"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break." - An ancient Chinese proverb.

Great weekend with lots of ladybug sightings!
What a super weekend. I went to a B&B in Lovingston, VA with a bunch of girlfriends. We did scrapbooking, I read a book, did some knitting, took some lovely walks and sat out enjoying all the birds. It was restful and restorative. The inn keepers at Orchard House were gracious hosts and took super care of us. The girls were fun and we enjoyed late nights of chatting and laughing. Back at the fort, David was incredible. I came home and he had done a lot of yard work and planted some beautiful flowers. He had done a lot of projects inside the house too. All weekend I saw ladybugs. I am posting a photo of the best one I saw. Last night we ordered Chinese food and my fortune said something like "very soon you will be traveling over wide waters". David planted the Bleeding Heart last year - we can't believe how it has bloomed this year! Our flox is also starting to look pretty.
We are Melanie & David and have been married 17 years. On July 1, 2007 we adopted our amazing and precious daughter Indigo in Jiangxi province. On February 1, 2010 we returned to China and adopted our son Isaac from Jiangsu province.
You first come to us in an envelope with letters, forms and such. Just tiny little pictures with nothing warm to touch. You grew in our imagination, in our hearts, and in our minds. You brought us greater joy than we ever thought we'd find. A phone call started labor pains which lasted 'til we met. Strangers brought together a day we won't forget. You bloomed as you were planned in our hearts, our lives, our home. Our child of chance, of plan, of will, you're now our very own. Author unknown.
Waiting by Karen Cooper
I haven't met you yet or seen your face, but in my heart you hold a place. My hopes grow with each passing day, even though you're miles away. I know you're there waiting for me, as I am here waiting to see, the child God has sent from above, to make me a mother and share all my love.
