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)

County Fair 7/18/08

We headed over to the county fair last Friday night to see the animals. Hope was talking about horses the whole time. We showed her cows/calves, chickens, bunnies, hamsters and other rodents, pigs, sheep, llamas...TONS of animals, but she couldn't stop talking about the horses.

We got to the fair and had a yummy hot beef sandwich. While we were sitting there we saw Great-Grandma Heutmaker which was fun. We usually expect to run into her while we're there since she lives a block away, but we just never know. Hope was pretty happy to see her. They watched the juggling show for a bit before we decided to head off on a mission in search of animals.

Checking Out the Chickens (click to enlarge this one for a fun expression)

There was a guinea pig being brushed on the table they were watching here.

Horses...FINALLY!



We stopped by one particular horse and Hope thought it was a riot when he was biting hay out of his feed bag on the door. She also is practicing her sign language in this video.

On our way back from the horses, we ran into cousin Mitchell and Uncle Rick. They were on their way to the tractor pull. Here is proud Daddy/Uncle Ron with two of his favorite children in the whole world.

Hope and Daddy shared an ice cream cone just before we headed to the car.

Hope smelling the flowers on our walk back. I love the vibrant colors here. You can see just how beautiful an evening we had.
