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)

Luke's Shower


Lovely Hostesses - Tana and Jody, wonderful friends and amazing moms I admire.  You completely outdid yourselves girls.  You know I'm emotional, but seriously...this morning meant so much to me!

~~~~~
We got to have a shower!!! I never expected that we would be so lucky!  There was an amazing group of ladies and daughters there to celebrate with us.  New friends and old, family and neighbors....it was SO FUN!  Here are some of the special people who joined us for the morning:
Tricia and Lauren - Tricia and I have been friends since childhood and we are Lauren's Godparents.
Cheryl and Malea - Cheryl's husband, Chris, and Ron were classmates at SPC.  Cheryl and I became FAST friends.  She's awesome...and so is their daughter Malea, also our Goddaughter.
Betsy, Debbie, and Luke - Betsy and Debbie are Group 91 Moms.  We love them and their families!
Some of the girls from the BW Class of 1993 
Jen and Claire - Jen and I go waaaaay back to the hospital nursery.  Her beautiful daughter, Claire, is the same age as Hope.
Mom and Pastor Carrie - We are loving getting to know our new friend and Pastor! 
Wendy and Hannah - Wendy and I met in a sign language class at SPC in 1996(?).  We've been close friends ever since, have taken family vacations together, and we are also Hannah's Godparents.

Keri is one of my oldest and dearest girlfriends.  We grew up across the street from each other.

We'll leave this picture larger because you MUST see all this cuteness.  :)  These are some of the young ladies who were there.

Even though this is blurry, I love the way Hope and Malea are looking at each other.  (God-daughter-sisters)
Perry Girls - Mom and Andria - Love my Mom, and Love my Sister-in-law!
