Starfish baby love


My daughter took these beautiful pictures of beautiful babies.
She has a way of capturing the souls.




Yesterday was my first chance to talk to granddaughter Rachel
about her trip. She talked non-stop for hours about each child
knowing each name and birthday.
Were planning a trip back to China next year, just her and I.




This 13 yr. old girl is earning the money to go for
a month this time. (the plus of home schooling)
If you want a darling head band you can go to her
Etsy shop.




She was telling me their schedule....children to bed at 6:30 lites out.
So, I said do we go to bed then too? Since volunteers live on the premises.
Oh, you don't have to she says but you'll want to go to bed early because
their all up by 6!




This is CoCo with Gnomeo our traveling Gnome. You
could never tell that she is two. They think she was "bound"
"swaddled" at the orphange she lived at. A few months ago
she couldn't even hold a bottle, nows the latest news is she's
standing up!




Alot of the children Rachel was with will be gone when we go next
year.(that's a good thing!) They are usually adopted by the time they
are three. Two have died since she came home.



Rachel had fun digging through boxes of clothing and dressing them cute. She said
the nannies had terrible taste and it just killed her when she'd pick up a little boy with
pink pj's on with ruffles on the bottom!




Rachel is very passionate about these little ones and I can't
wait to go with her and experience what she has. I always believed
that the best job in the world would be to hold babies.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
