Newberry, Party of 6: August 2014

Newberry, Party of 6. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Can I Change the World? Yesterday I was sitting in one of two black rolling chairs that live in our box shaped office. In the other rolling chair sat my 9 year old son, finger plucking away at the keyboard of our desk top computer. He was finishing up his final project for his school's Summer Challenge. I was scrolling through my emails on my phone when he paused and looked over at me. Mom, Do you think I can change the world? I replied, without hesitation.

Newberry, Party of 6: Tales from the Kitchen
http://www.newberrypartyof6.com/2014/11/tales-from-kitchen.html
Newberry, Party of 6. Thursday, November 6, 2014. Tales from the Kitchen. Ali looked at me with a big smile. The conversation went from there. Talking about her mom, the struggles they had. Some of the good things she remembered. I got bits and pieces of the highs and the lows of her life. This leads me back to Adoption month. As short as my journey so far has been I have figured out a few things. 1 Adoption is a beautiful picture of God's love for us. 6 We need foster homes. We need adoptive familie...

Newberry, Party of 6. Thursday, April 24, 2014. Probably the two most common questions we get are:. 1 How is she adjusting? 2 How is her English coming along? As for her English, it is amazing how fast she is learning! She told me the other day, "Mom, by summer I know lots of English? Uh, sweet girl just to be able to say that you are rockin' the English! But of course I just said, "Yes, by summer you will have a lot of English.". He is never slow to answer our prayers, it is all about his timing! This p...

Newberry, Party of 6. Monday, December 15, 2014. Lesson from an artist. Today Ali and I went to pick up a painting I had commissioned by a fabulous local artist. Failing to tell Ali what I was doing, she chose to wait in the car while I went in to get the art. After I was all loaded up, I climbed back into the car and buckled my seatbelt, only to hear from the back seat, "Wait, is she an artist? Yes, she is! Would you like to go in and see where she does her work? My little artist said. My girl and I, we...

Newberry, Party of 6: July 2014
http://www.newberrypartyof6.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Newberry, Party of 6. Thursday, July 31, 2014. We have been trucking along, and really starting to meld into our new normal. Each time I think we are getting to our new normal, something changes to bring us even closer to a new normal. We hit some bumps, but each bump leads to a better understanding of family and the way things run around here. We recently got back from our first vacation as a party of 6. And I am not going to lie, it was WONDERFUL! While we were in Seattle we saw the Space needle, playe...

Newberry, Party of 6. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Last year, Russ and I gathered around the iPad so we could FaceTime home for Thanksgiving. And while spending three hours with our family who was a world away was a unique experience that I was very grateful for, it pales in comparison to being able to hug the people that I love. This year, Ali's first Thanksgiving, was a wonderful time! I pray that you were able to find something to be thankful for today. And if you needed help being thankful, I hop...

http://www.newberrypartyof6.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Newberry, Party of 6. Friday, March 6, 2015. Wow Well, this year has not been how I thought it would be. It wasn't how years past have been, but it wasn't how most adoption blogs said it would go either. Or, how to treat others with respect, and to persevere when learning gets tough. Oh these things drove me crazy, and they still sometimes do, but it wasn't how I thought it would be. Happy One Year Home, dear Ali! We love you forever! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
