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)

Group 91 & Friends Retreat @LPBC 2012

It's 1:30 in the morning and I've been a packing fool. But, I can't go to bed without a quick update from our wonderful weekend. This also gives me another chance to test post from the iPad.

I was honored to coordinate the third annual retreat for our first China travel group at Luther Point Bible Camp in Grantsburg, WI. This is the camp I grew up attending and also the place where I spent two summers as a counselor, so it is hard for me to even express just how precious this place is to me. I welcome you to my happy place. I took these pictures quickly on Friday night. I was afraid I missed the sunset, but I was able to catch a couple shots.






Here are just a few more highlights from the weekend.

The Girls of Guangxi...get the giggles. :)


One of our last "family of three" pictures???


There are many many more pictures and I'll have to find time to send some individually to families. We really had an amazing weekend. It was exactly what we needed (well, for me anyway). My emotions are running high and right on the surface right now. I can't believe that in just one short week we'll be holding our little boy! Anyway, this weekend did so much to just take my stress level right down. There is nothing like time at LPBC with family and friends.
