what a beautiful first gift for the nursery. and it does capture the love and sacrifice of both the ethiopian mommy and the forever mommy.

Geez, talk about getting emotional reading that quote! I guess I should not read blogs at work…

Thank you for sharing!

Love that frame too! You can’t go wrong with any of the frames from Magnolia Lane. I sure miss Carta Bella. 🙁 My favorite store in Vickery Village until they moved to Roswell. Such a sweet family. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🙂

How do you watermark a picture on your blog? thanks!!Polly

A much needed weekend in the South…

Every photographer knows…and every client who regularly uses a photographer for their holiday pictures know…that Christmas time is by far the craziest time of year. Every year I say my deadline to order is November 15th—and every year I get gazillons of emails asking me to pretty please extend order galleries…pretty please design a last […]

Beautiful blog. I have been following your blog for about a month….our third child is adopted from Guatemala and we are seriously praying about starting ET. (We also have a little girl named Lane….she sometimes goes by Laney). What a precious family you have and can’t wait to see how God is going to bless you even more with your new ET love. I have a wordpress blog too and was wondering if you could give me any tips on how you were able to set yours up with a great template and stuff. I see that you used a .com domain…mine is hosted at wordpress.com. I think you have to use a self-hosted domain like yours to be able to set up more options…did you create the template and everything yourself? I know you are a busy mom, but any help would be appreciated. Your blog looks great!

I am thinking about making the move too…how does wordpress protect things?

JonesEthiopia - December 15, 2009 - 6:43 am

Could you tell me how to make the switch, too? I don’t want to go privat necessarily, but I do want to make things a little more secure. I didn’t know you could use special backgrounds and all that on wordpress!

LOVE IT!!! Will you share how you made WordPress so cute on one of your posts!?! I was looking at this, but the templates were so drab and I love the look on my google blogger:)
Thanks!
Jenny

I love it! The Christmas card is beautiful too. Ours aren’t getting made or sent out until our babies are home, so ours are going to be landing in mailboxes in February. I just can’t bring myself to make them without pictures of 2 members of our family on them. So everyone will just have to wait. I’m sure they’ll understand. Can’t wait to see more pictures. I too would love some advice and details about switching to WordPress.

Dawn - December 15, 2009 - 6:57 pm

I would love to be added to your blog roll….Love reading your blog & have updated it on our web. Thanks again for all the tips…. 🙂

Love your Christmas Card- Definitely have sooo many reasons to Celebrate Christ!!

heidi - December 16, 2009 - 6:44 am

Hey there! So, do you think this website will be more secure? I was wondering if I should move mine too? I love the new look

Heather Wamble - December 17, 2009 - 10:59 am

Andrea! The new blog looks great! I love my wordpress blog, just haven’t kept it up as I should! (www.yettobestudios.com/blog)
We got your Christmas Card in the mail, and it’s just beautiful… LOVE the bookmark! It’s in my Bible. Love, love, love it! Thank you for blogging about your journey- I’ve loved hearing about how it’s going, and you’re such a blessing to me! =) Love to you!

The Three Kings…the journey of obedience

I stayed up late last night creating a little outfit my little man to wear in the live nativity at school. Next Friday he will be one of the three kings–he gets to be the Ethiopian king! I had 2 choices in creating a turban. Either I could watch this you tube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7RMH873lR0 (nice, […]
