Well, it’s here. Adam Ronald Thomas has turned one. Can you believe it? What a year. We’ve had a bit of a stuggle with Adam’s weight gain. Today, he came in at 16lbs 1oz. A bit short from where his doctor wanted him, however, the doctor said, “he’s growing at his own rate.” It’s tough [...]

Sorry to everyone for not keeping up-to-date with this site as I’ve done in the past. I’m even behind in my POTW project. However, I have been under “house arrest” in blogger land. It seems as if the “Blogger Robot Police” thought my page was a SPAM page and it blocked it until I could [...]

I feel guilty for not keeping up-to-date with everyone on how life is for the Thomas family. All is fine. Adam is doing very well. If you take a look at my POTW you will see chunky cheek Adam getting his first haircut. I don’t think he was ready for it. It’s not a great [...]

What a week. I learned that a missionary friend, age 30, in Uganda was killed in auto accident and one of my former students father, age 52, died from a massive stroke. What a week. Today was the memorial service for Nicks father. Nick was one of those students I worked with who either was [...]

Just an update on our storm situation… The storm front was “deflated” and our “2nd” wind storm turned into a breeze storm. A true blessing. There are still around 7000 families without power. Many have loss and some lack insurance. I came across this terrible scene… A single mom and her daughter went shopping… when [...]

If you live in the NW, you might have been a part of the major storm that moved through on Sunday. Here in Central Washington, we had the worst storm since I’ve been here. Wind gust up to 73 MPH for 7 hours. As I drove around today, I thought I was back in Louisiana [...]

An entire year has passed and I have arrived at the end of my photo-a-week project. I can say it’s been a lot of fun and it has been a real pain. Sometimes the photos came early… other times, late Saturday night. Yet, 52 photos have come to an end and it really has been [...]

I pray the this time of the year you are reminded of all the TRUE blessings you have. peace.johno~

Well, I’m having a fun time in my little home studio… our dining room. I have to thank my friend Jason Hill for pointing me to this site Stobist. My lighting skill are challenged because my studio is small… It’s small, really small, but it works. Mondays are my day off and so I usually [...]

First off, my apologies to everyone waiting to hear how things are going with Adam. I am very thankful for your prayers and thoughts. Adam is doing very well. At his last appointment he weighted in at 13 lbs. and 15 oz. That’s only one ounce off from the target weight set one month ago [...]
