Welcome to Jade's blog Butterflies and Ladybugs!

Well,

After 3 years of reading many, many blogs I've finally decided to start one of our own. For the last three ( yes, count them, 3!) years we have embarked on a wonderful adventure and are currently waiting for our daughter Jade to let us know she is ready for us.

This is a journey that we have shared with so many other people before us, many of whom we'll never have the chance to meet in person. This road, long and winding with many ups, downs and at times seemingly never ending, will ultimately carry us to Jade. It is a road that has been by now, well worn. The road, like the Great Wall of China, has been forged through much time, sweat, tears, blood love and hope.

Through Jade's blog I've decided to invite you to walk with us to get her. This blog will serve as part of Jade's history and will, I hope, serve to answer some of her questions of who, what, where, when and why. It will attempt to show her the history of China - the land where she began her walk to us, the culture, beliefs and anything else I decide will be beneficial to her. So, pull up a chair, get comfy and come along with us to China and Jade!
