Lily Then and Now

Being at the Nanjing Civil Affairs office this week brought back memories of when we hugged Lily for the first time. Hasn't she changed?

Awwwe! What a darling cuddle dumpling! And indeed, she is much more the little girl than the baby. It is hard to take in the speed of their growth. She certainly radiates the spirit of her happy parents!

Hope your Wednesday was one of rest and family time.

Amazing transformation! Not just the growth, but remembering how ill she was, how weak and without the happiness inside knowing she had a family that would care for her always....NOW those are BIG changes and they show too. Anna will have that transformation too, how perfectly wonderful!

Yap, what a difference!! There is nothing to compare with the love & care from Mom and Dad. Anna can grow just as fast as Lily in no time at all.
Anna, you are so lucky to have Pam and John as parents. I will translate for you when we meet. XOXO

We are so happy to find you!! We met you all in Guangzhou and having been praying for little Anna ever since! My sister lives in Redmond and we are Mei Mei's mom and dad. I am so glad we can follow your journey! I hope you all are well and possibly caught up on rest. We pray that all will go well with Anna's surgery and recuperation and for strength, patience, and faith for you and your husband! You all inspire us!!
