I think Lucy is saying, "Get the door shut, it's cold!"

our "chinese baby" is what the lovebugs call her

Here she is Xi Han... we will call her Lucy Leigh.  This pic was in April, now she is 9 months old.  Fed ex package supposed to come tomorrow, we hope with more pic's.  We are in LOVE.

My brother is coming, my brother is coming...

It has been over six months since I have seen my little brother and I just can't wait.  He has moved from London, which seemed kind of far away, to Hong Kong which seems really far away.  But tomorrow, he will be back to the great plains of the U.S. and I can't wait. 

that's what daddy's do 

I'm not exactly sure why I find this photo so touching.  I am lucky to have a daddy for my little lovebugs, who not only makes grand gestures, but also simple nudges. 

"mommy & daddy"

Our skype session was fantastic.  We started late due to internet issues on their end.  The boys were so tired but wanted us to wake them when Jyun Kai called.

Within a few minutes he was calling Adam & I, mommy & daddy...my heart melted.  He is so excited to have brothers.  I can tell he wants to get to know them. 

After one lovebug showed him his yo yo and the other lovebug chatted, we had to say good bye.  But seeing him more and more makes me anxious to make him our own.
