One Year Ago Today

Wow!  It's hard to believe that one year ago today we arrived in Hong Kong, the first leg in our journey to our precious Faith.  The time has truly flown by and we have been so blessed.  So very, very blessed!

It just so happens that today we will be meeting for the weekend with four other families that we traveled to China with.  We are so excited!  Faith calls them her "China Friends".  We will have much to post about and lots of pics when we get back home!  It is amazing to me how deep the bonds are that we have made with our fellow adoptive families.  We are planning a big reunion next summer and we are hoping that many more will be able to come!

Blessings,

Peggy

Amazing Pictures of Amazing Faith!

My friend Jaime recently told me about her friend Shea.  Shea is an amazing photographer and VERY reasonable for the incredible quality of work that she does.  She charges for the shoot and then she edits and puts them on a disc and you can then choose your favorites and get them developed by whoever you wish.  My problem is that I love them all!!!

So, without further ado...here are the pics!

To God be the glory, right Shea?

Love to you all!

My Barbie Bike!

Wow!  Friends of Aunt Juju's (thanks Cheryl and Alan!) gave Faith this Barbie Bike and a Sit N Spin.  Baba worked hard spiffing the bike up and getting it a new tire and here is the little empress on her first adventure on her bike!  She looks mighty grown up on this...sniff....sniff

Emma Grace's Birthday Party

This past Saturday we enjoyed celebrating Emma Grace's 3rd birthday with her at Little Gym.  Faith did really well, considering the noise and the number of people.  I had to take her out of the room for a breather a couple of times but overall she did great!  Here are some pics of the event!

Play Date with Kaylene

Faith & Kaylene had lots of fun playing with sidewalk chalk and bubbles on a beautiful warm recent day!  They both ended up covered in "bubble juice" and we probably could have just hosed them down and they would have had their bath for the day!  LOL  Kaylene is my friend Kristi's daughter and she and Faith have birthdays only 3 days apart!  That is really neat!  I am looking forward to watching our girls grow up together!

Enjoy!

Hallelujah! He Is Alive!! Happy Easter!

We celebrated Easter this year with great joy and expectation of the day when our fourth child will come to know Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior!  We feel honored and privileged that God chose us as Faith's forever parents and we have already begun to teach her about Jesus and His incredible love for all of God's children.

We had a quiet day together and we were certainly counting all of our blessings....there are so many!

Hallelujah!  He Is Alive!

Easter Egg Hunt #2

We were blessed to enjoy a second Easter egg hunt with Aunt JuJu, David & family on the Saturday before Easter.  Let me just say that I think this was by far the nicest Easter Egg Hunt I have ever been on!  A family from Julie's church has a huge horse farm and every year the have a hunt that is incredible.  The people from the church donate and put out thousands of candy filled eggs.  They have different fields that are designated for different age groups.  They loaded our group (2's & 3's) onto the trailer with bales of hay to sit on and off we went to our field.  Faith was a bit overwhelmed because there were LOTS of kids around but once she got the hang of things she had a great time!  They also served up hamburgers, hot dogs and lots of goodies.  Faith got to pet her first horse and she got to see a foal that was less than a week old.  We had a blast!  Thanks Aunt JuJu!  I think this will become a yearly event where we can watch our babies grow up!
