We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09

Happy 4th of July, AND, Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary


It's so hard to imagine that the last 5 years have gone by in such a flash..... that is, until you start to count those calendar months in terms of a China Log In Date..... then it drags at a snails pace. But, today we celebrate, not only the 4th of July, but our 5 year Wedding Anniversary.We have the cutest little Stars and Stripes outfit, that every year I pull out and take a ganDer at.It's so adorable, a little patriotic shorts set, with matching stars and strips sandals....... every year I imagine Baylon running around in this outfit on our special day. Every year, I say next year will be our year..... but that case scenario has been playing out for 4 years now. China has been surprising people with older children too....... perhaps she won't even fit in this outfit, when the time comes. Perhaps she will be a he............. oh well, stranger things have happened...... Well, here's to all of the families celebrating the 4th of July, through the eyes of their adoptive Chinese Children........... here's to all of the families, just celebrating being families.Funny, our next door neighbor gave birth to a little boy a couple of days ago, and I think that she is due to bring John home this day........ so there is much to be thankful for.
Here's to viewing this day through the eyes of a child and being blessed with laughter, health, and FAMILY................. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DAVE, I LOVE YOU !!!!! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY - EVERYONE !!!!
