One Year Ago.

February 17, 2008....one year ago.....we waited with about 10 other families in a ballroom in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, for a little girl who needed a family. God had placed it on our hearts 3 years earlier to welcome an orphan into our home. The moment we had been waiting for with great anticipation...............




.....and today, we are rejoicing in Lydia Mei's health, activity, progress, and thanking God for allowing us to be a part of His plan for Lydia Mei.

Oh Yes, what a change. I can't even imagine my life without Emily. What an AWESOME journey and to have shared it with you. I am full of emotions this day and yes there are tears.

Your teary-eyed friend,

Lydia,

It has been a year have you worked the kinks out of that crew of yours? They seem to be taking real good care of you.

Doug and Cammy,

Has it been a year since we were room mates? Sorry you got stuck between our rooms.

God Bless,
Mike

Lydia,

Your are my orphanage sister and we will always be connected because of that! I can't wait to see you in June! You have been blessed with a great Mom, Dad, sister and brothers! But they have been more blessed by you!
