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....

Winter fun!

Kyle, Jonathan and Amisha all fell fast asleep after a family sledding outing. There is a great hill by our house and we spent a good part of Saturday afternoon sledding. It was 35 degrees and sunny. Jonathan and Amisha both scream the entire time down. It was great exercise for all.
Amisha is being a sweet dear and helping me pick out some music for a Christmas present.
Bath pictures are always so cute aren't they? Of course we need a pink kitty towel to dry off.
Kyle is always making us laugh. He has two of his biggest fans on his lap. Family time is such a blessing. I hope everyone has time to be together during this busy time.

How can you love someone more than you ever think possible?

































I lovingly call her my "ma zombie" because she walks around the house saying "ma, ma, ma, ma, ma..." in a monotone voice, but last night when I was holding her she pointed at herself and said nothing and pointed at me and said "MA!". Oh, that is one moment I will never forget.
Pics are of Jonathan and her being there own snowman since we have no snow and her out shopping for our Christmas tree.
