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)

CNY - Sunday

As Promised: Here are some highlights from the rest of our weekend.
Hope - Dressed for Church - She got quite a bit of attention that morning. ;) I'm even willing to post this horrible picture of me, puffy face and all (we were all so sick), because it was so special for us to celebrate this holiday weekend together.




"Comee?" (translation = coming?)


Sunday Afternoon ~ Just Cute!


Uncle Mark & Aunt Andria...AND Stella!

Grandma & Marka ~


Hope & Ella say "goodbye" to our weekend guests ~

Sunday afternoon, while her parents crashed after everyone left, Hope played in her room. She is so good at being creative and keeping herself occupied/entertained. It is fun to just watch her play. She's busy all the time. :) One of the newest intellectual developments...this girl knows her shapes! She has a couple of choices for shape toys, but this bucket was the favorite of the day. So far Hope knows circle, square, triangle, star, and heart. I snuck up on Hope for a couple photos of her playing. I'll have to see if we can get some of the video uploaded soon, too.

"Hello and welcome to my room."


Precious Father-Daughter Moment

Hope showing off her shirt - one of our favorites. ;) Made in Heaven is right!

I love Hope's hair in the pigtails! Can Olivia borrow some of Hope's hair for the wedding on Saturday? Still no idea what we'll do with her hair :( Love that t-shirt! Where did you find it? I'll send you the pics from this weekend but they're really big...should I have Dave shrink them?

Hi Beth,
I just saw your post on Shelly and Brent's post, so I thought I would come over and say "hi!" We came home right before you with Ruby Mei last year. We are in EP. I am going to host an event here in April for the Red Thread Group. I hope you can make it with Hope. She is absolutely precious!
Blessings,
Diana
