On the Edge of a Cliff and Ready to Fly

Feel like the evil bedtime Nazi. Josh has to sleep in his own bed or I’m going to lose my mind and be bruised all over; he’s lately gotten into pulling my hair and kicking me. Spent 2:30am till now comforting him in his room and he’s asleep in his bed. When he wakes up I gotta take him right back to bed. What’s keeping me from losing it is I’ve decided if I don’t give in and I put him back to bed all night I get to buy myself Starbucks the next day. Operation Caffeinated Mama has begun!!

Eileen Huffman passed away on December 1st. Donald and I babysat their kids quite a bit when we were first married. Take a while to read the most recent posts on the site; Scott loved his wife very much. I hope as Donald and I grow old and face these challenges that we can rely on Christ as much as they did.

We are still picking a new Church – there was a baptist church we liked but it wasn’t quite the right fit. We’re visiting Olathe Bible Church and have been enjoying the sermons there. We have been watching for diversity (as I’ve mentioned before since we’re adopting children of color) and Olathe Bible Church had a few African-American families. It is just strange to think as we imagine our family what it’s going to look like. Some folks hadn’t realized Josh was adopted, I just hope when we adopt again and if our child is of color again I want my kids to not be the only kids of color at church or school.
