Our Family

Our Family
ANCIENT CHINESE BELIEF: When a child is born invisible red threads extend from the child's spirit and connect to all the significant people who will be part of the child's life. As the child grows, the threads shorten, drawing closer those people who are destined to be together.






JOHANNA'S FAVORITE VIDEO!

GOTCHA DAY!!!


We finally made it! Johanna is finally with us and doing great! We decided that she is going to be the one of our kids that wants to play softball. She was scared to death of the doll that I bought her, but loves throwing the balls to us. I'm keeping it short because I am exhausted. She is sleeping right now so I am going to rest. But I wanted to post a pic. Will post more this week.
