Bicycle Built For Two

CaraBeth is ready to go on a bike ride now! Well, first we have to find her a helmet small enough for her head and then we can go on a ride. This new seat is a fun way for her to get to take in the views and not feel like all is can see is the back of Daddy's t-shirt.

ADOPTION

I copied this from a friend's blog www.k6comehome.blogspot.com

YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN ADOPTIVE PARENT IF ...
1. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to kiss them goodnight has made you lose sleep.
2. You realize DNA has nothing to do with love & family.
3. You can't watch Adoption Stories on TLC without sobbing.
4. The fact that, if 7% of Christians adopted 1 child there would be no orphans in the world, is convicting to you.
5. You spend free time surfing blogs about families who've experienced the blessing of adoption.
6. It drives you crazy when people ask you about adopted child's "real" parents.
7. You've been "pregnant" with your adopted child longer than it takes an elephant to give birth.(2 years!)
8. You had no idea how you'd afford to adopt, but stepped out in faith anyway, knowing He'd provide. (& He does!)
9. You've taken an airplane half-way around the world with a child you just met.
10. You believe God's heart's for adoption.
11. You realize that welcoming a child into your heart & family is one of the most important legacies you could ever leave on this earth.
12. You know what the word "Dossier" means & you can actually pronounce it correctly!
13. You've welcomed a social worker into the most private parts of your life.
14. You shudder when people say your child's so lucky that you adopted them, knowing full well you're the blessed one to have him or her in your life.

I Love Isabelle!

This is a picture of my dog Isabelle. (Except she doesn't usually were a Hogs bandanna and a cute little red bow in her hair.) We've had Isabelle since she was just a little puppy. She is almost 5 years old. I really like to rub her belly and brush her fur. Isabelle likes it too! When you scratch right under her leg she moves that leg really fast because she is ticklish! I also like to take her on really long walks.
