"The greeting cards have all been sent..."

Well, maybe not ALL of them. But at least a big chunk of my Christmas cards were sent out in the past two days. At least anyone who sent me one already, got one sent out. Now I'm working on gathering addresses for a few who didn't send me a card. I had a lot of fun making them this year, and worked on them while I was in Colorado. I love getting cards in the mail! It's the best kind of mail there is. Fun mail is welcome ANY time of year, so thank you to each of you who sent me and the family a card this holiday season! I treasure opening each of them and here's something strange to know about me...I don't throw them away, but keep them for YEARS! I keep them all bunched up together by year, and sometimes I have fun going through old ones. If you are reading this post and didn't get a card from me and would like for me to send you one, email me and I'll be happy to. (But if you already mailed a card to us this year, yours is en route.) Happy new year!

Somehow I read the cookie exchange post and then missed all the next posts until today! A belated Happy New Year to you! How is Lindsay's surgery site doing? Sherm has one of those pencil tattoos on his chest from 50 years ago! The Christmas gathering looked like tons of fun--how cool is that to live on a lake? And to have all the family together?! It's wonderful to see the way your family has embraced adoption and blessed so many childrens' lives.
I enjoyed all the pics and descriptions of your exciting holidays. Your photo of DIA is beautiful!!! We lived in Aurora for 5 years, near the airport site.

Bobbi, I cannot tell you how many people have told me that about having a pencil tattoo from year ago! I had no idea and am really glad I took Lindsey in to get it removed from her forehead. She's doing fine. I will take a picture of it soon so everyone can see it.

Yes, we had a fun trip. I can't wait until I have time to catch up on everyone else's blogs, as I'm WAY behind.

Way to go Kelly! I am the worst at sending Christmas cards because I want to make each one personal; the task seems so overwhelming that I often don't even get started. Good work.

As always it looks like they are amazing. I am sure that you put a lot of thought into each one. I love the color scheme that you used. And your family photo is beautiful. I was so glad to see you today. You look great. I am glad that you had a fun trip.

Kelly, I loved your card! And the quote in there. It's one of my favorites. You and I have something in common, I keep past Christmas cards too! I love looking over them every year when I take out my decorations. :)

Love,
Kelly

I LOVED your Christmas Card- thanks so much!! You always make such CUTE cards. I have been using my past card camp cards here in CS and now they're asking ME to teach a card making class for the next HFI night- HELP!! I'm totally going to need your input on this one, and maybe some of your supplies if you could spare them for a week or two.
I've loved all your other posts and your holidays have sounded and looked so fun! Your in-laws have a very cool set up and I'm sure it was so nice to have so much family around, and probably a little chaotic at times too- I know all about that. I'll be calling you soon.

It's my birthday!

Here's a cute little picture of me in kindergarten, 1968. All my life, I've never forgotten this shot below in first grade (1969) when the photog asked me to say "peaches" and he snapped the shot at the "ch" sound. If you're trying to get a kid to smile, don't tell them to say peaches. It's scarred me for life. Mom, what the heck happened to my hair? Did I fix it myself? After all, I was in second grade and very capable. My grandma crocheted that groovy vest for me, but who is responsible for the hack job on my hair? Hello, 1970! Who knows where my third grade picture is. We moved so often, changing schools, that I might have missed picture day. Next is my fourth grade mug shot. I must have sworn off bangs by then. Thank goodness for those plastic barrettes to deal with the in-between length. Notice how every year I wore green? Yeah, it's been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. I don't have an actual school pic of me in f...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

Our new daughter!

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....
