Comings and goings.....

a little reading time with Daddy
The Vol had a middle school awards banquet last night.  Unfortunately, it is like pulling teeth to get him to smile nowadays.  He really was happy..... I promise.  Of course, the Princess was right in the middle of the action.  She did well considering the late hour and managed to entertain herself with a piece of gum.  Thank you Popi!  We are proud of him.  He works hard and doesn't seek many accolades.


The Frog and her Dad did a fun run for a school fundraiser.  Unfortunately, the events were held at the same time so I don't have pictures of the run.

Hip Hip Hoooray!

We are out of translation and now in 'process' looks like we are closer to getting our LOA!!!




A red thread to China was cast today
From us to a child so far away.
This thread symbolizes an attachment of hearts
That distance alone can't keep us apart.

His mother and I are caught in a chase
That time alone will bring us to face
This loving young child we want so much to greet
With love in our hearts before we did meet.

This tiny, thin thread may stretch, tangle or fray
But our love for him grows stronger each day.
Through the test of time it won't break or sever
He'll be part of us forever and ever.

With oceans between us, the distance is spanned
By a love that is greather than man could have planned.
For God in His mercy loved him and us
And decided our family would be a great plus.

So for now we'll just love him and pray every day
That God keeps him and loves him for us till we may
Travel to China, that land of great past,
To the side of our son, to hold him at last.

A Mother's Love

She left you one morning,
She had no choice.
In a country of millions
She had just one voice.

The law made it clear
One child would do.
To obey it would mean
No hope for you.

As she laid you down
Her eyes became blurried.
On saying goodbye
Said don't you worry.

Another will come
To take my place.
A mother will come
From a different race.

She'll hold you and love you
As if you're her own.
She'll take you away
To a brand new home.

She then ran away
Her heart broke in two.
Don't ever forget
Of my love for you.
