The Journey Along the Invisible Red Thread: April 2015
http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. My crazy, silly, innocent, little girl! She keeps you on your toes. She's as sweet as can be and means well, but she is 3 and listening isn't her strong suite. This girl loves to climb and run and be outside all the time, even if it's freezing! So I try to oblige her when I can to play outside, but with the rain and the weather going up and down, it's not always possible. Posted by LadyBug Dragon. Links to this post. Thursday, April 23, 2015. I've trie...

The Journey Along the Invisible Red Thread: Take Me Out to the Ballgame
http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/2015/05/take-me-out-to-ballgame.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Earlier this morning she looked super adorable. She hadn't worn her fox ears in forever! She wore her headband through most of the day, until it got "too cold". The weather dropped and off went her fox ears and on the coat and we went on a walk. After the walk, Ashton picked up her garden utensil and started swinging it. Must have picked up this song from daycare. my little slugger! Posted by LadyBug Dragon. Truth In the Tinsel.

http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. Monday, March 30, 2015. She was super cute walking her palms, though I couldn't get a good shot in. She really enjoyed it she said. We'll be taking these palms and making crosses out of them to keep and share with family. Posted by LadyBug Dragon. Links to this post. Friday, March 27, 2015. Because of you I'll NEVER see these things the same again. These now have special meaning in my heart, as I'm sure to those that know you well too. Right after. It's adorable! Your favorite...

The Journey Along the Invisible Red Thread: July 2015
http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. Friday, July 31, 2015. Ashton loves her house. It has an outdoor eating area with lights. It has a dutch door, which Ashton loves. Windows everywhere for natural light. She's already moved in furniture. her Darth Vadar chair fits snugly inside. In the back of the house is the kitchen with a sink and stove and basket for fruit. But Ashton's favorite parts are the bell and mailbox. So more house adventures to come! Posted by LadyBug Dragon. Links to this post. But I'm off point.

"MY TWO GIGGLE DREAMZ": September 2010
http://dowfamilyoffour.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
September 16, 2010. ADOPTION UPDATE and WEDDING PIC'S! God truly teaches us PATIENCE and I was not being very obedient in trusting in his time frame for my daughter to come home! There is soooo much paperwork and red tape to adopting and it all has to be completed before China will allow us to travel. WELL, there was a certain document that we have been waiting on and of course it was not delivered on time and it was delaying us another week! September 3, 2010. WERE ARE IN AWWWW ONCE AGAIN. WOW, we are s...

The Journey Along the Invisible Red Thread: The Ride Back Home
http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-ride-back-home.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. Saturday, August 8, 2015. The Ride Back Home. Though the ICC Reunion went through Sunday, we could only stay through part of today. So we will miss the picnic and other fun things planned with the group. However, we had fun with them for the time we had. Glad for the new friends we made. And we were able to get in a morning swim in the pool with some of our friends. We got home and all our fur babies were still in one piece. They missed us terribly. Posted by LadyBug Dragon.
