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)

Goodbye Grandpa

Today we say goodbye to our beloved grandpa "Hoot." He's resting in absolute peace tonight. Grandpa loved his family. I pray that he can now see his new great-granddaughter's beautiful smile through clear eyes and that he's smiling right along with her. I'm just so happy that he got to meet Hope and that she was able spend a little time with him.

Peace.

Ray Heutmaker (Grandpa "Hoot") - 101 yrs. old

Beth - you have had the most emotional year of anyone I know. I haven't been to visit in a while and boy, do I have some catching up to do. I am so sorry for your loss but know that you will be joyful when you meet again. Praise God for precious Hope and all the joy she brings to your world.

Love to you, friend
