My sister, Tracy, told me a few months ago that Evan Almighty was a good movie, plus I've heard that from a few others, so we watched it last night and both agreed. Typically if I sense any form of sacrilegious tones, I will not watch it, but this movie was not like that. It was similar to Noah and the ark storyline, set in current times with an overall positive message and a bit of make-believe sprinkled in for entertainment. There were a couple of unnecessary scenes of crudeness (the dog biting crotch, the personal grooming obsessiveness), but generally I had no other complaints. Kelly and I both liked this light-hearted movie and recommend it with a 4 rating on a scale of 1 to 5.
This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share. We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months. There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport. You have no idea. I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone. We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate. She's excited and nervous to go to America with us. She can say more than 100 words in English so far. Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig." She says it more like pig-uh. We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....
