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)

Hope Has An Announcement

Hey Everyone! I took these pictures back on August 20 and made a Shutterfly announcement for our family sharing this news, but I thought it was about time I shared it here and gave this blog thing another try. It was such a wonderful outlet for us during Hope's adoption and first couple of years home.

It's true! Our family has some exciting news to share. Doesn't it look like Hope can hardly keep our secret?


What do you think it is?


This picture makes it a little more clear.


We are LOVING the idea of Hope becoming a big sister.


Hope is such a precious girl. She is going to be an awesome big sister. Just look into those beautiful eyes. They travel deep. She has a lot of wisdom to share with her new little sibling. We can't wait!
