New picture.......

This is a picture of our sweet girl taken before surgery!  We were so excited to get an update!

news..

We received word that our baby is recovering from surgery and they will send us updated pictures soon!  We are so excited to get this little piece of information!

Resist.......

I couldn't resist these shirts for our girls.  We are all so very excited.  Yesterday, the egg roll asked me if we were going to get her sister.  The wait will be 'long' again... sigh.....  we are working on it  little dumpling... hang in there....

Weather.....

The egg roll and I have been under the weather this past week.  We just about had enough of the coughing and 103 fever.  Poor egg roll, she just wasn't herself and couldn't really tell me what she wanted.  She finally ate what I would call a 'meal' today after a week of pretty much nothing. We have been doing antibiotics, steroids, and breathing treatments.  The final diagnosis was bronchitis and pneumonitis.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel today.  She perked up to do  some 'homework' which she had assigned herself.  We are hoping for a better weekend.  Love to all!

NEWS....................

After much prayer and thought, we have

 begun our journey to bring home another

blessing from China.

She just turned one in June.  Please pray

 for us as we embark on a long paperchase

 to bring our little girl home.  Our family is

over the moon excited!

Stay tuned for more details!!!

Something to ponder.....

I read this blog post by an adoptive mother who is also a gifted author and speaker. The post is called "After the Airport." And if you're pondering adoption or preparing for your journey, you must read it. I found the post to be extremely honest and insightful.

It is easy to get caught up in the beautiful homecoming moments. But when all of the excitement dies down, many challenges are present. Many days can be really really difficult.  I am thankful that Jen has shared her heart in this post so honestly and openly.
