Life doesn't get much better than this.....


So here we are May 9th. In 1 month we will be at our "1 year ago today we started paperwork for mei mei" anniversary. And, we are about a year away from getting mei mei home. That's hard. Sure I know God's plan is best, and his timing is best. I wouldn't want anything besides His will. I know we will end up with the perfect daughter. I'm grateful we know there is a daughter at the end of this. It's just frustrating not knowing when. How long will this wait last? With a biological pregnancy you KNOW in 9 months you will have a baby...or someone is going in after it! We KNOW we're "pregnant" because we are logged in...we just don't know when we are going in after it! So anyway, it's just hard right now because a year ago we thought we'd be seeing her picture about now. Please keep praying for her...
BUT....the wait is so much easier with Sarah here to keep me company. She's so incredibly sweet. And growing like a weed!! She is 36" tall now. And so smart. Yesterday she started tracing letters...and is hooked! She is always asking to trace letters now. It's as if she knows she's just steps away from writing! :) She goes to the refrigerator and gets her sippy cup out all by herself and even puts it away sometimes! She rides her bike like she's been doing it all her life. And talking all the time!! She will thank you for everything! She loves playing outside with her play-doh, chalk, and bubbles. And I am teaching her to garden (which is really the blind leading the blind), and the names of flowers. We water in the morning and she's just now starting to understand what we are doing, but it is so cute to see her looking at the plants like she knows she should be doing something but not sure what. We will plant our veggies after her nap today. I'm just in awe that the Lord has loaned her to us....Thank you Jesus.
Sarah, I love you sweetie....with all my heart.

I can't believe how Sarah's growing. She's so beautiful!! Tell her Joel wants to see her soon. Dale

It's nice to be able to watch Sarah grow even it it has to be on your blog. Thanks for keeping those of us so distant up to date. What a beautiful family.
