Two Daughters and a Mutt: May 2012
http://twodaughtersandamutt.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Two Daughters and a Mutt. Thursday, May 17, 2012. My Mother's Day gift this year? Lin was baptized and confirmed at church! At the beginning of the school year we started making Lin attend Sunday School. We didn't force it on her last year, but this year the 7th and 8th grade Sunday School class was doing confirmation and it was really important to me that she be a part of it. She tried to protest but I really didn't give her an option, and so she's been going all year. Very cute. All the confirmatio...

Two Daughters and a Mutt. Saturday, December 10, 2011. It's been a busy week around here! Ruby had her Preschool Holiday Program on Wednesday and Lin had her first Tae Kwon Do belt test on Friday. Both the girls did great! Here are Ruby and some of her classmates, showing the assembled audience how they say the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of every school day. So cute! They all did great until they came to the word "indivisible" and then they all fell apart. Yep, that's MY daughter! So it was a mad ...

http://twodaughtersandamutt.blogspot.com/2012/07/week-away.html
Two Daughters and a Mutt. Monday, July 9, 2012. Sorry for the long lapses between posts, but it's been a busy Summer! This week, Ma and Pa will be getting a little quiet time as both the girls are heading off to different activities. Lin is spending a week at an all-girl's camp and Ruby is spending a week with her grandparents. What will we ever do with the house to ourselves for a week. We actually talked about painting the kitchen and tearing up the carpet in our living room. ha! Fresca, the Mutt.

Two Daughters and a Mutt: March 2012
http://twodaughtersandamutt.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Two Daughters and a Mutt. Thursday, March 29, 2012. What Did You Do Today? The vast majority of the time, I live in a world of self-doubt. I'm not a good enough mother. I'm not a good enough wife. Oh, sure, there are many many days where I feel great about the state of the world, but it seems that there's always something I can point to and say "I could have done more.". I blame my husband. I woke up at 3:00am and went to work at my full-time job. I washed, dried, folded and put away a load of laundry.

We had a major breakthrough with Lin this Summer! Arriving early at Walley World! Time for Lin an...

Two Daughters and a Mutt. Wednesday, November 23, 2011. I have recently become a fan of Jen Hatmaker, a Christian author of several Bible study books, amazing blogger, and fellow adoptive mother. If you haven't heard of her, you'll love her.

Monday, November 21, 2011. And yes, Ruby will be switching to ballet!
