Are you a little jealous of our weather???

Christmas

Christmas Eve--Christmas Pictures

The electricity was off Christmas Eve afternoon and evening, so we had Christmas cookies and hot chocolate by candle light while we read the Christmas story from the Bible.

Some pre-Christmas pictures

Chinese Language

MinMin has been learning to write in cursive for the last couple of weeks. I also have her write her spelling/vocabulary words in Chinese next to the English word. It is so interesting to watch her write in Chinese....and it reminded me of a fascinating website that I found a few months ago. You should really take the time to watch this. I'm sure that you will agree that it is amazing,

OK, so you'll have to cut and paste this as it won't make it a link for me. Sorry.

Two Months Ago Today.....

we met our daughter, Janelle MinMin at the Civil Affairs Office in Guangzhou, China. As most of you know, that was not an easy day for her, nor were the days to follow. It is so amazing to see the difference now, two months later. MinMin is a happy girl, is learning English, loves her brother and sister, and is happy to have big sister, Lancy, visiting right now. Though the beginning was hard, and we wondered how things were going to work out, we never doubted that God had chosen MinMin to be our daughter.

Four years ago this week we were first challenged by God to bring home another child for our family. It was not something that we had planned to do. Maybe there is someone, even one family, reading this post today who God would call to adopt. Watch the video that follows and be OPEN to God's still small voice calling you.....
