Christmas has always held special meaning for me- a time for embracing hope, keeping traditions and making memories. Seeing Christmas through my daughter's eyes has brought new found joy. Nothing compares to witnessing the delight in a child's face, as they first discover the miracle of Christmas.
She is experiencing the colors of life for the first time! Yi Mei is such a beautiful girl! She has a determined spirit she has had to protect, but now she is with her Mama...and she will learn trust, love, hope, and protection among so many other things. I love seeing her change and relax and learn the joy of having a Mama and a God who loves her. I am glad you are still posting. You guys are still in my prayers and maybe one of these days we can get together!
