Our Journey: July 2014

Monday, July 28, 2014. The New Eye and the Ear Follow-up. Today was a good day. Today was an interesting day. Kaili had two appointments. It made for a long day, but we only had to make the drive once instead of twice. Kaitlynn came with us to keep her entertained in the backseat. A few hundreds rounds of the War Eagle Fight Song kept her happy too. We met back with Dr. Reed for a follow up with her ears after surgery. Everything looked great! We also had a fitting for her new eye. First he showed us wha...

Our Journey: November 2013
http://chinaprayers.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 18, 2013. Qing Xiao Zhu :庆晓珠. Before we knew who our new daughter would be, I had often wondered about her name. I was so ready to find out who she was, and where she was, but also the name she had been given. In the Chinese culture, names are very important and they all mean something. When we did find her in September, I spent days trying to find out the meaning of her names, but not being familiar with the Chinese language, it was really difficult. Xiao = the breaking of the dawn.

Sunday, November 2, 2014. I just scrolled though my phone and realized how behind I was in preserving the daily pictures. Here is a month's worth of Kaili moments! She was trying to kiss me through the window. :). Discovering the animal water bowl. She is very obsessed with the cat. Kaili and Aubie liked the new dog bed. Walking into church with Daddy. First trip to Wal Mart. Yes She sleeps like this. Yes, it drives me crazy. Fun BEFORE the dentist called her name. Saturday morning fun on the soccer field.

Saturday, September 27, 2014. She has been home for 8 months this week. 8 months! That sure has flown by and she has changed so much! September 9th was the one year anniversary of that phone call from our case worker. A year since we had first seen her picture. It has been a busy month. An extremely busy month. So busy that this self proclaimed gold medal winner of the Queen of Multitasking is crying UNCLE! I didn't need to know. God knew. And He worked it out perfectly! With 22 different classes the kid...

Our Journey: January 2014
http://chinaprayers.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. Finally - they are all together. The first (of many) group shots. I love my family! Had to get one with the Cheerios box. I think we would still be in that passport photo office if we hadn't had those to feed her. Just wanted to quickly post the 2 pictures we took today. Today was a great day for her. She is happy! She is sleeping well and eating well and already on her new schedule. She slept 11 hours last night and took a 3 hour nap. That couldn't be more perfect! We had alrea...

Our Journey: Our Church
http://chinaprayers.blogspot.com/2014/09/our-church.html
Sunday, September 21, 2014. And reminisce about our past and be reminded of all God has done in our lives. My kids love to do the same. Those books are always being taken down and thumbed through. They love to ask questions about events, and some will swear they remember certain things, but truthfully they are remembering them through the photos and stories. After we retuned from China the ladies in the church wanted to give Kaili a baby shower. They wanted to continue the tradition of honoring all o...
