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)

Signing

Luke has been signing MOM, MORE, and FOOD/EAT for several days now, but yesterday morning was the first for DAD. We are pretty excited. He's also started vocalizing a little more than "mama" these days which is fun. Today I heard "baba" and "dada." He also tests his "ahhhh" at various levels fairly often. He's pretty fun to listen to. Meals are particularly noisy though. We are still unsure about Luke's level of hearing with either ear, but watching him piece signs together so quickly is so exciting and encouraging. We sure love our happy little guy.

YouTube Video

(We feel so bad about his rash on his cheeks. Doesn't seem to bother him, but it sure looks rough. Hope it clears up soon. Dr thinks it will heal on its own.)
