Yes, this is a Thanksgiving paper! We are enough ahead of schedule, that we are pretty close to Thanksgiving in our schoolwork.
This week I am going to write about something that I really don’t notice much, but that does come up from time-to-time: Kara’s hands. Kara had multiple birth defects, some of which have been [...]

UPDATE: I am happy to report that I have been contacted by a family that can use the shoes, so they are no longer available.
As most of my readers already know, our daughter Kara has a corrected clubbed foot. Although the foot is straight, it will always be smaller than her “normal” foot, and [...]

We met today with the orthopedic surgeon who performed Kara’s clubbed foot surgery in May 2007, and I am very happy to report that her foot is doing very well! Yes, I posted yesterday that her foot has really been turning in, but it ends up that this in-toeing has nothing to do with her [...]

Yesterday our pastor gave a great sermon from Acts 3:1-10. This passage is the story about the lame man who was healed in the name of Jesus Christ by Peter and John. As he was giving this message, I couldn’t help but to be stirred as he described the straightening of this man’s [...]

Most of my readers are aware that our beautiful daughter Kara was adopted from China. She had a severely clubbed foot at the time of her adoption, and we have had it surgically corrected. She is an absolute delight to our family, and her resilient courage that she has shown in facing her special needs [...]

I’ll tell you what: I am so thankful to be able to order from Payless Shoes on the internet! We live in a very small, rural town where there really are not very many stores. In fact, there is really only one true shoe store in town, and it has outrageous prices.
Of course, there is [...]

We will be leaving tomorrow for our annual Thanksgiving get-together with Dan’s family. Before we leave, I want to be sure to express my thanksgiving to my Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ. He has truly been so good to me. He provides all I need every day, and I rest in His loving care.
I am going [...]

A few months ago, I received a telephone call from a lady whom I had never met. This lady has since become a special friend. She had found Kara’s adoption story on the internet, and God had used Kara to lead her and her husband to pursue the adoption of a girl with clubbed feet. [...]

One year ago today, The Prairie Family Chronicles made its official debut. There are entries dated earlier than that, but those were transferred from an earlier blog that I had started to record our adoption journey. So, the first “live” entries began September 12, 2007.
This has been a fun hobby and outlet for me. It [...]
