Pearl/Jade Market & Chen Temple~

Today was a shopping and touring day with these two precious girls~

After breakfast before we left hotel, we took a Lifeline photo~

Then we were off for a shopping spree~

with the two cutest girls in ALL of China~

and a walk around the temple yard~

One little could take the heat and one could not... around 90 but feels like 104 with the humidity~

Then back to the hotel for lunch, nap~

and playing~

Tomorrow... Shamian Island!!!! and one day closer to HOME!!!!!

Lifeline Fall Festival~

Adoption families gathered for the Lifeline First Annual Fall Festival Reunion.

We enjoyed a great lunch and games for the kids~

 I think the best thing about it was being able to talk and share 

with other families doing exactly what we do every single day.

It was also so cool to see many of the children we have prayed for...

now in their forever families~

We ALL had a great time and look forward to next year when we have sweet Abby home!!!

Thankful for Lifeline helping us bring home three of our precious blessings!!!

Saturday Fun~

We traveled to Lifeline's Ga Fall Festival~

A fun time! More tomorrow... Worn slap out!

Parade of Families~

A couple of weeks before the Lifeline banquet we traveled to Columbus to be interviewed about adoption with two other families. The video was shown @ the banquet and I am sharing with you in hopes your heart is touched for many waiting~ 

To be a part of a family that loves them beyond measure.

Blessings to you all as you watch and be moved. 

Road Trip~

Today we woke to beautiful snow falling to a light dusting~

 and then drove to Columbus to film a video for our agency~ Lifeline~

It was a sweet time to reflect on why adoption is such a huge part of our hearts and family.

On the way home we took the kids to Bass Pro~

 They had a ball seeing all the animals and we didn't spend a dime!
