4 Months ago today Yue Meng Ru became ours forever!!!!!

What a blessing this little girl has been to our family. Just four short months ago, we held our second precious daughter for the first time in the Jiangxi Province of China! God taught us a lot of invaluable lessons while we waited for Ruby Mei. Most of all He taught us about faith and unconditional love. We are beyond grateful that we were called to the journey of international adoption.

Enjoy!

Gorgeous Diana! I cried and my goosebumps had goosebumps! It is so funny that you e-mailed me this today becaue I am working on Kate's too (right now). But I am practicing first on a "summer fun" video because I think I'll make a lot of mistakes on my first one:) You however, did an INCREDIBLE job! Did you use Windows Movie maker?

I love this:) have a great weekend.

PS Kate is having major anxiety sleeping again:( We should talk.

Your video turned out beautiful!!! You should be very proud of a job well done.

I have a stack of little tapes that I need to learn how to transfer to DVD. Making Lindy's Gotcha Day video is on my very long to-do list.

Congratulations on four months with your ruby, Ruby Mei.

Lots of love,
Lisa

Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous!! Ruby Mei looks like she fell right into your arms (and your hearts) from the very beginning! I love how you mentioned that you are grateful you were called to the journey of international adoption. What a blessing! Many are called to different things, but few actually answer that call! You have such a touching story and are such an inspiration!

Diana, this is so beautiful and made me cry. I can only imagine how it must feel to be so close to your baby and wanting nothing more than holding her! What must be going on in her little heart at that moment....
Thank you for sharing such a special moment. :D
