The Way We Roll

Over the long weekend we've taken the time to do some extra reading in our Bibles, catch up on some other reading, play some games, hike in the woods, mountain bike, use our Christmas gift cards to Academy and Michael's from Granny and Pawpaw, cook up some homemade ice cream, juice our lemon crop, make homemade baby wipes and detergent, have dinner around the fire pit, celebrate my sister Suzanne's birthday and watch some Wild China documentary films on Netflix. We've really enjoyed spending time with each other and our families.

We also asked the adoption agency if they could ask the orphanage in Shanghai for some additional medical information on Liu Qingnan. We're still waiting on some information but we were able to get updated measurements--height 126cm, weight 24kg, head 50cm, chest 71cm--and a couple of new pictures!

We love her! She's such a ham for the camera, and isn't the one where she forms her arms into a heart just precious? Apparently she is a few inches shorter than Luke but half his weight! LOL Chinese children often look larger in pictures than they really are because they wear multiple layers of clothing, especially babies. I remember when we adopted Katie she was wearing at least four outfits, complete with split pants (my China friends can tell you all about split pants and the purpose for them).

 We pray you all are enjoying the good company of family and friends both near and far this new year. To God be the glory!
