Born on the other side of the world, and placed in our hearts . Now she is home. Before she had a name, our children lovingly referred to her as "the China girl"

A beautiful evening
Wow, what a day! After the last few days that were VERY cold, the weather warmed up considerably. We put up Christmas lights, and while we were still outside, the moon came up and the sun went down. It was beautiful!

Yes, it was a beautiful full moon! I have so many times over the years called Uncle Ronnie, Ira and Sarah to "come look at the moon." In October, the Harvest Moon was so beautiful, I had to call Sarah! She had just been talking to her room mate and said "I can't believe Mom hasn't called", just a few minutes later her phone rang, Mom calling. I emailed Ira the other morning telling him to keep a watch out for the moon, it was on its way over to him.
Thanks for the picturs of the moon, I'm sure the kids will remember that night for a long time!
Tja, auch bei uns ist Vollmond, die Kids haben schon lange darauf gewartet, und heute war dann auch so ein Tag, der besser schon nach dem Zmorge fertig gewesen wäre..... Warum brauchen die Mütter bei Vollmond immer soooo viele Nerven! Wahrscheinlich, um nach draussen zu gehen, und die Schönheit von Gottes Mond zu geniessen! Das mache ich jetzt gleich! liebe Grüsse Hanna

The adventures of our family continue long after this adoption journey has ended. For that purpose we will be starting a new Blogfor friends and family. If you would like access to this new blog, please email us at wyochinagirl@gmail.com
We are an international family with roots in the USA, Switzerland, and China. We have 6 children between the ages of 8 and 14. Our youngest two daughters were adopted from China in 2007 and 2010. We live in the "Forever West" State of Wyoming, USA, where we enjoy living and celebrating our different heritage with its unique traditions.
We're nuts about God, family, Swiss Chocolate, legos, traveling, green smoothies, soccer, video games, gardening, Nutella, laptops, tapioca pudding, princesses, reading, home-made bread, potstickers, friends, and many other things that the Lord has blessed us with.

love will grow
do you trust me
little girl?
when your merry eyes
seemed dimmed with dreaming
do you grieve?
in their troubled depth
lie memories
of other mothers
this I know
do you trust me
little girl
realize that after me
there will be
no other mothers-
that for this human measure
of "forever"
I am yours?
trust me first
my darling...
love will grow
