Dishes
Today I simply wanted to give you a glimpse of a daily routine around here...washing dishes. Honestly, I normally didn't mind doing dishes, especially with a crowd in the kitchen helping! We did have a dish washer in Phoenix so I didn't have many dish washing...
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y
Not exactly your typical Saturday, but close. With 29 kids there are bound to be several birthdays during one month so we've decided to celebrate birthdays monthly. Today we celebrated May birthdays which included Caleb, Ceciliah, Pius and Esther. Esther was with Ann...

Sweet water!
It's one thing for me and Chuck to be out of water (I complain but we get by), but when the kids are without water it's a major issue. 29 kids bathing, washing clothes, cleaning dishes, mopping floors, etc. makes for a difficult time. Recently the pump went down and...
Edward’s story
Let me begin this story back in April 2011. Edward was suddenly dropped off at a children's home. A sad beginning but exactly how Edward's story with us begins. Saved By God's Grace was working with this home (at that time we were just beginning to see the...
