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)

SNOW!

We've had such a strange winter so far with snow. We missed out on playing in some of the first fluffy snow with some of Grandpa's services and Christmas celebrations but it was wonderful to have an actual "white" Christmas. It was so pretty. Then...of course, we had a period of warmer temperatures and most of the snow melted! Don't ask Ron about his snow fort. It was pretty devastating. Well, it was snowing this morning again. I'm not sure that we'll see much accumulation, but I thought I'd post some photos and video to share Hope's first experiences with the white stuff.

Hope's first snow (I'm pretty sure) was back in mid November. We had a dusting and took Hope out to the back yard for a few photos. They were posted here in a special note to Grandma and Grandpa since they were out of town. She wasn't too sure what to think. Her expressions are pretty cute.

These new pictures and video were taken just after Christmas on Dec. 28th. We had some beautiful snow and Hope LOVED it!








SQUEALS OF JOY!
