It seems like only yesterday that we saw the sweet faces of our newest daughters, their innocent smiles and timid expressions forever captured on a few photographs and videos for all the world to see. We were so drawn by the girl’s precious knowing eyes, so full of memories and stories of which we have […] Read more…
Various and Sundry Things
The last few days and weeks before we travel have passed so quickly. There is so much to do to get ready for the girls and so much to do to keep up with our big family. I have had so much to blog about, but haven’t been able to find a few quiet minutes […] Read more…
Parting The Waters
By God’s grace, we will travel in about five weeks.
Wow.
When we began this journey to our sweet daughters in China, we had no idea how far it would take us…spiritually. I knew we would travel across the world to bring the girls home, but I had no idea how following God’s call in […] Read more…

Hearts Overflowing
On Saturday, we packed up some of the kids and went on a mission…to Build A Bear.
