Location: Yu Garden and French Concession (I think). Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Gracie is doing really well! I also have to say that Michael has been so wond...

Our adoption process starting from the very beginning. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. One year and getting so close! I am amazed when I think back to one year ago today when God so clearly put our feet on a new path leading to China! You can read about that here : http:/ isaiah43-5.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-want-us-to-do-what.html. Here are a few recent pictures I have received:-). Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Shower for Ella Grace.

My cup overflows: August 2012
http://thishappymomma.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 30, 2012. Last post from China! At 7:25 this morning it was silent and everyone was sound asleep. I heard a sweet little voice awaken me saying. "Momma? I sat up and said, "Gracie! Then I swooped that sweet baby up out of her crib and gave her lots and lots of kisses and she giggled! What a way to wake up! We miss you people! Please pray with us that our flights will not be delayed because of the hurricane. In Chicago, if they have a drop of rain, they delay flights! We will be leaving o...

My cup overflows: June 2012

Friday, June 29, 2012. And I'm tasting the sweetness of the here and now. When I played Chess with John Deric yesterday morning I thought to myself as he methodically planned his next move on the board, "These are the days that you will never forget and will always treasure. What a gift. The gift of today. Posted by Heather Thomas. Wednesday, June 27, 2012. We were approved for our I800 immigration app on Friday! So we've moved to the next step. Praise the Lord!

Beauty for Ashes: January 2014
http://adoptedeternally.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 12, 2014. The last couple days. The last update we got said she weighed just under 16 pounds. That must have been with her sumo suit on because she came to 13.9 pounds on Saturday. I have a feeling she didn’t weigh quite as much as they said, and she probably lost some while she was sick. She’s making up for lost time now though! Ayla is doing a little better. Yesterday she said she liked Eva, which was an improvement from what she said the day before. She still has more meltdowns...Tuesd...

Blessed Baileys: March 2012
http://isaiah43-5.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Our adoption process starting from the very beginning. Thursday, March 1, 2012. We are thrilled to say that we have PA and can officially share pictures of our beautiful little girl, Ella Grace Bailey "Gracie"! Needless to say, I was ecstatic when I got a phone call from our social worker telling me that we could share her picture. I was expecting it to take a couple of weeks, not a couple of days. Maybe this means all the other steps will go quickly;-). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Are you a Lion?

My cup overflows: September 2012
http://thishappymomma.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Encouragement for the week ahead. Here is an encouraging excerpt from Ann Voskamp's blog post this week:. No one knows but you do war every single day with the slanderous voices in your head. And you wrestle a bit with the death dark that encroaches around the edges of everything and you’re never the only one: anyone who gets up has to push back the dark. I’m standing there in front of the mirror. That’s what this week needs, that’s all this week needs most:. I have grown t...

My cup overflows: November 2012
http://thishappymomma.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. All I really want for Christmas. Well I know it's been a while since this momma has been sighted in blog-world. Becoming a mother to now 4 children has kept me busy with laundry, needs and more of my own need to be disciplined to get enough sleep every night and less time for "me" time, such as.blogging! But I think I am getting the swing of things and have awaken from my long, bloggy sleep re-energized! Silence my blog song by scrolling down to the bottom to pause it. Feb 7, 2...

All About Andrew & Will: Vestavia Rangers 8-0-1.
http://allaboutandrew12808.blogspot.com/2015/05/vestavia-rangers-8-0-1.html
All About Andrew and Will. Spring Baseball has come and gone- We had an Ah-MAZING season! Andrew played short stop most of the time and right field on occasion too. We had some really fun close games, but our boys found a way to win all of them… except for one. They found a way NOT to lose that one. We loved coach Ryan and Andrew made some new friends. The Rangers on picture day. He told Bo he picked #25 because it was Jesus' Birthday. Sweet Amy and Steve Castleman. Sawyer and Miss Chambliss.
