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)

We know you want photos everyone ;)

Here are a few pictures from today. Dad, thanks for taking the first couple this morning and for getting them to us already. And, thanks again for the ride to the airport.

Beth, I miss our chats in the morning!! I am so excited for you two, can't wait to get to work every morning to check the blog. (Slow computer at home, not the same as fast ones at work.) Besides, who wants to work when you two are trapsing around China and picking up lil' Miss Hope! Take care, thinking of you often. Melissa Barg

Hey you guys...
You're going to get SO sick of my responses to your posts. LOVE the pictures. How fun to have another family to travel with. Loving your posts and, like the others have responded, it's so much fun to read about your adventures. It's pretty humid here today so I'm thinking of you guys being in humid China right now. Wish the Chinese restaurant in Baldwin was open so I could have some Chinese food in your honor today. Maybe I'll get some in River Falls this weekend!!
Love you both.
Melody (Mark and Hope B, too)

I can't believe how close she is to your fingertips and kisses. Have an absolute blast these last couple days as you will never have another completely restful uninterrupted sleep ever (but you get used to it quite quickly)! I wait anxiously for more updates!
Love to you all, Isaac and Jody
