Catch up....birthday and Christmas

6 looks good on her...even with pizza sauce

Ariel mermaid dress

Sweet girl and her Jessie

We had a birthday....the big 6!!! She is really happy to finally be six. "All my China sisters are 6!" I reminded her that wasn't true, but still dramatic. We had a small party here at home and another at school. She got her beloved Jessie doll and a few other pretties. I can't believe how fast she is growing....we are now on the down hill slopes of kindergarten...arrrgh how did that happen?

"Princess Long Hair"

Working hard on carousel

So happy about spidey

Her new potatoe head robe

Look what Santa left!!!!

Then Christmas came and the chaos ensued....paper flying and kids screaming. Hope all had a safe and happy New Year.

Every call has a beginning. A quiet moment when God whispers a promise to a mother’s heart . A holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts the journey set before him. A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns… Casting its first light on a chosen threshold. A gentle knock..a closed door opens, a sacred invitation sent by the Father.. leads to the other side of the world. Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows praying for someone to care.. and then one morning, on an ordinary day an orphan’s life changes... God sends them a second chance...Through you..
