my little lantern: wishing for a little paper lantern to light up my life

Hi. I'm Sarah. He's Kevin. She's Hannah Claire. We're a family, blessed with our daughter via international adoption. Hannah was born and lovingly cared for in Taiwan, placed into our arms on 12.29.08, and things haven't been quite the same since. Hallelujah! On 9.2.11 we rejoiced when we received the referral for a little boy, nearly 10 months old, living in foster care in Taiwan. Our family is excitingly preparing for him to come home in 2012.

"By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown

wishing for a little paper lantern to light up my life

Nothing happening on the adoption front of course, just dreaming of happy dreams of a little paper lantern to light up my life. My eBay Gymboree paper lanterns line items arrived in the mail, so I've got my "baby clothes are crack for mommies" fix for the week. Sedona must have developed oldest child syndrome already, as she wants all of my attention and is jumping in front of the camera when I try to take pictures.

Those pants are so cute! I just went to Gymboree last weekend and found a little red sweater with an attached stuffed bunny in one of the pockets. Lauren has so many clothes but I couldn't resist that one!

Abbey has big plans for Gymboree this weekend. Apparently Gymbucks are back in progress. I am not sure what the little guy needs though!

Of course, Abbey can always say, "Well, Sarah bought Hannah Claire a lot clothes." Thanks alot!

No problem. I got your back, Abbey! There's all sorts of things you can find on eBay from retired Gymboree lines that feature little cutie frogs.
