Trevor's visit from Mrs Angie and Colin Rylands

***As you know, I am a "blogger baby"!!! I am just getting the hang of all the fun things that blogging has to offer me and the world! So first let me give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Angie Rylands and Annie Hamlin...they are clipping my "baby blogging" wings so I can learn to FLY!!!! LOL! They have helped me with my "buttons", my lay out,  taught me, how to upload pictures and all that fun, fancy stuff us newbies have to learn!!! Love you Girls and THANK YOU!!!***

While Angie was in Wuhan going to get her precious new son Cameron, she was able to visit Trevor, as well and take him a Care package from us! His gift included pajamas,a fleece shirt and pants,cars, candy and a photo album of our family, our home, our friends, etc! Here he is taking his first look at what it looks like to be a SCARBROUGH!




We sent a picture of Tripp in a pair of Captain America PJ's holding Trevor's new pair that matched and were in his care package.


Oh~ can he be any CUTER??? Its may sound crazy that you can LOVE & MISS a person you have never met before but let me tell you ...IT IS POSSIBLE!!! I love this sweet child already and can not wait to hold him in my Mommy arms for the first time! (OH the tears!!!).

Also, we learned that not only are he and Cameron Rylands friends, they are BEST friends. Trevor was so excited when the translator shared with him that our families are very close friends and live only 30 minutes apart! They will go to church together every Sunday together too! YAY!!!!



Cameron is on the left and Trevor is on the right! How good is our God that He would care enough about these boys to not only give them FOREVER FAMILIES but that they can maintain their friendship stateside!  Amazing how He cares about us even in the smallest details.

I am so thankful to have a friend like Angie who loved me and my son enough to haggle with the orphanage and have the mandantory Orphanage Fee of $200.00 waived to see Trevor, Jenny (Kim Jackson's daughter) and 3 other precious kids she wanted to advocate for!!! You GO SISTER!!! AND, now 2 of the 3 kiddos have FOREVER FAMILIES!!! We are ALL blessed by you friend! Thank you for loving on my baby boy for me and bringing me back some wonderful pics and videos to keep me hanging on while I plow though the paper work!!



Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are blessed enough to have friends like I do in 2012 if you dont already!!

Much Love, Kim :)

The Scarbrough Family: Reflecting on 2011

The Scarbrough Family: Reflecting on 2011: Wow! What a year this has been! This year has brought so much JOY to my heart... watching my baby girl turn a year old, learn how to walk,...

Reflecting on 2011

Wow! What a year this has been!

This year has brought so much JOY to my heart... watching my baby girl turn a year old, learn how to walk, use her sign language and develop quite a sassy little personality! Watching my son turn five, move up to a new belt level in karate, learn to read and have a desire to pray and learn more about Jesus. Watching my husband take an idea and making a successful business out of it, seeing my kids scream "DADDY" everyday when he comes in the door from work, watching him make sometimes hard decisions for our families well being, and mostly watching him grown in Christ as the leader of our home. Truly all amazing things...  And, then when you think your life could not be any better God gives you another child. Another child to love, treasure, share the Gospel with and have under your roof for many years to come. More, laughter, more tears, more hugs, more prayers, more than anything I could have EVER imagine I would have in my life time.

As I write this tears of joy stream down my cheeks.I am humble that God would love me, the sinner that I am as much as he does. My husband could love a wife who is not perfect in size, shape, her opinions or sometimes in her actions. My children could love a Mommy who fails every day at hitting the marks...I am THANKFUL God would step in those gaps for me and help my husband and children see I am human and that no matter what mistakes I make... my greatest LOVE in life is being a daughter of a King, Wife of a Saint and the Mommy of the most precious Angels I never dreamed I could have.

As this year winds down, I anticipate 2012 to be just as amazing in its own way as we welcome our third child William Trevor. WE pray to have him home from China by Thanksgiving next year IF NOT sooner!!! We are diligently working on applications, home study paperwork, back ground checks and all the fun stuff that comes along with adopting a child!!!



Thank you sweet Lord, for all you sacrificed for me to have this amazing life for you!

See you all next year when the fundraising campaign begins!

Much love, Kim
