Jamie-Jo. Ill be praying for all of you as you go through the days ahead. Awesome...

Braner Party of 7: Adoption

http://branerpartyof7.blogspot.com/p/adoption.html

If you are interested in adoption, I would love to answer any questions you have! I believe that adoption is what we have been called by God to do! We are all adopted sons and daughters of the Lord. . .He gave us that example that we are to follow! I do not believe that every family is called to adopt, but I do believe that every family is called to help with adoptions in different ways. The first time they put Gabby into my arms (in the airport just as I arrived Rwanda). What agency do you recommend?

Braner Party of 7: Quotes

http://branerpartyof7.blogspot.com/p/quotes.html

YOU DON'T CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY. THEY ARE GOD'S GIFT TO YOU, AS YOU ARE TO THEM. GROW OLD ALONG WITH ME. THE BEST IS YET TO BE. CALL IT A CLAN, CALL IT A NETWORK, CALL IT A TRIBE, CALL IT A FAMILY. WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU NEED ONE. OUR MOST BASIC INSTINCT IS NOT FOR SURVIVAL BUT FOR FAMILY. MOST OF US WOULD GIVE OUR OWN LIFE FOR THE SURVIVAL OF A FAMILY MEMBER, YET WE LEAD OUR DAILY LIFE TOO OFTEN AS IF WE TAKE OUR FAMILY FOR GRANTED. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Some Blogs I Enjoy.

Braner Party of 7: On Your Birthday...

http://branerpartyof7.blogspot.com/2015/04/on-your-birthday.html

Friday, April 24, 2015. There are so many things that I wish she knew about you. I'm sure when we get to heaven and get to meet and I begin to tell her stories about her spunky daughter that she will nod her head knowingly because you are probably so much like her and like her mother. There are so many things I cannot wait to tell her! You are so funny! You crack us up all of the time! You are caring and compassionate. You are tenacious. Oh my! Place was perfect, the drinks and food was amazing. Even...

Braner Party of 7: Two Years Ago

http://branerpartyof7.blogspot.com/2015/03/two-years-ago.html

Tuesday, March 10, 2015. So, two years ago I happened upon the Facebook page of a person I knew in college and I saw her before and after pictures- I'd never seen the before and after pictures of someone I actually knew. It was amazing. So, I asked her to call me and the rest is history! Two years ago I made a decision for very selfish reasons and now, two years later, that one selfish decision is one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself, for my marriage, for my kids- for my family!

Braner Party of 7: Belated Snow Day

http://branerpartyof7.blogspot.com/2015/02/belated-snow-day.html

Saturday, February 28, 2015. Like I said in my last post, we got 31 inches last weekend and on Monday we had our third snow day since we moved here (six years). So, Andy and Hays and I headed to the mountain to enjoy the powder- and powder it was! It was so much fun- either the powder or the morning with just Hays and Andy or both! We laughed so hard and I fell so many times because the powder was so deep. I loved it! I could do that weekly! Attempted photo op turned hysterical disaster! Andy and Jamie Jo.

Braner Party of 7: Hays & Erin

http://branerpartyof7.blogspot.com/2015/01/hays-erin.html

Saturday, January 31, 2015. A couple of weeks ago, he crawled in bed with me and we had a fantastic talk about what it means to be a boyfriend and to have a girlfriend. I suggested that he call Erin's dad and ask his permission before he asked Erin to be his girlfriend and much to my surprise, he did it. I was so impressed with him! What an amazing young man he is turning into. Well, her dad gave his blessing and Hays now has a girlfriend. Tonight Hays is at dinner and the Winter Formal with her! Both of...

Braner Party of 7: Empty

http://branerpartyof7.blogspot.com/2015/04/empty.html

Sunday, April 5, 2015. However, today, Easter, empty is a word that brings such humbling joy. When I just sit back and think of what my Savior did for me, it literally takes my breath away! Empty isn't a negative word today. That tomb is empty and I am so unexplainably grateful that it is. HE IS RISEN! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
