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)

Arena - II

Here is the rest of the Arena photos. See the previous post for the start of our day.

Geocaching






Pumpkin Carving




Arena - I

Heads up guys...lots 'o photos on the way...

We went to Arena, WI to visit Mark & Andria a couple weekends ago (Sept. 28-30). It was sort of last minute planning, but it turned out to be a wonderful weekend. Hope traveled very well. I was a little nervous about having to be in the car for so long since this was our longest trip since arriving home. She did great! We eventually stopped at a rest area and put Hope in her p.j.'s. She wasn't awake long after that. O.K. I'm going to let the photos tell our story now. We had a FULL Saturday with the petting zoo/pumpkin patch, geocaching, and pumpkin carving. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Thanks for having us down guys! We love you!

What can I say...

...we're in love!

This was a photo from one of our geocaching outings a few weeks ago. She's trying to kiss me on the cheek! SO SWEET!

The Shirt Says It All

Mommy's Little Treasure!!












You could tell that Mommy missed Hope (and me) when she attended the christian women's conference. Looks like she is happy to be home.

Daddy's little helper

Hope and I spent the day together while mommy attended a conference. We had a good time and were also in charge of taking care of Aunt Tami and Uncle Brian's dog, George. So, if a picture is worth a thousand words, this should priceless.
