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....

I can imagine how you feel. But I agree with Lonna, Lindsey is smart. Hopefully she will encourage Sam to choose a college based on what's right for him, not on where she's at. After all, after next year, she may not even be in Texas.
I didn't date AT ALL in high school. There's plenty of time for her in college to meet other guys.
That being said, I do think serious dating in high school is silly, because it almost never lasts forever, and it can prevent other good experiences with other people, so I'm totally with you on that.
Ah, it is hard to be a parent.
She looks beautiful, no wonder he likes her!
I read your blog in Net/Web Design frequently. And I understand how you feel...but you know, I will date around if I get asked. I never decline unless I have previous plans and then If I do, I try and plan another time.
And thank you Sis. B. and Sis. T. =]
I have definately been encouraging him to go to a good school for HIM and it just so happens that that is in Texas. Not because o me mom. And every stake dance I tell him to ask other girls to dance...etc. I want him to get around too.
I know you just care about me and are scared. But please don't make this any harder on me than it already is. I still love you though, don't worry. And yes, thank you for taking such good care of me mom.
-Love, Lindsey-
Don't worry about the kid. She will have some dashing prince charming come along and sweep her away in due time.
