China dolls

Most of you know that we were in the process of adopting a little girl from China when we found out I was pregnant with Delaney. We keep in close touch with the families that we were supposed to fly to China with, and they still invite us to their gatherings. One of the families lives right here in our town, and they hosted a party this past Saturday night. Although I was sick the entire weekend, Bryan and the girls were able to go and have some fun. Below is a picture of the six girls that have found forever families with our special friends. The girl in black is 3 and the others all turned one year old late last summer.

It amazes me still to think about this chapter of our lives that has turned out so differently than what we had planned. I am humbled and honored to serve a God who knew me, my husband, and our children long before any of us were born. I always knew that we would one day be parents to children created just for us, but what an adventure it has been!

Friday fun



We spent this rainy morning with good friends. Hannah played with Antonio and Gabriella while Delaney napped and the mommies chatted. The kids had fun, but unfortunately for Hannah, Antonio did NOT want to dress up like Cinderella. Hmmm.

Afterwards, the girls played ball. But, as seen below, Delaney quickly lost interest...

This weekend we drove up to my sister's house in New Hampshire for Sarah's baptism. Here are some photos of my neice all dressed up! She's a cutie, isn't she?

What to do on a cold, cold day...

1. Invite a friend over... make sure she brings her baby.
2. Dress appropriately.
3. Hide from your baby sister. Be sure to let her find you.
4. Have fun!
