Traveling, sometimes great distances, to be home. For fellowship and food. We were in China in 2004 for the Mid Autumn festival. It was truly wonderful to see the preparations and so many people. Moving across the cities and the country to be home. For many who leave home and work far distances away from family,.

A week from tonight we have another opportunity to pause as a family and reflect on our journey together. To recount God's faithfulness to each of us. . . and on this occasion, especially Meredith. Today I received the sweet necklace I ordered for this special occasion. I am thrilled with how it turned out. Our prayer for Meredith on this special night and as she anticipates walking through the next chapter of her life's journey comes from Colossians 1:10 which reads. Big decisions lie ahead. I hope to p...

We had a festive Christmas dinner. We enjoyed a wonderful meal of. Roasted fennel and asparagus. Smashed new potatoes with thyme. And red velvet cake with cheesecake frosting. Ian led us in a sweet devotional and to the table we went. We voted and stayed casual for dinner this year.that was a first! English Christmas crackers made our meal extraordinarily fun. Hats, riddles, jokes, trivia, trinkets and games. Made for great conversation. Lots of laughs and. Why are we wearing these hats? What a great day!

David and I did one of my favorite preschool Christmas crafts today. . .a handprint Christmas tree. He thought it was so fun to paint his hand green so many times.

In the days after "Gotcha Day" she would lay on the hotel bed and watch hand movies. We would lay on the bed beside her and watch her intently. This baby girl didn't jut like her thumb.she LOVED it. In kindergarten, ...
