Our Daughter

Meet our daughter, Qiana Rebekah.  Isn't she adorable!
She was born in April 2009 and currently lives

in an orphanage in China.  We don't have too many
pictures to share right now. We're hoping for an update
sometime next month.  New pics are possible.

We can't wait to bring her home! 

In the next couple of days, we'll share some ways that you can
help us to bring her home!

Early B-Day Gift

These arrived at our doorstep this morning.  They are an early birthday
gift from my mom. I'll share with the family as eating all of them won't help this
almost 40 year old gal in keeping somewhat of a modest figure
(insert laughing here). :-)  The card in the box says to consume them within
48 hours of arrival.  Darn.  I guess we'll have to eat them today as I don't think
they'll stay fresh for another 10 days!   The boys think they are very cool! 
They especially like the chocolate b-day card that was included  in the box.
They will have to wait for that until my birthday. :-)  Thanks Mom!!!

We do have reason to celebrate, so I guess they arrived on an appropriate day.

Our dossier is completed and on it's way to our agency!  It's amazing how much

paperwork is required to adopt a child.   There's been a lot of hurry up

and waiting involved.  That's okay though because we have a wonderful

reason to have gone through all of this...she's waiting for us in

Henan, China and we can't wait to meet her and bring her home!

God is so very good!!
