Three in a twin

I cannot remember the last time Cherish slept in her own bed. Tonight, I found Daniel, Cherish, and Samuel all snuggled up in a twin bed.

Cherish loves her brothers, and they adore her!

All the children are asleep, and yet there is an empty bouble bed in the boys' room tonight. Why spread out when you can sleep closer in a twin?

Henan Province Donations

"Henan Province is one of the largest and poorest areas within China" (CCAI), and so far, three families have donated 62 long-sleeve onesies, 56 hats, 20 pairs of socks, 5 sets of pajamas, 6 bibs, 1 pair of shoes, along with various other pieces of clothing for the orphans living in Henan Province. We still have room in our suitcase for more winter donations--if you would like to join in caring for orphans. Derek leaves in about 14 days.

Thank you, Families, who donated!!!!!

Happy Gotcha Day Anniversary, Andrew!

6 years ago, a precious little bundle was placed into my arms and melted into my heart. Andrew stopped breathing twice on "Gotcha Day" night, and God allowed me to be his resuscitator. We bonded immediately. Thank You, LORD, for the gift of such a tender, sweet, gentle soul!

Birthday Week!

It's their birthday week! You will find these two almost always together. They are just about inseparable! Happy 11th Birthday to Cherish, and Happy 3rd Birthday to Samuel!
