First of all. We had to put down our 13 year old Murphy this week. She was completely blind. Mostly deaf. Arthritic. Full of tumors. Still as sweet as the first moment we found her at the pound in Front Royal when she was a pup.She shed unimaginable mounds of hair...every day. She loved to [...]

Apparently, my Love Language is Volleyball.
God knows what my true love language is. I always thought it was gifts (according the official love language test). But God used volleyball to get my attention.It's not the first time.If you are an even one-hit reader of this blog, you probably quickly figured out that our daughter plays volleyball and we are freakishly [...]
Going for Gold…finale.
I didn't have the opportunity to chat with her between the semifinals and the championship game. But I could tell by her body language that she was okay. Better than okay. A mom can tell these things. A dad can't. That's just the way it is.I'd like to say a few words about her coach. [...]
Going for Gold.
The Man and I arrived at Lucy's tournament around 1:30, just in time to see them lose a game. The first game they had lost all day. The parents, not so quietly, asked us to turn around and leave as we had clearly jinxed their winning streak. We were finally allowed a reprieve to see [...]

My study meets Monday nights, led by my BFF Jill.Glory!I am loving this study. Loving, loving, loving. It is speaking to me like none of her studies ever have. (I probably [...]
Getting The Word
If I am paying attention, listening closely, filtering, I am more prepared for what is to come. God has clearly led me to step back from volunteering, daily hand's on with The Girls (which I have to admit I miss tremendously), hours spent at work. I knew that rough times were coming. Both at home [...]

All three Darlings have attended this one (and only) elementary school. The Man took them all up for Open House yesterday:All three had the same first grade teacher. When The Man [...]
Things Are Hoppin’ Here…and Some Pictures.
The Boy is sitting at the airport, waiting to get on their plane for Colorado Springs. They'll spend the night there at a little over 6,000 feet above sea level to begin to adjust to the altitude change. They'll head into the mountains tomorrow. Best Bud's dad grew up spending vacation time at a cabin [...]
The Victory is Suh-Weet
I had written a post a few weeks ago entitled...Snatching Defeat out of the Hands of Victory.I never posted it because, well, it talked about how My Girl's volleyball team consistently gets to the semi-finals and then completely falls apart. It's not that they don't have talent...they do. This IS travel after all...players are recruited [...]
