Just some thoughts...

Alyssa & her friend Emma, in their matching PJs!

We found out our contact in China received the wire for the snowsuits! The ophanage should have the snowsuits next week! We are also waiting to hear back from the Director of Alyssa's orphanage about more items the children need so we can find out what our next project will be.

I found out two REALLY exciting bits of news this past week but I can't quite share it yet. Both bits of news have to do with Alyssa's orphanage and helping the children there. People have been so supportive and kind - we've had lots of emails from familes who also adopted children from Alyssa's orphanage and of course, they are thrilled to help in any way. As soon as I know it's okay to share our good news ~ no, we are not adopting again :-( ~ I'll post it!

Chris and I talked the other night and we agreed we are definitely starting to plan a trip back to Yongzhou with Alyssa, Caleb and Dylan. We are planning to go next Spring if all goes well with our savings account - ha ha!! Seriously, though, we are so excited to start planning this and eventually be able to visit Alyssa's orphanage and be with the children still living there!

Our friends, Catherine and Kevin left yesterday for China to finally adopt their new daughter, Roshandra. You can follow their journey at www.thestoryofyou.com They are from Prince Edward Island, too.

Our friends, Marvin and Carolyn are leaving today for China to finally adopt their daughter, Kennedy! You can follow them at www.bringingkennedyhome.blogspot.com (also from PEI)

What an exciting time for them!

With an excited heart (and a bit of jealousy!),
