So today instead of haunting some of the rumor sites to see when our log in date will come in with my arms still longing for a child, my heart is full and I have celebrated 1098 days as a Mama! With a minimum of three hugs a day, that's 6588 hugs in in the past years and at least 6588 kisses! Of course on most days I average way more than 3 hugs and kisses. Then to make things even more intoxicating, we added a beautiful daughter 9 months ago today so that is another 274 days with my sweet girl and another 822 hugs and 822 kisses if all I got were three a day, and I must confess I've gotten way more than my three a day quota as I've sat here typing this blog post, and to be honest I've always gotten more than three a day! :o)
Love's Journey
Love's Journey is about our journey to create a family through the miracle of adoption. “His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave Him great pleasure” (Ephesians 1:5).

Three Years with Isaac

Celebrating Three Months
Laughter is the best medicine! I love the sound of the laughter that fills my home!
I know!! I need to blog more often so it's not such a lengthy post with zillions of photos. I am trying to get better, but time flies!
God, You are so good! I look back over the photos of the past three months and I think of all You have accomplished. You are amazing! We went to have an echo-cardiogram on Rachel's heart the first day of spring break. The doctor said that her heart looks amazing! She originally said she didn't want to see us for three years. "Three years?!" I was shocked, in a surprised, this is great sort of way, but I guess I sounded worried, because she quickly ammended, "Ok, two years." Some children with repaired VSD still have a leakage and require antibiotics prior to dental treatment and other things, but her cardiologists said that things are great. She said absolutely no restrictions. Yeah God!!!
Isaac is doing great in speech at school. He has progressed so much. I know that He has a way to go, but wow!! God opened the door where he can receive speech every day through the school system. And the school is wonderful and his teacher is fantastic!! We are blessed because he will be with her next year as well.
I'm sure I could go on, but I'll try to do another blog and I need something to write about. If I put it all down in writing now, it will be a long time before I come back. So good night.

Some Prayer Requests
Last night I had a dream that there was a problem, perhaps God's way of preparing me. At least I wasn't totally thrown when I got the call to come down to meet with our agency with my papers, God had prepared me in a little way. Still I am in need of prayer. I just want to go home. I miss Craig and I miss my daily routine.

The Midway Point (Fri 1/21)
Somewhere within this you should see Isaac putting his new doctor kit to use on Aryn Rachel. She was not a very cooperative patient for Isaac. I hope she does better with the real doctors, but then again I think they may be more gentle with her.

Xichan Temple (Thursday, January 20th)
Click to Play | Today we visited Xichan Temple in the suburbs of Fuzhou, a 20 minute ride from the hotel. It was amazing to find such a quiet, peaceful place in the middle of the city. Isaac didn't like the idols and I thought we might have a major incident on our hands. He is very sensitive. The archetecture was amazing and it was very interesting. Since it troubled Isaac, in some ways I am sorry we went. In others I can see the draw so many people feel, and it gives me an understanding of how to pray. There are so many Buddhas, one must accept the one true, living God. It must be a difficult transition | ||||||
