Our blog has won a Blog award!  And, we weren’t given this by just one reader, but by TWO!  Teresa at http://www.continuingthejourney.blogspot.com/ and Kristin at http://busytimesfour.blogspot.com/ decided that our blog was worthy of the “One Lovely Blog” award!  According to Teresa’s blog, “This award is given to those whose blog is entertaining and fun to read…one you get excited about when you notice a new entry!” 

Teresa has two children…an adorable bio teenager and a totally cute little guy from China.  AND, they’re waiting to travel to China again for little Molly!  Kristin also has bio and adopted children; two of each in fact!  I love reading both of their blogs! 

Now, I get to give this award to 3 of my favorite blogs…which, will be hard since I’m addicted to so many :)  I’m sticking to the rules…these are blogs that I go to a lot, and love it when I see a new entry!

1.  Rebecca at “La Dolce Vita – The Sweet Life” http://www.radicchis.blogspot.com/ is such a sweet, dear friend that I hope to meet one day!  Rebecca and her husband Mark have an adorable little girl, Sophia, and are “in line” to adopt from China.  Rebecca’s posts are thought-provoking, funny, faith-filled, and cute! 

2.  Patricia at “Little Cabin in the Woods” http://www.littlecabininthewoods.typepad.com/ and I received the referrals for our girls on the same day!  Her Willow is breathtaking, as are her other 2 China Empresses.  She also has 3 older sons, and she’s a homeschooling mama like me :)  Her blog is beautiful, her photography is beyond amazing, and her faith shows in every word she types. 

3.  Janet at Tuininga Treasures http://www.tuiningatreasures.blogspot.com/ is the twin I never had.  We’re both Christian women, each had 4 children (I’ll explain that one…), and we both homeschool.  Plus, we both live to tease the daylights out of each other :)  We, of course, now have 5 children and Janet one-upped me by adopting TWO at one time from Uganda last year!  Cheater…  You’ll love her blog!
