Starting the mural

Part of our theme is using the character "Dot" from the children's book "Shaoey and Dot" by Stephen Curtis Chapman's wife and brother-in-law. The book is about the journey of their first of three adopted daughters from China, Shaohannah, and "Dot" is the whimsically dressed ladybug that finds "Shaoey" and watches over her all the way to the United States.
