Enjoying the Journey: December 2010
http://smilesandrain.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A blog about our family adventure in Costa Rica. Saturday, December 25, 2010. A Costa Rican Christmas. Even though it was after 9pm, the kids put on their costumes and we had a nativity, complete with a song at the end from Lora. The little girls sprinkled the "snow"around the christmas tree that they had been making for weeks by cutting up white plastic grocery bags, and then it was time for bed. The day got even better as we were able to skype with Elder Martinsen. Yes! I love this time of year when th...

http://smilesandrain.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
A blog about our family adventure in Costa Rica. Monday, August 30, 2010. Well, I post that as a title, because it the first time this has happened since we left the states.I am actually home ALONE. Lane and Abe left early to take the girls to school and then the two of them continued on to Liberia to figure out something on our car. You might ask what would motivate Abe to get up early and be excited for 2 hours in the car. Three words: McDonald's in Liberia! OK, Alex's letter just came and now I have t...

Enjoying the Journey: November 2010
http://smilesandrain.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A blog about our family adventure in Costa Rica. Sunday, November 21, 2010. I just LOVE meeting new people and learning what I can from them. I think every single person has something about them that we can learn from. We have already shed some tears with friends here as we all talk about the time when this journey will end for us. It is hard to get close to people and leave, but then the pain is worth it, so I wouldn't change a thing. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. A Tico Style Wedding. This past Saturday ...

Enjoying the Journey: March 2011
http://smilesandrain.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A blog about our family adventure in Costa Rica. Sunday, March 27, 2011. And we killed the fatted calf". Our friends here decided that in honor of Alex's return, we should have a grand fiesta. In Costa Rica, that means having a pig roast.so.meet Wilbur. We actually didn't name him, since he was only with us for a short while before he became dinner and that would have traumatized poor Emma even more! Just a few of the natives here watching over the innards making sure they don't burn since they are the f...

Boston Shumways: the Captor at my Breast
http://bostonshumways.blogspot.com/2009/06/captor-at-my-breast.html
Friday, June 05, 2009. The Captor at my Breast. Warning: this post is about breasts and milk and contains the word 'poop.'. Emmeline had her first real solid food meal on her six month birthday. My mother in law gave me this book. By Sharlee Mullins Glenn. I dreamed of Oxford . . . Spires, a thousand spires, endless lectures, musty halls. A solitary self in a Bodleian expanse. A good life my dear Wormwood. An orderly life.). Then awakened to laundry. And things to be wiped. Countertops, noses, bottoms).

Boston Shumways: Welcome!
http://bostonshumways.blogspot.com/2009/06/welcome.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Welcome to all you Dare to Dream readers! If you don’t know what I’m talking about it means you’re not following the Dare to Dream blog. 8230;and you really should! How do I fit in here? Today I was the guest blogger. Something about writing that post for a larger audience than my own little blog-o-sphere made me really think hard about what I was going to say. Was it important? Would I say something that people hadn’t thought about before? Would it ring bells? I’d like to...

Boston Shumways: my birth. the story.
http://bostonshumways.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-birth-story.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. My birth. the story. I can’t believe it’s been only a little over a week since everything unfolded into the story of this little guys birth. I didn’t think it would ever happen, and then, finally and suddenly it did. Life went from this:. 160; I got up to use the bathroom, and I think that little bit of gravity really got things going because when I got back in the tub I felt pretty sure that I needed to start pushing. . I had two pretty strong pushing contractions and on the sec...
