Welcome to our family website.

This blog, which began as a therapeutic outlet during the wait for our daughter's arrival, morphed into a place to share feelings, ask for support, and flip through a virtual 'brag book' of photos. NOW, as we embark on our second adoption trek, please join us as we plan, pray, and travel again to the other side of the world to be united with the next piece of our family puzzle.

Peace & Blessings...Beth & Ron (and Hope too)

Sippie Saver

I wanted to update and thank everyone who has supported us with our "sippie saver" fundraiser over the past months. We've received most of the sippie cups back and have found some amazing surprises inside. We asked for spare change and we are totally humbled by the results. After a few trips to the bank with full cups and the jar that we've poured them all into on the kitchen counter, we are overwhelmed! I have no words! Below are a couple pictures from our first trip to the bank for deposit into Hope's account. Can you believe the jar?!

"How 36 lbs. can change a life!" - We weighed the jar on the bathroom scale & then weighed it full. :)















These next few shots are from the very first "sippie" we were given from Auntie Andria and Uncle Mark. They were so generous with Hope's gift. I think with that bottle, their sippie contribution is intended for Hope to use a little later on. :) This was last July when we first started thinking about doing this fundraiser. Look at my short hair (and Ella's! - guess she'd just had a visit to the groomer)!


This was our most recent trip to the credit union last weekend. Again...amazing outpouring of gifts for Hope.
