UPDATED with some extra photos from Reunion Weekend:)
I. Am. So. Behind.
Simply stated, I am behind in reading blogs and certainly behind in posting, so this one will be comprehensive:) I am not sure when we got so busy, but these past two weeks have been crazy! Even amidst the chaos, there is much to take stock in...
I am thankful for Emily's interest in cheerleading. It makes my heart sing to know that everything that happens at her school is covered in prayer and to the glory of God. It is a fun activity an it affords her time with good friends and the ability to make some new friends. I had promised pictures from her most recent game, so here are a few. There are more games to come and the weather looks to be much more springlike moving forward - yippee!
Emily and Cahsia - longtime friends
Emily and Gabrielle - sweet, sweet friends
Prayer Circle
Our crazy girl!
I am thankful for the great news we received Friday, that Hannah's readoption hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday! We are so excited.
We are all so thankful for the wonderful weekend our travel group just shared. Kudos to Terry and Dale, who planned and organized a time for us to get together. Great job and many, many thanks. I snapped some pictures over the weekend myself, but blogger is being persnicketty, so I will post them at a later time:)
Kim kindly permitted use of the video she made for us to share, so I am posting it here. (Thank you Kim, it is wonderful) Our little girls have a history, a heritage to share. They are sisters, in a manner of speaking, and I feel so blessed to share that bond with such amazing families. I never would have guessed the world that would open up to us through adoption.
Jiangxi Sisters unite!!
The cutie-pie kids!
Beautiful Lyla!
Kate & Em definitely have a love-love relationship:)
Whew! I guess I have to clean up after these party animals:)(Hannah, you are your mommy's daughter!)
Night Night Hannah Leigh!
My list of thanksgivings could go on and on this week. In the interest of time and humility, I will stop here.
What are you thankful for?
