  1. What have I been up to? Well, in a nutshell, we now have 4 kiddos, 3 of them we adopted. The 4th one, has a hearing next week and we are hopeful that his adoption will be granted. The oldest is a girl who is 7. She was placed here when she was 22 months old. The other three are boys, ages 4, 2, and 1 this coming Monday. All of the boys were placed here as newborn, the youngest 2 were preemie, 2 months and 1 month early respectively. I am homeschooling the oldest, and the 4 year old when he is in the mood to cooperate. So with all that, and Early Intervention, and therapy, and Dr. appointments. I keep kinda busy. Happy that God has granted us the desire of our hearts to be parents
  2. I'm Baaaaaaccccckkkkkk! Thanks for the birthday wishes
  3. sounds like *someone* needs an edjukashun
  4. Little voice belonging to Morning Star: Mama Mama MAMA!!! Me: What is it Dear? Morning Star: Come outside. Me: Why? Morning Star: I want to show you something. Me: But Mommy's cooking dinner right now. Morning Star: But I want to show you something in the garden. Me: What's in the garden that mommy needs to see RIGHT NOW? Morning Star: Mommy you need to see it. Me: What is it? Morning Star: There is a dolphin in your garden, Mommy. Me: REALLY!!! ( I live in the high desert, 100's of miles from an ocean.) A DOLPHIN IN MY GARDEN?? NOW, THIS I HAVE GOT TO SEE. (dinner can indeed wait.) I allow Morning Star to lead me outside. She takes me to a lizard that is belly-up, graveyard dead. There is nothing, and I do mean nothing, quite like having an almost 4 year old around.
  5. I pulled the first Radishes this morning. I immediately made a sandwich from the largest one. It was mild and tender. I learned to like radish sandwiches when I was very young from my Dad. Happy Fathers Day, Dad! Radish Sandwich Bread Thinly sliced radishes Mayo Salt

  7. I am using a sprinkler for the old part of the garden, Corn and Potatoes. For the raised beds I am using a water wand similar to this. It waters like a shower head.
  8. We finished installing the raised beds and we had a load of topsoil/compost delivered. This was the most costly part of building the raised bed garden. I debated a long time before making this decision. Topsoil is non existent here, but it seemed ridiculous to pay for it. For a gal from a state where great soil is a given, this seemed so extravagant. I calculated the amount of trips it would take to fill all the beds, and the time involved. (Not to mention the hassle of dragging along the tots) Finally I decided to bite the bullet and have it delivered We fenced in the new garden, joining it to the old one. I planted potatoes and corn in the old garden. We made a gate, and I just love it! I picked my first tomato today! Kinda cheated on this- We hauled this 3 ft high Patio tomato plant back from Maryland in April. Spinach and Radishes Else where in the beds things are beginning to pop up. It is so fun to go out early in the morning and see what has made an appearance overnight. So far I have found, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, red beets, onions, cucumbers, squash and lettuce.
  9. What cute names for your chickens! All these pics and stories about chickens are giving me chicken fever. Maybe next year.....
  10. Sheep.... The sheep in Veggietales "Dave and the Giant Pickle" fall over too.
  11. Today after church, we headed for the mountains. A quick stop at Subway made an instant picnic with no prep work for Mom. It was a lovely day, clear and sunny and temps that were just right. We had our lunch at a picnic area, then drove to the trail head that leads to a lake. DFD#2 rode on DH shoulders for awhile, Morning Star carried the backpack. After hiking nearly a mile, we arrived at the lake. Nearby we spied a patch of snow. Here is DH and our "current family" standing in the snow. A snowball fight broke out right after this picture. (how often does THAT happen on Mother's Day?) DFS#2 made a tiny snowman. DFD#2 sunk in to her knees and was not too happy about it. As you can see, She's not getting any help from Morning Star.... After the hike back to our truck, we went on a long drive through the mountains on an unfamiliar road, just enjoying the day. The boys rode on the back of the truck, and the girls fell asleep. It was a wonderful Mother's Day.
  12. They are indeed the good, treasured, precious things, well said. I believe that the older we get, the more we appreciate a wonderful childhood. Especially when I see so many children who have a rotten family life.
  13. Thursday evening we dined at Grandma Mary's house. This was quite a treat, since it had been many years since I put my feet under her table for a meal. In our family, Grandma's dinners are legendary. When my biological Grandmother died, I was very young and have only a few faint memories of her. Grandpap remarried, and Grandma Mary has been a wonderful blessing to our whole family. There is no evil step-mother in our family. The table is set with the Nortake china, (Fairmont pattern) and Fostoria glass. It is beautiful. The main attraction however, is the FOOD. The woman goes all out. If you leave hungry, you have only yourself to blame. When Grandpap was still living, He would hone his big knife and carve the meat in his snow white butcher apron. After grace, he's announce, "Reach in and make yourself homely." Then he'd unfold his napkin, tuck a corner into his collar, pick up his knife and fork and eat with a purpose. The man loved good food. He was a grocer. The menu this evening is: Bread sticks, Italian favored with cheese Caultiflower & broccoli salad Mashed potatoes Turkey slices Gravy Pickles Deviled Eggs Peas Potato Chips Fruit salad Lemon Dessert At this point, my brother leans over to my 14 yr old foster son and whispers, "When you think you've had some of everything on the table, Grandma brings out more from the kitchen" And he was right. A cake like bar with chocolate topping appeared. Then the candy dish was passed. After dinner, more Aunts, Uncles and Cousins came by for the weekly Thursday evening vist at Grandma's. Before we left for the evening, she served pretzels and chips. Grandma Mary's eyesight is failing to the point that she cannot drive.
  14. We are Not from tornado country, a fact that we are particularly grateful for. Today we are traveling east to Maryland and have been about 20 or 30 min ahead of the weather. This would vary as little voices from the back seat would annouce, I NEED TO PEE!!! A pit stop would happen in short order, after which we would again have a storm on our heels. We stopped in Springfield Mo for dinner and then decided to keep driving awhile before getting a room. We made a stop for gas, all the while listening to weather reports on the radio. That was somewhat useless to us because we had no idea of the county lines and couldn't really tell where the tornado was headed. While DH was fueling, I took a good look at the map and made a quick list of names of counties that we would be passing through. Just as DH was getting into the vehicle, the tornado warning siren went off. Another vehichle was in a hurry to leave and nearly ran into us. We drove across the street to a motel and pulled up to the door under the overhang. By this time the wind was furious and it was raining. We grabbed kids and ran. The wind almost threw us at the building. Upon entering this well known chain motel, we couldn't find anyone. The desk was deserted. The kids were crying, and I think I wanted to. It all happened so fast. DH finally walked through the open door by the check-in desk to the back room and found the desk clerk who hadn't heard us come in !?!?!?. She was calm and quickly calmed us down, gave the kids lollipops, and checked us in. In a few minutes, the forceful wind died down, and we were able to bring in our things. We are now safely established in our room, and have gotten a handle on the situation with the weather channel. We are glad we chose to stay here, as the storms are on the same path as our route. I THINK my heart rate has returned to normal. Tomorrow's forcast is not looking so great, either. Guess this will pump up my prayer life.
