Devastation in China

The whole world has watched as China attempts to recover from the earthquake just a few short days ago. I thought it would be appropriate to set a link here for both information and an opportunity to donate if your heart is compelled to do so.Our adoption agency is currently collecting for the relief effort and it is of course a tax deductable donation.PLEASE say a prayer for these families who have lost children and other loved ones as well as for the many babies who are now without families. My heart aches for these people. The devastation is incomprehensible to me.

14.5 more days to go...

Well I have 14.5 days to go until summer vacation from school. I am very much looking forward to time with my sweet girl. I need the summer break every year and this is no exception. Here are some pictures of Mother's Day Weekend. Specifically the Mother Daughter Banquet at Church. My husband got the honor of serving us and Caitlin and I sported funny fashions for the show. Check out my "Shelf Bra" and Caitlin's "Flour Sack Dress." Such good clean fun! On a serious note, we took a break from the medical side of our China Adoption process for a little bit. Since March basically. We re filed our checklist yesterday and eagerly anticipate "the call". We have no idea when it may happen as there are all kinds of extraneous circumstances, not the least of which is the major earthquake and the Olympics. Besides whomever is waiting in line in front of us who may be willing to accept a child with similar needs as those we checked.
