Through Scott's eyes

Deanne had heard that a camera would be a great thing to give to an older adopted child.  Holy cow, was that right! Scott is just short of 1,000 pictures with his camera in less than a week.  The follpwing 16 photos are obviously just a fraction of the 1,000.  Many of them are blurry (between not being able to hold the camera steady and not waiting for the autofocus to kick in) and sometimes there are 10 of the same thing.  But here are a few glimpses into the world according Scott....   

Creed opening a bag of dried mangos. 

Scott's soda.

Self portraits are common.

The sink drain.  I am sure if the right person painted this piece of art, it would be worth millions.

Brothers.

I don't know if he realized there was a mirror in back of the cabinet where we keep the snack food.  But it worked well to catch him in the act.

He gave Pierce his camera to record his good looks.

He then had to get one of Pierce's good looks. 

He often takes pictures of the Skype sessions.  Her is mom, Bria and Gideon.

Why not?

One of his favorite cartoons on the TV.  I think if we had a way to scroll through the photos he took of this cartoon, we could probably watch the whole thing.

Me making his noodles.

Almost done with his noodles.

He has taken a picture of almost all of his photos on the 3 CDs the orphanage gave him.  So now I have them on my laptop as first generation copies from the CD's and now as second generation pictures of pictures.

He has taken a picutre of almost all of his posessions.  This is a video we purchased for him today.

    Sounds like a normal teenager. I know every time the kids get my phone or camera I end up with some very interesting pictures.

Christmas Concert

Last night we had the opportunity to go see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra with Alfie Boe and Tom Brokaw. It was fantastic!!! Tyler and Jessica were honored to be dancers in it. I think I was the proudest Mama there. Doug and I just smiled the whole time they were on stage. One dance Jessica was right in front but we couldn't see Tyler. That was fine we could watch Jessica the whole time without splitting our attention  She is so graceful and beautiful. We sure love her. Then part way through the song a couple came out dressed in a gold gown and tails. They danced up and down the stairs reminiscent of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It didn't take long to notice it was Tyler. He was graceful. They danced beautifully! Seeing Alfie Boe perform was great. He has a beautiful voice and is very unassuming. After his first song he took a couple of minutes to speak. One thing he said was that being there was a dream come true. My heart almost burs...

The Power of Love

We have been playing music for Casey in hopes of facilitating greater healing of his brain. We have read studies and heard stories of people that played classical music, specifically Beethoven's Symphony Number 9. Today I turned on the station and beautiful rendition played. It brought a greater peace and calm to the room. I pondered on my desire to one that can help heal through light and peace. A song came on that changed the vibration in my soul to a greater level.  (I don't know how to describe the feeling but listen and feel what is going on inside of you as you play different kinds of music. It may take a few times but you will feel it.) I looked down to see what the song was. The title of the album was The Power of Love. A flood of thoughts came to my mind. The power of Christ's love heals all things. EVERYTHING! I looked at Casey and told him that it is through Jesus Christ and his atonement, which is pure love, he will be healed. I was filled with that love and a s...

Our Adoption Journey In a Very Small Nut Shell

I'm not sure that I have ever put down in the blog our journey to adoption. With 9 adopted children and a story that started many years ago this could be a long post. I will try to give the most important information but I'm sure there will be holes left. If you would like to ask questions feel free to do so. If there is enough interest I will answer those questions in a separate post not just in the comments. If your questions are personal and you don't want to share you are welcome to email me and I promise I will get back to you! Our first experience with adoption was in the first year of our marriage. We were approached with the possibility of adopting 3 girls under the age of 10. I was still working but had the plans to be a stay at home mom. If we were to take the girls I would need to stay home and Doug take full responsibility of the finances. It was a hard decision but we chose to go forward. The adoption fell through but the seeds were planted. When our secon...
