My cup overflows: August 2012
http://thishappymomma.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 30, 2012. Last post from China! At 7:25 this morning it was silent and everyone was sound asleep. I heard a sweet little voice awaken me saying. "Momma? I sat up and said, "Gracie! Then I swooped that sweet baby up out of her crib and gave her lots and lots of kisses and she giggled! What a way to wake up! We miss you people! Please pray with us that our flights will not be delayed because of the hurricane. In Chicago, if they have a drop of rain, they delay flights! We will be leaving o...

My cup overflows: June 2012
http://thishappymomma.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2012. And I'm tasting the sweetness of the here and now. When I played Chess with John Deric yesterday morning I thought to myself as he methodically planned his next move on the board, "These are the days that you will never forget and will always treasure. What a gift. The gift of today. Posted by Heather Thomas. Wednesday, June 27, 2012. We were approved for our I800 immigration app on Friday! So we've moved to the next step. Praise the Lord!

My cup overflows: September 2012
http://thishappymomma.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Encouragement for the week ahead. Here is an encouraging excerpt from Ann Voskamp's blog post this week:. No one knows but you do war every single day with the slanderous voices in your head. And you wrestle a bit with the death dark that encroaches around the edges of everything and you’re never the only one: anyone who gets up has to push back the dark. I’m standing there in front of the mirror. That’s what this week needs, that’s all this week needs most:. I have grown t...

Monday, November 26, 2012. All I really want for Christmas. Well I know it's been a while since this momma has been sighted in blog-world. Becoming a mother to now 4 children has kept me busy with laundry, needs and more of my own need to be disciplined to get enough sleep every night and less time for "me" time, such as.blogging!

My cup overflows: Attachment issues have arrived- please read!
http://thishappymomma.blogspot.com/2012/09/attachment-issues-have-arrived-please.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Attachment issues have arrived- please read! When we got to the airport and walked up to our crowd of folks Gracie pretty much reached for everybody. I was shocked! Who was this child and where did my Gracie go? So on Monday, Deric took her in to the doctor and she had a bacterial infection and we got some antibiotics for her. If I'm honest, I thought all of the books and advice were kind of extreme about attachment issues. My bio kids have had stability and security their ...

My cup overflows: Finally home
http://thishappymomma.blogspot.com/2012/09/finally-home.html
Monday, September 3, 2012. We are home safe and sound now but still on China time! Anna has been up all night and wants to sleep all day. Gracie has been sleeping all night since we got her, until last night. She was up all night! However, she slept for 15 hours the first night we were home! This jet-lag deal is something! Gracie loves her new home and her new room! She is eating new foods at every meal and likes pretty much all of it. I couldn't ask for a better baby. She is happy and playful. July 2, C...
