A Special Reunion!!!

Today Jennifer and I got together with some special friends... Christina and Kevin are the reason Pearl River exists today.. Their hard work, and dedication to making sure children, some they will never meet, can have a future, inspires me! I love my job working with them as we work to provide families for our Bamboo Babies!!!


This afternoon, I had the privilege of re-uniting Gracie Joy with Christina.. The last time she saw Gracie, she was in Changsha in April, 2010. It is an amazing blessing to see our Bamboo Babies home, happy, and safe with their forever families!!

KY Trip!



We just spent four days in KY with Jeff's family to celebrate our nephew Evan's HS Graduation. We had a wonderful time introducing Sienna to her family and catching up with everyone. We have another nephew to be very proud of... Evan is off to Eastern KY University with a bright future ahead for him! When I met Evan just 11 years ago, he was climbing on kitchen counters and helping me make french toast for everyone... How did he grow up so fast? I was reminded during this visit, that before we know it Ainsley will be wearing a cap and gown.... (She will be nine on Saturday!) Another reminder of how precious time and life is!

Jeff and I were so proud of the girls... We are blessed with three great travelers! Once again Sienna amazed us with her ability to go with the flow... Not to mention what a big help she was! As you can see above, our girl can handle her own luggage.. She even washes floors at graduation parties! :)
But, the funniest comment from her came when we arrived back at home... Said with a smile by Sienna, "I am not sleeping on the floor tonight!" How quickly we get attached to our own beds!

We look forward to seeing everyone again soon....
