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)

Swimming & Friends

This post is mostly about the pictures. But, then again, aren't they all. :)

First I thought I'd post some cute shots of Hope enjoying her pool. Uncle Mark and Aunt Andria gave her this a year ago in June when we were first home from China. She loved it then and she loves it now. (July 1)

"Mama, I'm ready Mama."

It was fun to lay down and splash Mama, too.



"I'm getting my hair wet Mama."

On July 2, we met our friends Betsy, Elizabeth, and Anna at Teddy Bear Park. Anna and Hope came home from Guangxi together so their family will always have a special place in our hearts. It was a fun morning and we're so happy we were able to spend some time together. I pretty sure the girls had a good time, too!























































I love this picture. Hope wasn't crazy about the bear and wanted to get down. She just wasn't sure how to make that happen.

This one is for Grandpa. :)

So cool - we need to get Charlotte to Teddy Bear park. I wish I would have chatted with you more on Saturday - it was all such a blur! Well, next time! :)

Keep posting those pictures Beth - she is so fun to catch up with. What a little darling!!

Teddy Bear Park looks like lots of fun! What a cute park. I did get your last email and keep meaning to respond - it was stuck in SPAM, so I moved it to jog my memory:)

Looks like you are having a wonderful summer.

Have a great weekend.
Love,
Heather
