More pictures



Here are a couple more recent pictures. ;) We're flying out July 22nd... driving out to the inlaws on July 17. That's less than a month away. I can't quite fathom it.

My parents are in China right now. Right this very minute, they are in another country, going about the process of adopting another child. My sister, Lou Juan. Here's my mother's blog. She plans on updating periodically during the three weeks they spend there. This is such an interesting, turbulent time for my whole family. I'm glad to be going through this experience with my Mother... we'll be doing this together. It is such an amazing blessing. We started our processes years apart, but we are ending up bringing our children home within a few weeks of each other. I have to say it must be foreordained, and God is guiding us in these processes, and my mother and I are meant to be a support to one another in this. I plan on calling her and venting and listening to her vent and figuring things out together. I'm so, so glad.

And I'm glad to have a new sister, too. It still hasn't quite sunk in: Lou Juan is my sister. Winna and May are my daughters.

This world is amazing.
