And the winner is......

I am a new blogger. I have worked for several weeks to make each post just right. I have not posted for a week because I have been engrossed in reading a book series that I cannot put down! Just as I have been feeling guilt for not posting I get this wonderful email from my fellow blogger Octamom that I am the winner of a Arte y Pico award. This is an award given by bloggers to recognize blogs that they love. What a nice gesture from a Master Blogger!

As a part of passing this award along there are rules for award winners and presenters that must be posted.

1) You must choose 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award for creativity, design, interesting material, and contribution to the blogging community, regardless of language.

2) You must publish the name of each award-winning author as well as a link to his or her blog.

3) Each award-winner must post a picture of the award and link back to the blog that has given the award.

4) Both the giver and the recipient of the award must link to the “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5) You must post these rules.

I am happy to pass this award on to my good friend at Heart and Seoul for her wonderful blog about her very special family. Parent of two precious adopted children from South Korea and waiting on a third 7 month old child from Korea who will hopefully be home with them by Thanksgiving. Her blog is creatively designed and her heart for these children and love of God is so evident. All who read her words will be inspired. She has chosen the homeschool calling and friends will love sharing ideas with this amazing woman. She has given me permission to post her family pictures on my site so those who view can join me in praying for this family as they await baby Drew.

Isn't this this cutest picture you have seen! She reports that after several hearing tests he has been found to have normal hearing! A blessing for this family who practices Auditory Living.

A beautiful family who love God and each other. They are inspiring to me and will be to others.

I have included a special Youtube bar with an amazing video of their adoption testimony. View this video at the bottom of my blog. Please visit her blog site and comment on these cuties!!

I will reserve the right to post 4 more awards in the future if that is okay by the rules.

Thank you Octamom for making me a winner!
