The call - 5 years ago

I can honestly say that was the best call ever.  Not to often that the phone rings with news as AWESOME as "I think I found your daughter"


YES! Myriam YES!!! you found our girl.  THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

I LOVE you Naomi ChuYu up to the stars and down to the bottom of the ocean.

Waiting

and feeling sad about it.

I really want to kiss those cheeks and hold this girl.  Hold her tight and never let her go.

My three come alive when they are at the beach.

How does an orphan girl with a leg that doesn't work quite like it should, doesn't have enough food to grow, or a momma or daddy to kiss her and hug her to love and protect her.  How oh how does this girl have so much JOY??

I can't wait to see for myself.  She is ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS!!

Just got several new videos . . . so SPOILED!!

Same video 2 different formats.

So Rude of me

I have not officially introduced you all to our newest yet oldest daughter.

This girl of ours needs a name.   If she wants to keep her Chinese name we are all for it.  But if she wants an american name we had better get thinking.  Ideas???

Don't let the pictures fool you . . . She is all of 41 lbs at age 9.  Yikes.

How do I love her so much already?!!!

Yep! Another Buckle Fracture

I think it might be time to invest in some bubble wrap!

She only has to wear the arm brace for 2 more weeks.  3 weeks total.

We are going to do a little blood work up and possible bone scan to see if there is a reason this girl has broken/fractured 4 bones in her almost 5 years home with us.
