Because we are led...: 5 years ago...
http://becauseweareled.blogspot.com/2012/05/5-years-ago.html
Miss Magoo and Mister 2. Tuesday, May 8, 2012. Today is a very special day in our house. Five years ago today, in Kunming, China, we were handed the most precious 16 month old baby girl! She wasn't too sure, as she was crying, about what was going on, being handed over to perfect strangers, but we held her and hugged her and loved her without stopping and we were in love! Do you want her? Do you want her? YES, we want her! How could we not? We have been blessed beyond words! Happy Gotcha Day Miss Magoo!

Monday, September 10, 2012. Jake, New Pics! The date says Sept 4th, 2012! This must be outside the orphanage. I remember seeing this little girl, his friend,. With him during his birthday party. And here's the last one of the group of pics. He's smiling a tiny bit. We also received his latest measurements and have determined that he's taller than Marta, but shorter than Shane. He weighs about the same as Marta or close to it. Thank you again to all of you who prayed for our yard sale this past Sat!
