Not this week :(

Well, our agency is closed until Monday. So, again we are waiting...

Monday is our wedding anniversary, so maybe we'll get the best present ever?

~~~ I meant to publish this on thelittlegirlinpink blog, but I accidentally posted it here! See where my mind is?

Happy New Year to everyone!

Picture Day!

We are finally getting Graycen's picture taken today! It has been entirely too long (2 years) since I have taken her to get her picture "made" by someone other than me. Well, last year she had her picture taken with Eliana. So, check back later for the proof...


*** UPDATE ***


Success! I feel we got some good shots for the money (it was one of those get your pics quick places). They really show her personality. At least now we have lots of presents to give everyone ;)!

Three Years with Graycen HongYuan

December 4th marked 3 years that Graycen has been part of our family! I took this picture, but the next day is when my friend Laura was admitted to ICU. I am just now remembering to post.

Graycen just started doing this "pose". We gave her one of the pearl necklaces we bought in China--the pink ones. I am taking her to get her picture hopefully on Monday (unless we get the ice storm forcasted). She will wear them with her fancy dress.

What a joy and blessing this sweet girl has been to our lives over the past 3 years! We cannot imagine our family without her.

This morning my dear friend Laura went to be with Jesus. She fought long and hard, but that mean old cancer finally won. No more pain, no more suffering. I know she is restored to her beautiful perfect self, including the thick curly hair she had before all the chemo took it away. Oh how we will miss you sweet, funny girl. I know we will laugh again together in heaven some day.
