For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope.....

...for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. Romans 8:24-25
While most people start a blog at the beginning of their adoption journey I find myself putting together one at the end. Why? It can be answered by the first question they ask you when you start to put together the blog..."Title for your blog?" That was enough to stop me. Something so personal...what should my blog say? I knew it should express HOPE. Knowing there is hope in every situation, at every place in your life and that hope can never run out. We're adding to our family again: a little girl named Amisha. She will have spent her first three years in an orphanage this coming October 10th. I wonder if she held on to hope... she has a condition called schizencephaly. Her time here on earth will be determined by complications as time passes. For now we will bring her home, love her and hope....

First visit to the farm.




It was already so cold when Amisha came home in November that we did not ever make it out to enjoy Grandma and Grandpas farm. On Thursday the boys had DDS appointments so I let everyone miss school to go out to the farm because the weather was supposed to be our first day of 80 degrees in MN. When we arrived the wind gusts were up to 40 mph. You can tell from her hair it was a wild day to be outside. We were only there a short while and mom had enough. She will have to wait out the ugly MN spring and we can try again to pet the kitties and chase chickens.

We had a gorgeous day yesterday in WI -- but today it's back to rainy and cold. Amisha looks pretty happy to be outside, anyway -- I'm usually the one who's freezing before our kids are!

Thursday and Friday were nice warm days!! The kids love being outside.
It was windy, though!!
This morning it's cold, rainy and thundering!!
Good day to stay inside and go through summer clothes.
Amisha looks so tall!
We have to get together.
