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!

I officially declare....



I have no sense or humor and I'm talentless. No offense to to the womans movement with the cartoon. It's just the most fitting silly thing I could find to express how I feel right now. OMG! I love some of the blogs I see out in blogland and I really don't hold a candle to them. The bigger world out there just takes me by storm sometimes. Few if any of my friends blog. My husband is a technophobe. My 12 year old is begging us for a cell phone (everyone has one says she).... well she doesn't so not everyone. I admit to feeling bad that I'm so lame but at the same time I wonder where people get the time to do all this. Probably like me it's a growing thing. Before you know it you find yourself doing something new and then as time goes on it's a growing thing. However... I look at my kids and for now I really know I'd rather be spending time figuring them out than all of this blogging stuff. It's fun though to explore some of these websites. I want to attach a few onto mine but I don't know exactly how to do that. For now it will remain that way as I have a child running his plastic elephant up my arm and wanting some attention. Okay off I go...
