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)

There are no words adequate ~

Thank you to all of our friends, family, and fellow bloggers who have been praying for our friend Tom. I need to write now and ask for prayers for his family and friends. Tom passed away last night. Tom was an incredible man whose spirit touched so many. You are welcome to visit his Caring Bridge Site to read his story and comments from those who loved him. His legacy will continue! What an amazing testimony!

Please, at this time, also say prayers for all workers in the building trades. I know that the electricians in the metro area have been deeply affected by this tragedy. I also know that other union organizations have been touched by Tom's experience as well. We need to pray that they are blessed with strength as they work through the loss of their "brother." We are reminded during this time, that the work of these men and women is sometimes dangerous. Please pray for their safety everyday, that they may return home to their families and loved ones every evening.

Gods blessings and peace ~ Beth

I was so sorry to hear about Tom's death. I never met him, but through checking in on his Caring Bridge site I felt like I knew him a bit. I can tell he was a wonderful man just by what people are writing in his guestbook.

Ron...know that this tragedy has given me a whole new respect for what you do. You are in my prayers!

Love to all three of you (make that 4---I can't forget Ella),

Hey there...
How very tragic and sad. I've been meaning to write a response on here, but needed a bit of time to process first. It's so easy to go day to day and not think of the dangers our husbands face every day. May we pray daily for their safety and give thanks each day for their safe return to us.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom's family. May they be surrounded by loving friends like you to support them during this.

We love you guys,
Cheryl and Chris
