Our pool is progressing quite nicely and today there's a crew of stoners here, and I'm so thrilled about every step that gets me closer to dipping my toes into the sparkling water. Right now they're adding flagstone to the outside edges of the spa and pool. Like the previous post, I'll be sure to add more pics and details later. Just wanted to give a sneak peak for what's happening.
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....
