McDuffie Journey: March 2014
http://mcduffieadoptionjourney.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 6, 2014. We had a little break through this week at therapy with Little Sista! Well not all of the time, but as you can see, she is taking several steps all by herself. She still prefers the security of holding our hands and has not initiated it on her on (yet), but she is walking. :). Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Mary Kathryn competed this weekend in Savannah. We used this as an excuse to just get away for a few days and enjoy ourselves. :). Competition was fierce, but our girls rocked again!

McDuffie Journey: May 2014
http://mcduffieadoptionjourney.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 3, 2014. Stephen, Deacon, and I (well really me and Deacon he, he) decided LAST NIGHT that we would get up this morning and go do a 5K. Yeah, we had not prepared at all, I haven't exercised in Heaven knows how long, and most of all I'm NOT a runner AT ALL. But, that's how we roll! We had the best time! We didn't come close to running the whole time. We did though run what I would say adds up to about half of it, and WE FINISHED IT! Oh, and the best part.it was a color run :) :) :).

Tuesday, November 26, 2013. One Year Ago Today. I opened an email and fumbled through several documents to see this precious little face for the very first time. One year ago today we received Hannah's referral. I cannot describe the feeling that came over me when I saw her picture and as we were reading over her file. I knew she was the one! I knew she was the daughter that the Lord had called Stephen and me to bring home. I knew she was Hannah Grace McDuffie. And for a few more photos :). Simple templa...

http://mcduffieadoptionjourney.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 22, 2013. Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials. Well, the last two weeks have been very "joyous" at our house! As you all know from one of my previous posts, Hannah had her spica cast removed on August 28th after seven weeks in. On Saturday, September 7th (one and a half weeks out of the cast) she fell off of the bed and BROKE HER LEG! Yep you guessed it.back in a cast. Praise the Lord that it is just the leg that is casted this time! A Whole Half of a Year.
