Casa de Esperanza II: October 2009
http://thehopeplan.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Casa de Esperanza II. Sunday, October 11, 2009. The Things We Do That Make Us A Parent. I'm sitting at the computer in the dark. It's been a looong weekend. My poor Caleb has the dreaded H1N1 (aka: piggy flu, "Hiney" flu, whatever). Thankfully, he's doing better this morning. Fever is down a bit, he's still sleeping and I got a mostly full night's sleep. I won't whine, mind you, but I will say that I am missing 3 important things this weekend:. I sent him off to Kansas City yesterday to a Jayhawks game.

Casa de Esperanza II. Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Just a quick post: We are leaving for Spring Break in 2 1/2 weeks! Why, New Mexico, of course. All of us are waaaay too excited to be with our fam and our friends. ALL BY. MYSELF? Ok, I don't need to panic yet. We have another month before any of that takes place. I've become quite used to going to work and kissing HIM good-bye. Anna Mary turns 11 years old tomorrow (Feb. 24th)! She's so tall, skinny, beautiful, and very witty! She's always making us laugh.

Casa de Esperanza II. Monday, April 12, 2010. Ok, so it's been about forever since anyone has updated this thing, especially me. So, here ya go. First off, this past weekend was Jake's last basketball tournament; 4 games on Saturday: 10:00, 1:00, 6:00 and 8:00. Talk about "all day"! Anyway, he's been working for the past 2 weeks, along with 4-5 other guys, with former KU Jayhawks player Alonzo Jamison. At halftime the score was tied 21-21 and Jake had 19 points! Thank you, Alonzo! In and out of Africa.

Casa de Esperanza II. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Ya'll Get to See the Real Me. Hello, Peeps. This morning I thought, "It's time to let the world in on my life, if only briefly. I keep putting it off because it's been so long that I get all tied up in knots wondering what to post. Fear of blogging- Blogophobia? I dunno. Ok, this is my "Personal Thots" paragraph. Why am I so hesitant to be me right now? Sorry, family if my choice of words causes you to gasp. Sometimes there ARE no other words. Am I a failure?
