Thankful Thursday!

EmmewithFriendsOutside-Feb

As I head southwest for a few days to re-connect with "Mr. Handsome" as Lucy calls Jeff, I am thankful for a very special email I received today... It was from "Golden Boy's" Daddy!!!! God has truly answered my prayer! To have the opportunity to keep Emme and Oscar (adorable) in touch for as long as their heart's desire it!

This photo was attached to his note to us. It was from their visit at the orphanage! Oscar is in front of her! I can't wait to hear more about their visit!

Blessings from a very thankful Mama!

A few Words for this Wednesday!!

Emme Jade and "Golden Boy" were together for their last goodbye (for now) yesterday!
He was visiting with his new family when his bear was delivered!
What a blessing to know that his family also knows about their precious friendship!
We have good reason to believe we will hear from them soon!
We will do our best to keep these friends in touch across the miles!
So VERY thankful for the internet on this "Wordless" Wednesday!

It was Spring....

Well... last week we got the mid-winter tease... 50's and beautiful last week. Yesterday, Jeff and I were dual snow blowing the driveway digging us out of the 19" of snow that hit the Twin Cities! Oh well, that is Minnesota for you... And, it is not even March yet!

Today, I am home with The Pearl and Ruby1 sick... Ruby has a nasty case of pink-eye. She looks like she was in a prize fight, and she lost... She is not very excited about the eye drops... Let's just say it took three of us to get them in today! Ainsley is home with a stomach ache... So, I am heading up the infirmary while Jeff is back to work, and Sienna is at school. We are so thankful that Sienna has been so healthy all winter! It is truly a blessing!

In two days I am running away to warmer temperatures with Jeff.. Let's just say I can't wait!!!

Word from Jiangsu, is that Miss Emme did receive her care package before "Golden Boy" left. And, that he is now safely in the arms of his new Mama! I am hopeful that we will connect with them soon.

Our fingerprint appointment is confirmed, and we are praying for that much needed Homeland Security approval by the end of March!

Signing off to get a few things done while my patients are resting! (~B in case you are reading, I have 2 kids napping! :) )

A Sweet Delivery!

Sometime this week, a sweet little girl we can't wait to love is receiving 2 deliveries. The first one is going to be a cake to celebrate with her friends and nannies that she has a Forever Family waiting for her! We wanted to make this happen before her best buddy, "Golden Boy" is adopted. He meets his family from Denmark next week. We are so happy for him! But, I wish I could be there to hold my little girl when she says goodbye to her friend. It makes me tear up thinking about it.. Will she understand why he has to leave?

The second package includes two Panda Bears: One for Emme, and one for her very best friend. You will see the little tag I asked them to attach for these precious friends. Perhaps they will meet again one day!

We are using Ann at Red Thread for our care packages. She is so wonderful! We are hopeful that we will receive some photos from Yangzhou soon of Emme and her friends enjoying a big pice of cake from her Forever Family!

Sun Kissed!

Ruby-After - MultiLayersblog

We hope we are finally saying goodbye for a very long time to our bitter cold days. We are all more than ready for flip flops and the smell of sun tan lotion! Perhaps that will be a while, but it sounds like sunshine and 40's are coming our way. In Minnesota that is a heat wave!!

Yesterday, the girls were doing what they do.... Playing dress up! What does not always happen is they asked me to take their pictures... So, I opened the front door, let the sun shine in, and clicked away! Here are a couple of my favorites of the sun shining in on their beautiful faces.
