Eli & me
My mom has pneumonia! But we’re going to Miami after all!
By Joy A. Kennelly
Went to Rolling Hills to watch the inspirational surf film, but got so turned around trying to find it I was really late arriving and it was “maxed out” according to the door guy. I was pretty bummed because I was really looking forward to seeing it, but turns out I was [...]
Feeling much better – spoke to my son today!
By Joy A. Kennelly
Since last writing my bronchitis is almost completely cured. Yeah! Went to the doctor today and got more medicine to help with the final stages. I feel SOOOO much better it’s not even funny. Thank you God in heaven for Z-packs and loving friends who care.
My poor mom now has caught this [...]
My little guy is too cute!
By Joy A. Kennellys
Every time I get reamed by someone, God gives me something wonderful to counter-balance the effect. Today’s counter-balance was the sweetest little letter from my son, Eli, thanking me for the gifts I sent him with pictures he drew to elaborate how much he really liked everything and thought everything was so [...]
Complicated relationships create complicated situations I’ve found. You?

I’ve not wanted to share this, but feel the [...]
Things I miss sharing with my son…
By Joy A. Kennelly
This was something I wrote 12/24/06 on my other blog, Pure, Unadulterated Joy. Enjoy!
Lisa and I caught Night At The Museum which is very cute (their website is a little annoying though because they’re trying so hard to be interesting that it’s not very easy to upload or navigate. Was trying to [...]
My son loves the water and me. I love him too…
By Joy A. Kennelly
This is from something I wrote October 25, 2006 on my Pure, Unadulterated Joy blog. I’m loving this little walk down memory lane. Enjoy!
Elijah, my son who lives with his adoptive parents, absolutely loves the water despite his adoptive parents not being into it as much. Could be because I still went [...]
