November 2011 Adventures on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I’ve returned to cooking many new and old things from scratch with adoption of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for Bethie. It’s very time consuming, but hopefully, by the grace of God, all the healthy food will enable Bethie to gain weight so she is not underweight any more, as well as sleep better at night. Thank you dear friends for your prayers as we seek God for wisdom and help. James 1:5

January 8, 2011 New Year’s Prayer
Lord, bring to light what I do not know.
Lord, warn them of what I am not aware.
Lord, whisper to them what I have forgotten.
Lord, teach them of what I have omitted.
Lord, be for them what I cannot be.
Lord, love them as only You can and
give them wisdom to understand that
You are truly all they ever truly need.

August 9, 2010 Alissa Is Now 19!
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
We had a birthday party for Alissa’s 19th birthday this year. Our “adopted” daughter Ashley was turning 21 around the same time, so we decided to celebrate both birthdays at one party. It was alot of fun! Crystal baked the strawberry cake for Ashley, and I think I baked the chocolate cake for Alissa. Danielle set the table and Bethie decorated! 1 comment October 2, 2010

May 14, 2010 Making “Name” bookmarks
We got a letter today from a someone in prison who we’ve been trying to encourage by mail, and he had enclosed some really cool “Name” bookmarks. After the girls finished school, they decided to make their own for friends!
They ended up making about 12 of them for friends in their homeschool group! What a great idea!

February 26, 2010 Bethie goes to Pure NRG!
Bethie went to Pure NRG concert as a “date night” with her Daddy for a special birthday present. God had Bethie in mind when He brought Pure NRG to Soddy Daisy just 2 days after Bethie turned 12! Thank you Lord!

New Home for the Passburgs
I found this picture that Danielle had drawn for me in January. I kept saying I didn’t get what I wanted for Christmas. . . so she drew this for me on her own. .
Bethie TURNS 12 and we get the keys to the new house on her birthday!

January 28, 2010 Cake Contest Was A Blast!
We had a blast decorating these cakes for a cake contest. One of my homeschool mom friends thought of doing this. Crystal’s cake was a kitty-cat cake, Bethie’s was the cake with green icing–those are horses on the top, and Danielle’s was a sweetheart cake.
