Sunday, February 16, 2014. 1/2 Marathon Training and EO's. If you're on facebook, you probably got an invite to an online class my friend Amanda. Is graciously doing for me! She introduced me to essential oils and they've made SUCH a huge difference for my own family that I am dying to tell all my friends about them! Before the run, I rubbed a little valor. On my lower back to try to work out some stiffness. I also inhaled some peppermint. Last month when I started doing some 5 and 6 mile runs on Saturda...

Beyond Blessed Momma: June 2012

Waiting for sister #4! Monday, June 25, 2012. Paperwork. That is all that is happening with the adoption right now. Just waiting for paperwork after paperwork after paperwork! It is pretty exciting the progress that is being made with all the paperwork, but pretty crazy how much there is! As I look at the list of documents from beginning to end, it is amazing how much we have gotten through and there isn't that much left on the list of paperwork to do! So what do I do in the mean time? There is a lot to ...

Beyond Blessed Momma: Incredible Hong Kong!!
http://beyondblessedmomma.blogspot.com/2015/01/incredible-hong-kong.html
Waiting for sister #4! Friday, January 30, 2015. In some ways it's hard to believe that this day actually happened! It's the kind of day that is really hard to describe to other people because it was so amazing. I feel like it was probably a life-changing day both for me and my girls to be able to see and experience what we did. It was so incredible to tour part of Hong Kong. My eyes were certainly opened and I know my girls were too! Hong Kong/China differences according to our tour guide:. Then we went...

Waiting for sister #4! Sunday, January 22, 2012. I am Here and I am Mommy! As I sit here listening to my Callie cough and cough her croupy cough, I am completely exhausted….but so happy that I am here and that I am her mommy. As I remember what happened last night with Sydney and cleaning up after her getting sick over and over last night….I am so happy that I am here for her and that I am her mommy. Matt is in Brazil right now, where it is beautiful and sunny. I thought I should stay home with the girls.

Waiting for sister #4! Monday, August 18, 2014. Introducing Evie Lu Allmand! Time to dust off this old blog so I can keep everyone updated on our next adoption. We are so excited to introduce Allmand girl #4! Her Chinese name is Zhao Hai Lu. She is in foster care right now and her foster family has been calling her Lu Lu. Isn't that so sweet? I think that is adorable. Matt and I have decided that her name will be Evie Lu. I am sure her nickname will stay Lu Lu for a lot of the time. :). Learn more: Creat...

Waiting for sister #4! Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Emma: 50 days later, a lot has changed! Emma has changed so much since we first met her. It is really hard to believe that it has only been days since we have had her, it seems as if we have always had her. It has been fifty days to be exact. Here is what she has accomplished in that short amount of time:. She can be a stinker! Fifty days and she has changed that much! I am not saying that everything has been easy because there have definitely been some...

Beyond Blessed Momma: April 2012
http://beyondblessedmomma.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Waiting for sister #4! Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Life has been very busy! Since this blog was meant to be kind of a journal for me to remember some of life's moments, I am going to back track a while to catch up on some fun things that have happened. I will start with the ski trip we took to Keystone, Colorado. We had a great time. It was absolutely beautiful scenery (of course) and weather! It was in the 60s, so it was actually hard to stay cool enough! They had a lot of fun with my sister and her family...
