Ordinary work, which is what most of us do most of the time, is ordained by God every bit as much as is the extraordinary. All work done for God is spiritual work and therefore not merely a duty but a holy privilege.

Hey Clay: A Timberdoodle Review

    Little Boy

    / January 4, 2010

    It wasn’t just the first Christmas we ever went to Disney. Nor was it just the first time we visited my Dad & Jenny at their new place in Florida. Or even just the first time we stayed at the Phelps’ house. There was another first this year. For a little boy. Named Otto Fox Wilder. It was his first…

    Classic

    / January 3, 2010

    And it just would not be a trip to Disney without meeting these guys. Do you notice one Keiglet missing? Yes. Bergen waited in line for over forty minutes to meet Mickey and Minnie. At the very last minute, however, he bailed. After forty minutes waiting in line – it was not worth a battle.

    / January 3, 2010

    Birthdays. I love them. Mosely celebrated Six while we were on our vacation. In honor of that number and that stinkin’ adorable little girl – here are Six things I love about Mosely. One. She loves her little sister. When Mosely wakes up in the mornings she eases up to my side of the bed and asks quietly, “May I…

    Bergen’s Choice

    / January 2, 2010

    We stopped at candy stores. More than once. Each Keigley was allowed to choose one treat. Whatever they wanted. Mosely and London chose cotton candy. (I think they were influenced by the sheer size of the bag. They’re into quantity right now.) I chose a chocolate covered strawberry that was practically the size of my hand. (Maybe I am into…

    At some point during our Florida Adventure we made our way to San Antonio. Florida, of course. We were finally able to visit my dad and Jenny at their new home. We were greeted at the door by Darryl – a super handsome greyhound who used to be quite the competitor. Piper was his biggest fan. She tried to sleep…

    The Waiting Is the Hardest Part

    / January 1, 2010

    At Disney’s Kingdom of Good Times, we spent a fair amount of our day waiting in lines. While in line, we chatted. We told stories. We made funny faces. We yawned. Otto Fox slept. And Piper played her own special Waiting in Line game – she pretended to pull off tiny parts of Daddy’s face and then proceeded to pretend…

    What Seems So Fun . . .

    / January 1, 2010

    Our kids love PBS. Mosely even watches a little too much – remember? A lot of PBS shows are sponsored by Rainforest Cafe. So our kids naturally ask, “When can we go to Rainforest Cafe?” Guess what restaurant is located at Downtown Disney? Yep. So we’ve been talking this place up for months. The kids are all so excited. They…

    At lunch yesterday Mosely made a very unusual comment that seemed to be right out of left field. “I wish I could meet my first parents one day,” she said. My head actually whipped toward her – it was such an unexpected comment. We have made the choice to speak normally and often about Mosely’s adoption and her introduction to…
