We arrived a day earlier than the rest of our group, so Andy, Karen, Leila and I went to La Jolla to visit the seals, among other places. Nolan went golfing at Torrey Pines - home of the 2008 U.S. Open - his first of three golf outings in San Diego.
In addition to golfing at a beautiful course, Nolan got to watch hang gliders the entire time he was golfing.
In addition to running my own photography business, I am a proud mother to three beautiful girls that were born in my heart, and a wife to my wonderful husband of 17 years. We adopted Leila from Moscow, Russia at 32-months old and Mia from Jiangsu Province, China at 13-months old. We thought we were done at two, until God led us on another journey to China - this time to bring home our 11-year old daughter, Kara Da Xin in July 2009. I am also the proud Aunt of two nephews, born in Guatemala, and a niece, born in China. I am so thankful to our Heavenly Father for blessing our family with these amazing children.
This is a very special necklace I had made to keep my children close to my heart. On the left, it says "family" in Russian. On the right, it says, "mother and daughter joined at the heart" in Chinese. I love this piece of jewelry and how it always reminds me of our journey to bring home our three precious girls.
