Isaac and Kyle: April 2013
http://isaacandkyle.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Watch God bless and grow our family through Ethiopian adoption. Monday, April 22, 2013. Friday April 19, 2013, at 4:47PM I received "THE CALL" that changed my life. I answered the call and heard Carol's voice telling me, "We have two baby boys for you! We talked for about 10 minutes during which time she told me our boys were 1 and 3 months old, in the same care home, and healthy. And did we want to see pictures? 30 seconds later, "Hey! What did she say? Me, crying now: "She has two baby boys for us!

Something Crazy: March 2011
http://makingit2less.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Lifesong Grant and USCIS being processed! Today and yesterday have been super exciting! Today almost $900 came out of our checking account and I've never been so excited! Our check for immigration went through, which means it's being processed. We can't get our referral until USCIS approval comes, so we are thrilled that it's moving along. Pray for us and for Bella Kate and Claire to be prepared to have two more siblings. Pray for the Ethiopian government and MOWA(the ministry t...

Something Crazy: My Post-Adoption Problem...there may be more than one
http://makingit2less.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-post-adoption-problemthere-may-be.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. My Post-Adoption Problem.there may be more than one. I'm often told by Christians, "I think that's so great you all did that. I just don't really feel called to do that." It's sort of like missions. Everyone is so glad someone else is doing it, they can feel good about it being done without actually doing any of the hard part themselves. Could you give her a forever family? What if He had not taken on the broken, dirty, sick mess that you were and made you a child? Adopt all the...

Something Crazy: Reality Check
http://makingit2less.blogspot.com/2012/03/reality-check.html
Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Oh ridiculously selfish me! Of course He knows! Of course the God who spoke the world into existence knows all of these things. The question is what do I know? Do I know that God is faithful, do I know that He loves Noah more than I do, do I know that God left the throne and came down to earth as a baby and died a brutal death so that I might have hope in eternal life? Do I know that His word is true and I can claim it's promises? Her whole life I have met her needs, given her thi...

Something Crazy: October 2011
http://makingit2less.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 24, 2011. We Have a Son! We are sooo thrilled to have received the referral for our son! We set out on this journey expecting to go from a family of 4 to a family of 6 overnight. While we still plan on “making it 2 less orphans and 2 more Jenkins” it looks like we are going to do it one at a time. Along with other factors contributed to this change of plans but I’ll get on to the reason you all are reading…our son! So of course I called our coordinator back immediately. He’s current...

Saturday, April 16, 2011. Quiet Time Thoughts and The American Dream. So this has been an interesting week. Monday started off incredibly well with USCIS being so kind as to fingerprint us a month early! Another favorite comment of mine is “wouldn’t you rather give your two kids more in life than giving four just a little? But will have more than enough! 8221; Hilarious I thought and I told her what we had. And immediately I thought, that’s more than our sweet African kids had today. We did well until ab...

Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Time Flies When You're Having Fun! Hang through this friends.it's going somewhere. Last night Bella Kate (who is 3) and I were playing on the deck waiting for Dan to get home. She got in her Little Tikes Coupe and said, "I'm going to school Mom, see ya later!

Thursday, August 4, 2011. Miracles from the mouth of my middle schooler. Mallory is entering 6th grade this year- -Middle School, Youth Group, brushing her hair all the time, hormones, spending time behind a closed door more often, embarrassed of walking with her mom in public- -6th grade. I say all this with tongue in cheek, because, actually, she is such an awesome young woman! It sure is to me! I am blown away with gratefulness! People, I experienced a miracle today! I am so very thankful that I am ma...
