A Time For Grace. Our baby girl has been diagnosed with Trisomy 18. This is the story of our journey with her. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Just jumping around tonight on different topics related to Trisomy 18 and somehow found this song by Chris Rice, "Baby Take Your Bow," which probably had nothing to do with Trisomy 18 when it was written.but it sounds like a sweet song of release to a child who has gone home to heaven early. Baby Take Your Bow" by Chris Rice. We´re gonna miss your song and dance,. So bl...

MyAwesomeOliveShoots: A boy who loved Barney
http://myawesomeoliveshoots.blogspot.com/2012/05/boy-who-loved-barney-and-guns.html
Tuesday, May 15, 2012. A boy who loved Barney. When Nate was a wee lad, he loved Barney and guns. That is an odd combination if you ask me. Barney is creepy and I am not a gun person. Things that explode or shoot scare me more than a huge purple dinosaurs. I love the skinned knee, he was so proud of himself. For being on top of a mountain. Holding a plastic airplane. Feeling like a tough guy, Nate is truly a gift from God. What's a mama to do? Nate is a man's man there's no denying it! So similar to my o...

Monday, June 30, 2008. R-Day, 60 seconds. You have 60 seconds to say your farewells,". We are all entering a new phase in our lives. After saying our farewells, there were two floors of vendors and organizations to greet us. Nearly ever booth had a box of Kleenex. It was reassuring to see that in the midst of all this decorum and granite, they had chiseled out a lot of compassion and concern. Psalm 63:7 and 8. I am weepy just reading your blog. But you made it through! Love you all, Gigi. Sew Much Fun - ...

MyAwesomeOliveShoots: Creating unconditional love on cardboard
http://myawesomeoliveshoots.blogspot.com/2012/05/creating-unconditional-love-on.html
Saturday, May 19, 2012. Creating unconditional love on cardboard. Making Aaron's senior table was truly an act of love. Wednesday night, on the eve of high school graduation, moms and dads filled the gymnasium for a shining gesture. With Herculean effort, we decorated senior tables for our offspring. I know because I was among those parents attempting, in some im. Possible way to contain love on a 30"x30" plot of space. Talk about pressure! Middle OS senior pic taken by Aunt Lorri. I sewed a swatch of re...

MyAwesomeOliveShoots: April 2012
http://myawesomeoliveshoots.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. The bunny in the window. The most adorable thing I've ever seen. In a hospital gift shop. Last pic of the bunny and me. Each day for ten days prior to seeing my mom, I'd go and check on the ceramic bunny with the powder blue overalls. And each time, an internal battle would loom within as I pondered taking him home with me. Did I really want an emblem of my mom's turmoil? What if my mom died here? Alas, the decision was taken from me. Here's what happened. Nothing - and the othe...

I was aching yesterday and fearing that it was a urinary tract infection (I had one last June that was horrible! I ran to the emergency room last night to check and get antibiotics if necessary to nip it in the bud. I waited 4 hours to be seen by a doctor. Posted by Jill in Spain. February 22, 2012 at 4:01 PM.

A Time For Grace: It´s About That Time
http://tiempoparagrace.blogspot.com/2012/03/its-about-that-time.html
A Time For Grace. Our baby girl has been diagnosed with Trisomy 18. This is the story of our journey with her. Tuesday, March 6, 2012. It´s About That Time. So, my medical leave has come to an end. It´s been 18 days since I delivered our little girl. Last night I returned to the new-found practice that I started in January, inspired by Ann Voskamp. Of writing down blessings, things I´m thankful for. I realized that in the wake of Rebeca´s departure, drained of energy and motivation, I stopp...So, I resume.

My Awesome Olive Shoots. Chronicling a contented life as the mama of three sons. Tag Archives: El Salvador. Five minute Friday – notice. Posted on November 21, 2014. When you are the mother of the groom on your son’s wedding day. You are like a gallbladder. Necessary to some extent but if you cause trouble then out you go. I wanted to remember my place. The day was so NOT about me! It was about the Lord, my boy and his stunning bride! Especially since my son was getting married in a foreign country.

MyAwesomeOliveShoots: May 2012
http://myawesomeoliveshoots.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. West Point graduation touchstone moments. This is not a glamour shot. Pictured here are the freckle face, orange hair ginger, the Hubs,. The Officer just after we pinned the bars on his uniform,. The weepy proud mama, the grandpa and the ministry-bound middle brother. We are an imperfect bunch. But we love each other. And when not focusing on our own personal comforts which is often difficult for most people including myself and those in my clan. It was a privilege and an honor.

My Awesome Olive Shoots. Chronicling a contented life as the mama of three sons. Category Archives: El Salvador. A mom, a treehouse and a couple mountains – an El Salvadoran adventure. Posted on November 16, 2014. On Monday, I walked up the stairs to a treehouse. No big deal…. Just a regular ho-hum day for a middle aged American wife and mom who only 48 hours ago welcomed a new daughter-in-love to the family. I jest. It was this a significant moment. Why, you ask? 1 I’m very afraid of heights. The park i...
