TRIP TO ITSACA


We traveled north near Chicago this weekend to see all the girls from China. At first we thought one family would be absent. We were so happy everyone could make it!! It was nice for Bob to meet all the families. More pictures when I can get to a faster connection! Thank you Sgarbosa Family. As you can see, reunion play is very hard work. Bing slept more than half the way home.

VERY DEAR FRIEND OF MY DEAR FRIEND




Today I post in honor of one of my trusted and loved friend's dear friend. For the past few months, I have been ever mindful of trying to post pictures of the baby frequently. It seems these photos brought such joy to someone who had limited time on this earth.

While she wanted no attention, no service, this is my tribute to her. Though my heart aches for my friend's significant loss, I know this wonderful person is in God's hands. She hurts no more. She has gone home, perhaps sooner than we ever thought, but she is home.

Not long ago, I posted a message titled "JULY" telling everyone how much I valued my friends and family. I wrote this post with her in mind.
