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)

All together..."AAAWWWWW"

We could use some prayers for healing along with some plain ol' sympathy. Hope is sick, sick, sick. She started coughing on Saturday, has had a fever (never over 102.1, but still warm and fluctuating), etc, and everything else to go with it. Anyway, at the Dr. this afternoon we found out that it all boils down to an ear infection and a bad, bad cold. The coughing is the worst! It is so scary when she gets going and can't catch her breath. She gets scared too and starts to cry, which creates more "gunk" and perpetuates the whole cycle. The Dr. said she may possibly have strep since her throat is so red, but he said the antibiotic for the ear would take that out too if it is more than just a sore throat. We've had a rough couple of days without a lot of good sleep, so if you could take a moment to send a couple prayers and good wishes our way we'd really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone.

Beth

Oh Hope. We will definitely pray for you to get better SOON!!! It's no fun having a cold, that's for sure. Your friend Hope had a little one last week, too, so it must be going around. Tell your Mommy and Daddy that we'll be praying for them, too. We love you!!!

Oh, I hope she gets better soon! It's no fun to be sick (or to be the mommy/daddy of a sick little one).
