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 made a decision!

We're applying to the Christian school for kindergarten! After much prayer and visits to the school, conversations with other parents there,  conversations with the principal, more prayer, and an amazing amount of paperwork-  we are applying....

On Friday Hua Hua goes in for some sort of developmental testing before her regular preschool class. On Saturday she goes in again for a sample kindergarten class before chinese school, and then we wait. If the elder board decides to help us with tuition costs and we're accepted, we'll enroll her and my life starting in fall will involve A LOT of time in the car but hopefully the school will be everything we hope it will be, making it all more than worth it.

And if we don't get the scholarship help, well, mark this down as a learning process and we're back at the public school having to decide between five full days or five half days. Thanks for everyone who has encouraged us on this. Now the waiting begins!

That is so exciting! I will pray that you get the scholarship money! When will you know?

Becky just told me that Keith will have part time. I'm so glad! Keep us posted on the Christian school.
