Lindsey's first day of school was yesterday, Tuesday. She's a junior and this was taken after school. She's wearing the blouse she got from her Aunt Valerie for her birthday. She starts seminary today. She has four classes on her orange days and four different classes on her white days. On orange days, she has Math Modeling, Varsity Choir, English III, Spanish II. She liked everything so far. After family home evening on Monday night, Lindsey and Christopher got a special father's blessing the night before school started. It's a tradition that they love and look forward to.
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....
