Our journey to bringing home an orphan…. December 5, 2014. View all 2 comments. Alright. Bare with me as I attempt to explain this to you all. When our dossier (huge packet of super important paperwork) went to China, it had to be “logged in” which meant that the Chinese government acknowledged possession of our dossier. Then it had to be translated because well… that’s kind of obvious. We wait NO MORE! Because on day 56 (today! We got our “soft” LOA! It is simply amazing to be a part of it! It took long...

Toilet or Headphones?? | Bring Gracie Home!
https://bringgraciehome.wordpress.com/2015/03/12/toilet-or-headphones
Our journey to bringing home an orphan…. March 12, 2015. Two and a half hours of sleep the night before we left because the anticipation was just too much to bear. Kids woke up with no trouble which was nice! Our friends came to bring us to the airport which made for a fun morning! We appreciated the sacrifice they made by being at our house at 545a! Just being able to give Amy a hug brought me such relief. Can’t really explain why….it just did. So what do we do? 🙂 Yay for technology, it saved the day!

Welcome to Photographers.com.au. About Photographers.com.au. Photographing the Landscape When It Really Isn’t Your Thing. January 29, 2014 by Leanne Cole. Another thing I tell my students is to look for a point of interest, or a point of focus. Something that will attract the viewer to look at your images. If there is nothing in the image to focus on then their eyes will move around, not settle and quickly move out. Following up on When Does it Belong to Me.

Our journey to bringing home an orphan…. Every Tiny Detail…. February 25, 2015. When we felt that we were being called to adoption, I will admit that we hesitated for a bit because we thought “how in the world will we ever afford this? 8221;, “are we really ready to add a third child? 8221;, “things are so predictable right now, do we really want to mess with that? Most recently, we have made some seriously awesome connections! As I type this, I am chatting with a new friend who lives in China! Adoptive ...

Beijing and beyond | Bring Gracie Home!
https://bringgraciehome.wordpress.com/2015/03/15/beijing-and-beyond
Our journey to bringing home an orphan…. March 15, 2015. Jet lag has been brutal and we have been busy so I have not had the energy to write even a quick update. Beijing was a fabulous experience and one we will surely never forget. The history within that city is like nothing we have experienced. The Great Wall of China is magnificent and breathtaking, despite the smog surrounding it. Some funny happenings while in Beijing:. The locals are always cold and dressed in multiple layers. It was “ni...We trav...

Our journey to bringing home an orphan…. March 18, 2015. March 16 will never be just another ordinary day in our lives. Just as the birth day of our older children, the day we met our newest daughter was life changing. The ride over was only 30 minutes thankfully. We got there before Grace arrived which was how we wanted it. Again, time literally did not move while we waited. Then…we heard the elevator open and a small voice. We knew it was her. Our kids were ready to take pictu...If any adoptive mother ...

49 hours | Bring Gracie Home!
https://bringgraciehome.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/49-hours
Our journey to bringing home an orphan…. March 9, 2015. We are so close. In 49 hours, we will be boarding our first flight to travel halfway around the world where we will finally lay our eyes on an absolutely beautiful and worthy child. Our excitement is beyond words! I haven’t slept through the night in weeks. Is it God’s way of preparing my body for not only the 12 hour time difference but also being the mother of a new child where we are bound to have a few sleepless nights? Every Tiny Detail…. You a...
