About this blog

  • We are Wendy and Dan and this site for family and friends who want to follow along on our parenting adventures. For 10 long years many of you prayed with us, cried with us, and supported us in our quest to become parents. In 2004 God blessed us with our first daughter, Elizabeth (Hua Hua), who was born in China, and now, in 2006, He is blessing us with our second, Rachel.

    “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” – John 14:13-14

    “I am the Lord, The God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27

We're back!

Twenty-five hours there. In the car. Spread over three days.

Twenty six and a half hours back. In the car. Spread over two days.

Vacation_012_2 We traveled through six states. We spent ten nights in five different spots. We saw relatives in Georgia, relatives in florida and very special friends we adopted with in 04 and 06 in Tennessee. We went to the twice beach, spent a night and a very full day at Disney World and swam in Grandma and Grandpa's pool. The girls played and played and played with their cousins, grandparents and friends. And now, spring break is done. We're back. And boy, are we ever bushed.

This level of exhaustion rivals how we felt when we returned from China in 06. It is not as severe, of course, but it is the same sort of drop dead exhaustion, where everything just aches. The ride back was a killer - picture one big traffic jam, filled with plenty of construction stops, rain and crowds, crowds, crowds and very little sleep. But we sure did have fun.
