The Traveling German's Wife. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. A Week and a Half of Sunshine. Sowhat do you do when you've had it with the freezing cold, miserable winter? Why, you go visit Grammy, Granddad and Aunt Jenni in sunny AZ! I got a fun sun hat and loved not wearing long pants or socks for a week and a half! I figured out that dipping my toes in the water was more fun if I held my head sideways. I liked these Grammy and Granddad peeps, but the water was waaaaay fun, too. We visited this crew. What they ...

The Traveling German's Wife: Wesley's Birth Story
http://thethomps.blogspot.com/2013/09/wesleys-birth-story.html
The Traveling German's Wife. Sunday, September 29, 2013. It's been a long time coming (15 1/2 months), but here is the story of our little Wesman's birth. Of course, my parents weren't in town yet, so we had to drop Vivian at my aunt's house. Thankfully she was home and was able to watch her! I guess it was a good thing I listened to my body and not the on-call doctor! Because I was 36 weeks, 6 days gestation when I went into labor, a NICU team had to be in the room. They did a preliminary check and ...

The Traveling German's Wife. Sunday, July 31, 2011. But she's still a good baby. And her awesome baby laughs and smiles make my heart melt. I do have to mention that recent accomplishments include saying "ight" and pointing at the light on the ceiling fan and figuring out how to feed Cheerios to the dogs (you would think Qui would want to be her BFF for that alone! Here's our big girl this month:. The best 10-month b-day present EVER. A big container of Cheerios! Dada is clearly hilarious. She has, obvio...

The Traveling German's Wife. Thursday, June 12, 2014. Two orphans in dire need of our help. This BABY will be in an ADULT institution as of December. Ernie will most likely die from exposure, abuse, or malnutrition within his first year in the institution. Why are these boys being transferred? People with disabilities deserve to be loved and poured into. They can thrive and lead "normal" lives! Can you see the warped lens through which they're being viewed? Gene is in a country where the adoption process...

The Traveling German's Wife. Sunday, August 28, 2011. Oh my goodness. One more month and Vivian will be the big O-N-E! I'd like to report that taking the monthly photos has gotten easier, that she sits well and does not wiggle, and is generally cooperative so that mommy can get. A million cute pics. One nice picture. Alas, that is not the case. I'm going to throw in a few pics we took earlier in the week so you can see how much she's changed. She really is turning into a big girl! Hair bow from Grammy.
