A Great Wonder.


It is a great wonder that Maggie was even born considering the options for pregnant woman in China.


It is a great wonder that Maggie was found alive by a police man, just after she was born, on the side of a road.


It is a great wonder that she survived fourteen months in a poor orphanage, confined to a baby bed and silence.


It is a great wonder we were able to complete the mountains of paperwork and red tape to fly half way around the world and enter a Communist country to bring home Maggie.


It is a great wonder that Maggie is doing so amazing just one year after she was first placed in our arms.



Give thanks to the Lord of Lords, to Him who alone does Great Wonders.          Psalm 136:3-4

The Pizza man.

          The pizza delivery man was just leaving and we were about to close the front door. Suddenly, Maggie ran outside to catch the pizza guy. She had something very important to say !  She yelled from the front porch " Happy Jingle, have a merry jingle, um, I mean, have a merry Christmas ! Merry Christmas !"  We hope you all had a very merry Christmas too !!

Big Milestone !

We're celebrating ! Because Maggie is potty trained !!! For reals.  I started potty training Maggie way back in the summer, but I was not consistent at all.  So, I kind of gave up.  Then, Maggie started a new school and her teacher is known as the "potty whisperer".  Seriously. She is known to magically transform little ones from diapers to potty in just a week. And so she did. It took about a week for her to start going potty. She is even sleeping in her big girl panties - no pull ups - and no accidents at night. We are all so proud of her !  I think Maggie is pretty proud of herself too !
