Look at sweet Alana!!



Here is Alana. She had an accident and caused a hole to be in her head, so they had to glue it. The Dr's said it couldn't get wet, so when she started to sweat, we had to put her hair up. It is looking really good now and should heal up nicely. She can't wait for Olivia to come. She has her picture in her room in a frame that she made at VBS. Everytime I go to her house, she asks about Olivia and tells me what she is going to teach her. She says that she is Olivia's pretend big sister and that is just fine with me. I know that her and Olivia will be the best of friends. I can't wait for her to see Olivia for the first time...it's going to be so cool. I don't know if our small town can take TWO beautiful little Chinese beauties!! :) Just kidding...but they are both beautiful!! Until later!!! Blessings!

Okay, so what do you think????





A family that went to the Chen Zhou orphanage in June, sent pictures to our group to see if we could see our babies in any of them...well, I found this picture (the one in the middle.) I sent it to Meme, Nana, Heather, Julie and Lana and all but Meme says that it is DEFINATELY Olivia. I was just wondering what you thought. There are alot of similarities, so in my gut, I think it's her. She is sooo beautiful if it is, well, even if it's not!! :) It would be so awesome to have a picture of her just 2 months before we go and get her. I have written the lady that took the pictures and she is going to send more pictures to me to see if I can spot her. I hope there are some of her whole body, I would love to see how long she is. This is truly a blessing and I can't thank J enough for this opportunity! God continues to bless us with things for this little girl. I know it's just a representation of what is to come!
Thank you God for Olivia. Thank you for all the things that I prayed and they came to pass and thank you for people like "J" who were given the opportunity to see this orphanage and then bless us with pictures. Keep Olivia under your protection until we can get to her and keep us safe also. Let her feel we are coming and when the time comes, let her have a peace about us, knowing she is going to be loved more than words can say. Let the 5 weeks seem short, but let us enjoy every minute of the blessing you give us called life!! In YOUR name we pray!
Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!!! :)
