Sunrise

One of the first things I realize when I get to America is that I can see the horizon. In Singapore you rarely get that opportunity (unless you're at the beach.) Today the horizon was filled with magnificent colors--I didn't do anything to this photo--just nature in all its beauty!

Addicted

addicted...to grandma's i-phone. She downloaded special toddler games that Ana loves! Oh well, it's only for another week!!

Adoption Update

Well...we've been informed that we probably won't pass AGAIN! But keep praying anyway. We need a case history completed by Monday. You can also pray for China's family member who will appear in court on Monday. Thanks!

Firsts

We've enjoyed the beautiful nature here! Fresh air is soooo nice! Ana loves running in Grandma and Grandpa's big yard.

Ana met her uncle James for the first time. She had lots of fun petting the dogs and seeing the chickens!

Ana has discovered pine cones (and sticks.) She has lots of fun picking them up and stepping on them.

Snow--Indiana has lots, but even the dusting here was fun for Ana! Wearing her coat, hat, and mittens has been a first. I was surprised at how quickly she took to it! She was very cold the first couple of nights!

Jet Lag

Here's my definition: when your daughter is singing "ABCD" repeatedly at 12:00 at night!

Adoption Update

Behailu's mom has come to court and does not have to come back. All his paperwork is in order. China's family member has to come on January 25th and the Ministry of Woman's Affairs needs to send a letter to court for him. Please ask God to bring together all these loose ends and for favor with the judge on January 25th. Thanks!

I Had Forgotten...

-how cold toilet seats are in the winter!
-how wide the isles are at Wal-Mart.
-how many choices/variety there are in America.
-how people greet you at the store.
-how pretty frost is on the ground.
-how blessed I am!
