This blog started during the process of adopting our daughter, Camellia, from China. The title comes from many, many months of selling Pandora-style bracelets to help fund her adoption. Camellia came home just before Thanksgiving, on November 18th of 2012. We are now using this site to keep our supporters updated on Camellia's progress, as well as sharing updates on our older three children, Jack, Ian, and Chloe. God has richly blessed our family, and we invite you to look through this window into our lives.

A Message from Home

Today I have a migraine that just won't quit.  After the kids finished their schoolwork, I took more medicine and went upstairs to lie down for an hour before having to cook dinner.  When I came downstairs, Chloe had drawn me some lovely art work.  Jack grabbed me by the hand and led me into the office to show me what he had made.  My lovely son wrote a poem for Camellia:


Camellia Grace

Camellia Grace, my Chinese sister,

Be good for Daddy because he is not just a babysitter;

He will help bring you home to a loving family,

Where you will always have plenty of noodles and juice boxes and be very happy,

So we sit and wait for the time to come

To welcome you to a new home.

Next Sunday we will meet you and Daddy at the airport when you arrive.

We'll bring you home and shower you with love so you can thrive.

    You girls are sweet.
    Sometimes Jack totally catches me off guard. I guess he's just like his daddy. :)
