Hope Update

This week we received an update on Hope! We were so excited to know more about her! In the updated picture of Hope, she is wearing the first dress we sent her. It is size 3. Thus, we are planning to pack size 4 clothing when we go to Ch*na to get her in October.

The update on Hope included stats:

She is 4-years-old and is about 1 inch taller than our 3-year-old son, Andrew. She weighs about 7½ pounds more than Andrew, and her feet are only about ½ an inch longer than Andrew's. She also has 20 teeth--the same as Andrew. (I love being able to compare, so I can visualize what she might look like next to her brother.)

I'll admit: We can hardly wait to get our arms around this little ball of sweetness!

Speaking of holding this little, sweet girl, we have some friends who went to visit their children yesterday. While they were at Hope's foster home visiting their children, they held Hope and took pictures of her. Here are some of the pictures they took:

We are grateful beyond comprehension for the kindness of these parents who went and cared to take pictures for us! And we are ever so grateful for the foster home director who invited these two families to visit and to take pictures!

We are overflowing with THANKFULNESS!

Thank You, Jesus, for caring about these little ones!
