Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. -Isaiah 43:5

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.

Emma's First Christmas Decorations & Presents

Emma has told us repeatedly that she likes Christmas Lights.
Whenever we were out with Emma after dark since Thanksgiving, she seems to find every house that is decked out with Christmas Lights she repeats over and over again, "Li Li Li Li Li Li Li. " So we felt obligated to put out our lights, which we haven't done for a few years.

She also loves the lights on the Christmas tree. She gets really excited when we go over and turn them on. She likes to touch them as you can see. So far she has left the rest of the decorations on tree alone.

Our friends the Murphy's and their adopted Chinese daughters Lilly, Lydia, and Laci sent Emma her first Christmas present. Luckily for Emma, Nita wrote on the front to open it right away. Emma says "Thank You" Nita!!
