just because

And, because I took a whole slew of pictures of my biggest babies yesterday, and I can think of little else – besides chocolate of course – I am sharing a few here today.

Probably more for me than for you, but I hope you’ll bear with me.

More pictures posted on my sorely neglected photography blog.

Because they look oh so much better in full size.

    Such pretty kids!
    And this is your blog. Ultimately, you write for YOU. So don't apologize. Post away (plus, I'm pretty sure none of us mind looking anyway). ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi, I found your blog through another adoption blog and I must just say that I absolutely love your story!! Since 8th grade I have felt a tremendous calling to adopt from China. I am 21 now, in college, and the dream has only deepened more. Although i am unsure of many things, I have NEVER doubted God's calling on my life for me to adopt. Hearing what you have done is an inspiration and encouragement to me. There is a verse in Genesis that says "and she was called the mother of nations." That seems to be you! Thank you for all you do.

    Hi… I've been reading your blog for quite some time… These pictures are wonderful. Ok i know i probably missed something but i know your son is only in his teen years… Does he live somewhere else. I noticed he really wasn't in your pictures until school break times… Does he go to an alternate school or something? I sound so dumb but im just curious. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Very sweet. The teen years are the best!
    I did my link wrong on Sunday Snapshot-It's the Total Trust picture- is there a way to fix it?
