No Greater Joys: Hail Storms
http://nogreaterjoys.blogspot.com/2011/10/hail-storms.html
Monday, October 24, 2011. I mentioned in past posts about the hail storms we have experienced since moving to South Dakota, but I never posted the pictures I took during the last one. So here you go. This one was a pretty bad one. We thought for sure that we would have vehicle damage, but surprisingly the vehicles were pretty much unharmed. Thank goodness. Labels: First Year in South Dakota.

No Greater Joys: Days 274-300 in South Dakota
http://nogreaterjoys.blogspot.com/2012/01/days-274-300-in-south-dakota.html
Sunday, January 1, 2012. Days 274-300 in South Dakota. Tuesday, December 6th through Sunday, January 1st. We had a blessed Christmas this year. It was so nice to be able to get together with Kurt's family and spend Christmas day. I ended up getting sick, but I was very happy that the children were all healthy and happy. The children were looking forward to a white Christmas, but we did not get any snow. So no white Christmas for us this year. Labels: First Year in South Dakota. Guang Hui, 9 years old.

No Greater Joys Adoption: A's Ornaments
http://nogreaterjoysadoption.blogspot.com/2009/12/amilynns-ornaments.html
No Greater Joys Adoption. Monday, December 28, 2009. When you look at this picture you might think- no big deal it is just a bunch of ornaments. In fact, these are the older children's "first year" ornaments and a family ornament from 2004. None of these were for A. This was the first year she noticed that she did not have a "special" ornament or any other ornaments with her name on them. So we needed to fix this situation immediately.

No Greater Joys Adoption: Weird Encounter
http://nogreaterjoysadoption.blogspot.com/2010/09/weird-encounter.html
No Greater Joys Adoption. Friday, September 3, 2010. C, A, and I went to Sam's Club about a week ago and while we were there we had a very unusual experience. Let me first say that it is very rare for me to get questions or comments about A being from China or being adopted. I do love answering legitimate questions about our adoption, however sometimes it is a good thing that encounters like these are rare. So the man begins to speak to A in Mandarin!

No Greater Joys Adoption: "I miss China."
http://nogreaterjoysadoption.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-miss-china.html
No Greater Joys Adoption. Friday, September 3, 2010. I miss China.". Yesterday I was taken by surprise when I heard A tell K that she missed China. I have asked A a few times in the past three years if she remembered anything about China. Every time the answer is the same. NO. She was just over 3 1/2 when she came home to us. So it is totally understandable for her not to remember, so why now does she say that she misses it? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 7 1/2 Year Old. American World Adoption Blog.

No Greater Joys Adoption: A's Trip to the Doctor
http://nogreaterjoysadoption.blogspot.com/2009/12/amilynns-trip-to-doctor.html
No Greater Joys Adoption. Sunday, December 27, 2009. A's Trip to the Doctor. Today we traveled about an hour and a half for A's 6 month check-up. I know that these appointments are important, but it seems like the same thing every time. They check her out then send us to the lab to completely traumatize her. She has gotten better though. Thank goodness! It makes all the pain go away and everything feel magically better. At least it will be another 6 months before we have to do it all again. 7 1/2 Year Old.

No Greater Joys Adoption: Happy Birthday A!!!
http://nogreaterjoysadoption.blogspot.com/2010/10/happy-birthday.html
No Greater Joys Adoption. Monday, October 11, 2010. A turned 7 yesterday. I can not believe that she is 7 already. She is such a petite child. I am reminded of it every week when she goes to gymnastics and is one of the older children in her class and still the smallest. But she sure is a bundle of energy, very graceful and determined to do her best. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 7 1/2 Year Old. American World Adoption Blog.
