Happy Mother's Day

I was recently asked to share our adoption story in a local Christian magazine that is published monthly. Hope you enjoy! http://streettalkamerica.com/home/news/2010mendyparmer.php

I can't believe that I have neglected my blog for so long. I now have a new computer that I can load pictures on. Stay tuned. You are not gonna believe how much the kiddos have changed.

Happy Referral Day.....3 years

Where has time gone? Three years ago today we received our referral of a beautiful little girl from Yulin City, Guangxi, China. She was only 10.5 months old, but yet, so tiny. We had already chosen her name to be Joleigh Elizabeth *chinese name* How could you be in love with someone you have never met? How can I describe the feeling of that awesome day. When we opened that email up and there was our beautiful, almond-eyed daughter from China. Thank you God for blessing me with two beautiful children thru the miracle of adoption. Here is last years post with pictures and on this post is 2009 picture. Click here to see last years post and how she has changed in such a short time. We love you, Joleigh! Happy Referral Day!

From China With Love Photo Blog...

This week is photo is of "Gotcha Day" WOW! Our "gotcha day" with Joleigh is fast approaching. Can not believe it will soon be 3 years come November 20.

Support Family Business

I am loving my new Scentsy Wickless Business. I was reading on our website tonight and was very excited to see that Scentsy is Supporting Family Business. Click on the banner to learn more. I pledged to spend $50, on Oct 12th, at a local family business. I need 5 friends to join me in making that pledge. Our goal is to inspire 100,000 people to pledge to spend an extra $50 at locally owned small businesses. That’s a $5 million ripple effect in local economies across the nation. We encourage you to organize with others when you shop on October 12 or any day that week – making it a memorable experience with a more meaningful impact on the small businesses you choose to help.

We are still here!!

Sorry I haven't posted in forever! Camera difficulties along with getting back into the routine of returning to school, has kept me quite busy. I have been blessed to be given the teaching position of one of the K4 classes this year. It has been a wonderful 3 years of being a SAHM and being able to have that time to bond and play with Joleigh. Since she is now almost 4, she is old enough to attend the K3 program, so, it is back to work. Jacob has started the 7th grade. WOW! I just seems like the other day that I was dropping him off for K4 for his first time. Oh my! Now, Joleigh, is going to K3 and LOVING it! She is coming home singing and telling us all about her day. Jacob is playing football this year and Joleigh will begin ballet. WOW! What a busy schedule we will have, but looking forward to it. Love to all and hopefully, I will be able to post "First Day at School" pictures soon!
