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)

April 28th Video & News

Hello everyone...friends...family...others who stop by once in a while...

First things first: I know that I owe an update. First of all I wanted to say thank you to all who've been praying for me. I'm still not feeling great, but I have an appointment Thursday that will hopefully lead me toward some more answers. I know it is hard to read all this without many details, but I'm just not comfortable sharing it with the world. Just know that I'm thankful for the compassion and caring that I've received from many of you. I'm truly blessed.

Now for some catching up:

If you read the previous post/story and had a good chuckle, this video should prompt a belly laugh. This is the little girl who greets my parents every morning. She is happy, playful, and ready for the day. But, on Monday morning last week (4/28) she announced a special surprise. Luckily she hadn't yet had the opportunity to leave any wet surprises in the corner of her bed again. :)

This next video was also taken on 4/28. We went out for dinner with Uncle Brian and Aunt Tami and I guess Hope thought they were pretty silly that evening. Maybe it was her daddy who got her started...I'm just not sure. :) If you didn't giggle with the last video clip, you'll have to along with this one. It is completely contagious. Have fun!

Final big news for April 28, 2008: Hope's first 2 yr. molar (bottom right) showed visible signs of forced entry. We have been going through some yucky diaper stuff, excessive drool, fists in the mouth, and extreme toddler emotions for the past couple of weeks. We've suspected those pesky molars, but now we know. Our little girl is getting so big. Look at this mouth full of chompers! Doesn't Hope just have the most beautiful smile (not to mention fashion sense)?

FYI - Her onsie says "Exquisitly Fashioned by the Father" on the front. The back reads, "Then God saw everything that He had made and it was good." I would definitely agree!

More updates to come. I've started a couple of posts, but need some time to sort and choose pictures. Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of the week.
