Ice Ice Babyyyyy…sing it all day long:)

Posted on 27 January 2009 by Kari Gibson

We woke up this morning & the weather man was right on…a winter wonderland of ice & snow. We’re all home enjoying fassst sledding, hot cocoa, toasty cheese sandwiches, Stumptown coffee & of course, scones!!! Hopefully, we’ll keep our power…it would put a little damper on all the fun:)

I’m snuggled up with a book….can you guess what I’m reading?

“He was becoming inexorably trapped as an ice-prisoner in his own home-much to his delight. There is something joyful about storms that interrupt routine. Snow or freezing rain suddenly releases you from expectations, performance demands, and the tyranny of appointments & schedules. All those affected this way are united by a mutual excuse, and the heart is suddenly & unexpectedly a little *giddy*

Shoving Mommy 4 LOVE

Posted on 23 January 2009 by Kari Gibson

It’s hard to explain to a one year old that daddy is bye- bye for 3 days on an airplane and he will be home soon. Zoie called for da da off & on, but was really puzzled hearing his voice on my cell phone. She held it & turned it over and over. Her sweet face showed… “Where is he?”

Daddy came home today and scooped up Zoie, who was obviously ecstatic. I gave my hubby a big hug, but was stopped short…Zoie squeeezed my cheek. ouch! I gave him a big kiss, but felt a little hand pushing me back. We both looked at Zoie and she waved her hand at me like she was trying to say…
back off mommy, he’s MINE. LOL

A time to pray

Posted on 20 January 2009 by Kari Gibson

Please pray for the Foreman family…precious Jacob is very sick with strep pneumonia. This little 3 year old is fighting for his life!!
We also want to pray for our dear friends, Joners & Blackwells who have court date in Ethiopia 20th & 21st!!! If they pass…they travel in 2 weeks!!!
This has been an incredibly difficult & challenging journey for both families.
We are also lifting in prayer the Kulp & Semlow family….the desperately need a miracle for their ET children to come home!!!

**just heard that Joners passed court!! whoooohoooo
