THE SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2010.

January 14, 2021

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2010. There were a few incidences last week that set into motion our current vagabond existence: The Rat On Monday morning, Jafta woke up early to use the bathroom, and we suddenly heard him calling for help.  Mark ran in to find Jafta staring at a rat in the toilet. THE LID HAD BEEN CLOSED.  I can’t decide which part of this story is more bizarre: the fact that this rat somehow swam up through the plumbing, or that fact that . . .

Wednesday’s Child: 10-year-old Jevonte

January 13, 2021

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

Meanwhile my kids and I were met with riot gear at a . . .

MORNING, INTERRUPTED | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2012.

January 7, 2021

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From July 2012.  I woke up this morning to a phone call from Diane Sawyer’s producer. An hour and a half later there was a film crew at my house. So. I guess we’re on World News with Diane Sawyer tonight?  I think it’s at 6:30. [EDITED: NOT TONIGHT. LATER THIS WEEK]  They are doing a follow-up to the orphans Diane visited right after the quake.  (That would be Kembe in her arms.  Can’t express how that felt – seeing him on the news happy . . .
