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)

I Missed It

I thought I'd already posted pictures from when my brother and sister-in-law visited for the weekend and we celebrated Christmas with my side of the family. I just missed it. Here are some highlights of that weekend.

Perry Christmas Tree 2008



Mark and Andria were given some clothes that Mark wore as a baby. Can't you just envision my cute little brother in that sweater. :)

Andria's new necklace. Somebody has good taste.

Helping Grandpa - Hope had a fun time this year handing out all the gifts. She wanted to help open most of them, but when she needed to, she was also patient and waited her turn. I was pretty proud of how she resisted temptation.

Wonder what stories Hope is telling here.

My great gift from M&A.

And...Hope is done. haha

Puzzle Time - Hope was given her first 24 pc. puzzles for Christmas and she's doing them like a pro!


Time to "PAY!" Tea Anyone?



Checking out our first issues of "Real Simple."

We gave Grandma and Grandpa a book that chronicles an adoption trip to Guangxi very similar to our journey. Check it out here.

First game of "Hi-Ho Cheerio." Hope WON! Boy it's hard to leave those cherries alone.

Family Pictures



Look who snuck into this picture. haha

Bro and Sis - Up North/Lake Superior North Shore is one of the best places to be.

Please don't worry about missing one get-together -- I'm catching up the whole month of December!! I don't know where the time goes but I told me husband, "this is the weekend for catch-up!" It is so much fun to see Hope growing so quickly. Happy New Year!
