We decided to try and make Valentine's a special day for our family. I decorated the house a little. We had a special dinner which consisted of a heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's, heart shaped jello jigglers and strawberries (because they are red). After dinner we played a game of Valentine's bingo, using conversation hearts. Hope seized the opportunity to stuff as many conversation hearts in her mouth as she could when I wasn't paying attention. We finished the night off by watching Charlie Brown's Valentine DVD. Here are some pictures from our evening:
I (Sarah) taught English in China in 1999 and fell in love with the people there. Mike and I met in 2001, got married in 2002 and started our family a year later. After our third child we knew our family wasn't complete and we both felt led to pursue adoption. This is our journey...
