It’s interesting to me that the “pro-choice” folks rarely mention LIFE as a choice. Since Nathan has come into our lives, we’ve met a few people who “chose” to have a child with a disability not because they discovered they were carrying a baby via pregnancy but by adopting them. My friend Monica sent me [...]

Yesterday our friend Dawn who is director of STARS (disability ministry @ College Church, Wheaton, IL) called and told me that she’d passed along this blog site to a missionary in Sofia, Bulgaria. One of the members of the small church there has recently had a child with Down syndrome. So, I just want say, [...]

The ugly green monster Stomach Flu has invaded our house and we’ve all had some version of it…Argh. All therapies suspended, only the most essential tasks are attended to, the house is a disaster. It’s a goblin of a week…just makes me want to scrub the house with bleach, open the windows and sterilize everything…The [...]

If love could be defined in color, it would be pink with deep sparkly jewels set free for Miika and yellow sunshine with shades of orange and gold for Nathan held close.

Take a moment. Grab a kleenex.
Here’s a note from Sue. Has anyone else [...]

If I had a buck for every time someone said, “I don’t know how you do it all,” I wouldn’t have to work anymore! Here’s the answer…really a confession: I didn’t get a shower today, there are about 5 loads of laundry piled up in the basement, we feed and raise dust bunnies, I get [...]

For the first time since before Miika was born, I had a night out with the girls! They all gasped when I told them I could barely remember the last time I was out without my family. Yes, Paul and I have had a few dinners sans kids, but even that’s been less than a [...]

I’m at my desk surrounded by mountains of papers. The dishes are overflowing in the kitchen and on the floor is a trail of debris… books, toys, flip flops, Crocks. About 45 minutes ago we went out the door to take Miika to school and the van wouldn’t start. So, I’m feeling that level of [...]
