The idea of the red thread is that you and all the people you are tied to in this life are connected by an invisible red thread. The thread may stretch and tangle, but will never break. You will find each other. All the parents at our party felt the pull of the red thread on the journey to our children, both adopted and biological. It's that "someone is missing" feeling. I think of it as a connection to Heavenly Father's plan for our family. Families are forever, so it makes perfect sense that parents would feel a "red thread" pull toward gathering their family around them. The red thread is a quiet whisper, but it's powerful enough that somehow, all the beautiful kids on the couch - and the one about to be born - found their destiny. We're so grateful! For some of my dear friends, there may yet be red threads stretching from your heart to places yet unknown. We shall see...

Thank you Circe for a great party and for a beautiful description of the "red thread" in our families.
What an adorable group of little faces, and in their pink!...You are special to keep up the traditions you do and to get everyone together. Cute little happy shining faces!...thank you for explaining the "Red Thread" connection and for sharing the pictures. XO Tricia
I'm so glad the party was a success. It looks fun. I sure wish I had some S&S chicken right now. :) Sadly, we don't and I have to pull myself away to go and make dinner. I'm so glad X made her way into our family. It wouldn't be the same with out her.
Thanks for all the fun, Circe. I always glad when the kids get together - I have a feeling that as they get older their red thread connection will hold much more meaning for them.
Oh, and Kate and Claire think it's pretty cool to see their pix on your blog :)
We had such a good time at the party, Circe. Thanks for hosting. It's always great to catch up with you.
