Happy Friday!


It's been a busy week around here. Landon got his driver's license on Tuesday. School is winding down. David graduates one week from today! Wow, where has the time gone? Lily Mei is talking up a storm. She is saying 3 and 4 word sentences and she cracks us up with some of the things she comes up with. She is just an angel and we are so blessed that she is ours!

Please pray for all the families in China who are suffering because of the terrible earthquake. We recieved Lily Mei in Chongqing (one of the hardest hit areas) and her orphanage is in Liangping, where an elementary school collapsed and killed five children. It all just makes me sad. I also read this morning where one orphanage just received twelve children that are earthquake orphans. My heart breaks for those families that have been torn apart. We will always have a special place in our hearts for China and her people. Please consider donating to an earthquake fund through HTS, CHI, LWOB or OCDF.

Also, please remember my friend Sharon and her husband John. They are in China right now and will be united with their precious Bailey on Monday. Thankfully, Bailey is not in an area affected by the earthquake, but I know how anxious Sharon is to get to her and have her in her arms.

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Wow, Look at all that hair! I was just looking at her gotcha day pictures on the Mother's day slide show and so I can really notice the difference today.
I was thinking of you at Target last night. there was an Asian cabbage patch doll. So I checked it out and blah! it had some sort of 'feature' that let it really lick its own icecream cone. What a disgusting idea, a doll that licks things }:(
