Diwali In India

I found this website that tells about the Indian holiday that is happening in India... Diwali, Festival of Lights. I hope that somehow Jadyn might be able to see some of the pretty lights through the windows of the orphanage. If not sweet baby, we will see lots of them when you get home. I promise.

The Divine Weaver

My life is but a weaving between my God and me, I do not choose the colors he worketh steadily, oftimes He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride, forget he sees the upper, and I the underside. Not till the loom is silent, and shuttles cease to fly, will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needful in the skillful Weaver's hand, as the threads of gold and silver in the pattern he has planned.

Thank you Lord that we can rest and trust in the knowledge that you are in control of our lives. We trust you God and pray that you will bring our daughter home soon.

Jadyn's God Parents


We had a great time visiting with my cousin Teresa and her husband Steve,Jadyn's God Parents, last weekend. They were here for the family reunion and stayed a night with us. They were finally able to see Jadyn's room for the first time. Teresa and I shared some tears that night as we looked at all of the shower gifts we have received from family and friends . She and Steve are waiting right along with us. We love them so very much and just can't wait for Jadyn to meet them, and they can't wait to meet her!

Teresa made the beautiful baby blanket, in her lap, for Jadyn. It's just perfect in the room. It's obvious so much love went in it because there are so many intricate little details. Thank you Teresa! What a special family heirloom!

Summer Shower




Just had to share these pics from the last shower we had back in August. My wonderful friends, Heather and Janice, had this one for us. I was able to visit and catch up with lots of friends from our old church that I hadn't seen in quite a while. We received so many cute clothes and other items. Jadyn is going to have so many outfits! Her framed referral picture is of course something I'll keep forever. There were about three framed pictures of her sitting on the tables, so thoughtful and sweet.

Sorry I'm so late in posting this. I 've been trying for a while, but I've been having trouble uploading images to my blog.
