About Me

My photo
I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.

Adventures in Boyaca (continued)





 Julian, hot and tired after a long morning looking at dinosaurs out in the heat
Shopping in Raquira



Villa de Leyva
 The "hotel" we stayed at in Sachica (a retreat center for churches run by the sweetest Christian ladies)
 An hour wait to go horseback riding

 David on his horse, Diablo, with Juan David close behind on his horse, Caracol.  I stayed in the lead with my horse, Amadeo, until the very end, when Caracol (Snail) took the lead.  Very ironic.
 Our view of Villa de Leyva from where the horses took us on our hour ride
 Julian and MariAntonia very pleased with their ride
 Pozos azules--beautiful blue water in a man-made pond in the middle of nowhere
 All three boys in age order

 All three boys in order of courage level
 Love those Colombian smiles (LOL--getting them to smile for a posed picture is like pulling teeth)
