The crib and some Chinese characters. The ones on the left stand for Family and the one on the right is for Love.
The window valance ended up inspiring some of the colors in the room.

Only One Thing Missing .......
Jacinda's room is DONE! She is the only thing missing at this point.
The crib and some Chinese characters. The ones on the left stand for Family and the one on the right is for Love.

Our New Look!
Our blog has a fabulous new look!!! My friend, Tracey, designed the header especially for us. She’s a very talented graphic artist and she puts up with all my crazy emails!
Anyway, the lotus flower is a perfect symbol for this blog. The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud. It slowly grows up towards the light at the surface of the water. Once it reaches the surface of the water, the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower.
Aaron and I always knew we wanted to have children. Fortunately, God had a different plan than we did. We went through infertility treatments to get Luke. We did a few more treatments when Luke was around 1. Those were unsuccessful. We then turned to adoption, which we had been open to from the very beginning. And now we’re very close to getting our little girl.
So even though we’ve been through a lot …. Infertility drugs, doctor’s appointments, adoption paperwork, refinancing our house, and lots of waiting, it has all turned into the family we’ve dreamed of. We are reserving judgment for now as to whether our family is complete. We want to get home and see what Jacinda’s surgeries and such will involve before we make that decision.
Thank you, Tracey, for giving us a visual symbol of the lotus flower to represent our journey to our family!
