The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Tuesday, October 20, 2009. So, I haven't posted in 6 months. It's been REALLY hard to get started again and trying to figure out if I wanted to back track or just start from the present. Well, getting up to date is just too overwhelming. So welcome to now and what we're doing in our new home in Centerton, AR. October 20, 2009 at 9:33 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A Year of CrockPotting.

Five, Six... Pick up sticks: April 2010
http://lovejourneytochina.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Links to this post. Monday, April 19, 2010. Four weeks after starting school I got a phone call that really should have been made much earlier. The school district had to test Claire's proficiency in English so they can offer services if they are needed. I was welcomed to attend so I did. I made sure that declining services now wouldn't affect the possibility of needing ESL services in the future. So, if our school does get an ESL program in the future we can have Claire star...

Five, Six... Pick up sticks: September 2010
http://lovejourneytochina.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Older Child Chronicles: Part 3. What can happen at and after Gotcha. I had read many, many stories of other adoptions before traveling. Just when I thought I'd read enough, I'd read more. I knew the children being adopted would most likely be shut down when you first meet them. I knew that nearly all children cry, some even hitting, kicking and screaming. And then it happened. I felt so wrong, like we were not doing the right thing, like we just kidnapped a child. I que...

Five, Six... Pick up sticks: April 2011
http://lovejourneytochina.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 11, 2011. Overdue for an update. Let's see, Claire has been home now for almost 15 months. What is it like around our house? First, let's start with all the good stuff. S are fantastic. I would recommend those to everyone! So what time would that be? Telling the time isn't hard for her but the earlier and later part really mess her up. She had to learn what earlier and later meant just to understand the problem. As her vocabulary grows she should grasp these concepts easier. I am certain th...

Five, Six... Pick up sticks: January 2011
http://lovejourneytochina.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 28, 2011. A video to take you through our first year with Claire. It is unbelievable to me that today marks one full year that we have had Claire as our daughter. The past year has gone by so incredibly fast compared to the nine months we waited for her. I initially made this video for Claire; to capture her first year with us, from her first minutes through all of her firsts. After working on this video for several hours it became therapeutic for me,. Links to this post. I have a wonderf...

Five, Six... Pick up sticks: Laundry
http://lovejourneytochina.blogspot.com/2010/02/laundry.html
Monday, February 1, 2010. This how we do our laundry. This is how we do our laundry,. The hotels laundry service is outrageously expensive- over $8 per pair of pants. Catherine found us a laundry shop within walking distance so we dropped off 4 pairs of pants and one shirt at that place for the same price but it will take 4 days. So, to cut down on expense and not being able to send everything out or wed have nothing to wear we did a bathtub load of laundry. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I have a...

The Bingham's: Mr. Accident
http://jeffaliciabingham.blogspot.com/2009/04/mr-accident.html
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Thursday, April 9, 2009. Dylan has become quite the little accident prone child. In the last to weeks we have went through a whole box of band-aids and created havoc on the face. The first accident happened while jumping on the trampoline at his cousins house. Some how he fell and put his teeth completely through his upper lip. He instantly had a fat lip and a black bruise on his chin. What can I say, boys will be boys!

Five, Six... Pick up sticks: May 2010
http://lovejourneytochina.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. And now, four months later this is what we see. No more fear, no more sadness, her anxiety of being abandoned is starting to diminish, she's speaking nearly fluent English, and she's even beginning to read! Her face looks much happier now, almost relaxed in way. Do we still see some grief? Yes, but it's getting more and more rare that she cries for her China family. Claire has a huge amount of anxiety when it comes to doctors or dentists. It took us 20 minutes just to get her to...
