A special little girl met her family today!!! My dear friend Bridget, and Ruby's best friend Lucy now have the precious daughter and sister that they have waited so long for!!!! So fitting that yesterday was "Orphan Sunday" and that November is "National Adoption Month." Kit is orphaned no more! And for that, we are so thankful to God for orchestrating her amazing story!!

You see back in July, a special Mom that I had never met personally, emailed me the picture of a beautiful little girl. She new I had a friend that was waiting for a child from China. On that same day, my contact at Great Wall, the agency we used for Sienna, emailed me the same photo saying she had a little girl that reminded us of our family. Her referral photo resembled Sienna. I passed this child's photo on to Bridget. A few weeks passed, and that same special Mom emailed me again with new information on this precious little girl. I again emailed it to Bridget. Shortly after that she emailed me and said she "needed that file!" Since it was a Friday, her agency was closed. So, I reached out to my friend at Great Wall and asked her if she would send it. She did... Next, another adoption friend who is very special to me reviewed Kit's file for Bridget... She gave her valuable advice and insight that only a loving mother and respected doctor can... In early August, Bridget and Rich locked Kit's file!!! And, yesterday she filled a hole in their family in a way that only a child hand picked by God can...

It has been a blessing to be a part of Kit's story. And, a privilege to share this journey and wait with my sweet friend. Today I celebrate and give thanks to God for this amazing little girl! I am constantly blown away at how God weaves us all together for his glory!!! I know He has very special plans for precious Kit and her sister Lucy! And, I can't think of a more amazing Mom to guide them along the way! Congratulations Bridget, Rich and Lucy!

Please take time to stop by and visit Bridget's blog! I promise you will leave smiling!

We took the girls up to the cabin for the day on Saturday! It was a bright and gorgeous November day up there. We picked up our snow mobile to have it ready for the season.. The girls have been talking up snow to Sienna... She has seen pictures, but of course there is nothing like experiencing it.. Soon enough they will be making a snowman together and drinking hot chocolate! Sienna and I were having fun with a little winter hat photo shoot!

A Happy Belated Birthday to Nadi who turned 5 yesterday!!! We can't wait to see you again on Friday!! And, at 12:30am tonight, our dear friends Bridget, Rich and Lucy will be meeting Kit for the first time!!!! (2:30-3:00 China time!) Please pray for them. Kit is 4 like Sienna was when we met her.. It is such a big day for these precious children. I feel like an anxious Aunt waiting for her anticipated arrival!!!! Bridget will be posting at their blog as soon as she can! The Red Thread Story of Kit is another miracle of how God brings us all together for His glory!! She was born to be in this family, and I can't wait to see her blossom in it! I just wish I was there to see her in person! I will be on a plane to Chicago as soon as she is ready for visitors!!!

The girls had a great time sharing Sienna's first Halloween with her! The big sister chose to stay with her sisters, which was so sweet! Jeff (a.k.a "Cowboy Daddy) said it didn't take long for Sienna to run from house to house with the kids! When they rang our doorbell all three were excited! It is such a joy to experience these holidays through the eyes of our children!

Here is our Halloween in pictures!!!
