Pictures!

Tammy just sent me these pictures to post. The captions are all mine, gleaned from e-mails and conversations with Sky and Olivia and Gray. That means the errors are all mine, too. Enjoy!



Looks like they have already gotten the "Asian peace sign in photos" down.



Whoever thought therapy could be so much fun?


This lools like the breakfast at the hotel. I can tell by the mounds of watermelon on Tammy's plate - a staple from her first trip there.








The necklace you see in this picture and others is the necklace Tam and David sent Mei Lynn in the care package they were able to send her when they found out they had been approved to adopt her.


No explanation needed.


Here they found out she has eaten fries. She scraped ketchup off her cheeseburger with them until David opened the packets. I guess that is one food they can count on.



Tam told Olivia that the first time she was really excited about something was when David bought her this doll that she (somehow) asked for. She was hugging and kissing the box. Another connection to American kids...




I don't know any more, but keep praying for all of them. I know that D,T & B do not take the body of Christ or its power and encouragement lightly. I believe that when they come back we will hear story after story about how God stepped in. Thanks, Wendy for the Rills

Ah, technology! How wonderful to have the photos to bolster us. One could keep looking and looking at them. Seeing the happy faces reminds me that God will wipe away all the tears. God is good!
