Here are some of our pictures from our trip. We still plan on writing more very soon, hopefully next week. Special thanks to Zach Cheatham for the airport pictures.

Josiah’s Gotcha Slideshow

Posted by Mary Beth on Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I can’t believe we get to do this again. Even though this is our second adoption, it’s still frightening, as I assume it would be the third, fourth, or fifth time. It’s always scary to step out in faith into the unknown. But what we DO know is that God is, has been, and will [...]

Posted by Casey on Thursday, July 20th, 2006

Sometimes he even laughs as if they have told a joke. [...]

A Little Sister

Monday, September 24th, 2007

My buddy Sam recently inspired me with his series of posts about the members of his family. I thought I would steal his idea and write about the people that make up my family, beyond Casey and Caleb, whom I write about often; if this works out well, maybe we can convince Casey to write [...]

One Step at a Time

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

Caleb is a late walker; he’s almost fifteen months old, and he has just decided that he is interested in taking some steps. He comes by it naturally though; his Granddad was also a late walker, so I’m told, and he turned out to be a brilliant physician, so we’re not too worried. Caleb became [...]
