Whoo - hoo!

Well, we just got Abby's Certificate of Citizenship! I took the cutest picture of all the kids with Abby's Certificate to post, and then I noticed that on the Certificate it says in bright red - no photocopies or pictures may be made of this Certificate, punishable by U.S. law. Hm, guess I won't post that picture. :-) We had some friends over the other night that we met in Beijing - they also were there adopting through Holt. It was so great to see them and to see how things are going for them and their little girl, Rinnah. They are from lower Alabama - so, while we were in China, Tim was such a stress reliever with his great sense of humor during difficult times (for example, our bus accident on our way to our consulate appointment...he made us laugh so hard we were able to not think about the consequences of missing our appointment). :-) We are praying that little Rinnah's left eye will just be healed completely. After Tim and Jennifer took Rinnah into the opthamologist, they discovered that she is completely blind in her right eye and her left eye has significant damage. Please keep this sweet family in your prayers.
