10 years of watching a miracle

How has it been 10 years since that 14 pound miracle was placed in my arms. Years of longing, waiting and dreaming and then POOF she was there! She is beautiful. She is kind. She is fearfully and wonderfully made. She is everything we dreamed of and more. 10 years of learning, loving and watching God used her to shape us and so many others. He has such big plans for the precious girl who I could not more than anything. I think about how adoption changed our lives, all for the better. Life is sweeter. Its almost like I got new glasses, things are just prettier all around now. She helps me find fun in the simple thing. We find challenges, well challenging and we have fun with those as well. I am so thankful for bringing adoption in our lives which in turn brought some of the most precious people over the years. I can not imagine had we said no.  #wecouldhavemissedthis

6 years ago, this picture was taken a few days before we became parents to sweet LynnMarie. We were blessed with an amazing travel group. It was certainly the journey of a lifetime!!!

Look at those sweet feet. The feet that made her our girl. We are so thankful to all who loved those sweet feet and took care of her while we waited to become a family!

Fall fun and updates

Oh how I miss blogging. So much to share and not enough time to write. Our sweet LynnMarie ChunAi is 5 and half and has quite an imagination. She is so fun and silly. We have tried to enjoy the fall as much as possible by going to Gatlinburg for our anniversary, fall festivals, driving to Helen and spending some time outside. LynnMarie takes ballet and tap once a week and also enjoys going to church. We have been enjoying arts and crafts at home and we are we working on reading. She is trying so hard. I have attached some pictures of our little miracle. Can you believe its almost been 5 years since we accepted her referral? I can not wait to celebrate. Enjoy our pictures. Please keep our friends Team Radicci in your prayers as after 3 years of waiting, they are in China picking up their newest 2 babies! Its been a blessing to watch them walk in faithfulness
