Welcome to my blog!

Hello! Welcome! Family life here in Southern PA is my joy!!! We moved here all the way from AZ in 2006 after a visit here in 2004 where we fell in love with the area. Plain and simple we took a leap of faith. We took 2 years to make the decision to move and it was right on! We have not been sorry for one minute.

We joined the Quaker faith, it's a good fit. Our children attend public school. They enjoy each day and have learned a great deal. We believe however, that what happens outside the classroom is just as important for their futures. We want those experiences to be nurturing and wonderful.

Tim and I have been married 13.5 years! Oh my. We have been parents since 1997 when our first child was born. We became foster parents in 2005 and adoptive parents 2007. We continue to foster children in our home with placements through the county. So far we have had 9 foster children. We will adopt again and hopefully soon!

The theme of my Blog...."Teach only love" is also the name of a book by G. Jampolsky and also from the "Course in Miracles" it's not my main philosophy in life but I have been drawn to it as well as other philosophies that are similar.

Teach Only Love Because That Is What You Are!

Winter week of blues

After almost 2 weeks of feeling poorly (flu? and then sinus congestion, possibly infection), Tim going through the flu for a few days and the kiddos being sick one by one we finally all feel much better today. The last two days as well were snow days here (no school due to inclement weather). I know by now that "this too shall pass" but it's hard to focus when you don't feel good.
We really do have health to be thankful for. I recieved an e-mail from another mom who was telling me about the death (car accident) of a 16 year old girl. My heart breaks when I hear that. Please keep them in your prayers.

I'm off to make up for having missed some house cleaning and errands over the last week.

I've been reading that many people are getting the "flu" even after the shots because they missed the strain, oops!
