Our Girl Grace

First. I would like to thank all of you who have been keeping our Pastor Fr. Bob in your prayers. We truly know that prayer is powerful and miracles do happen. Many of you have asked for an update on how he is doing. I am thrilled to report that Fr. Bob is back to work, not full time yet, but he is doing two of our three weekend masses. He is receiving chemotherapy every other week. He is getting stronger each week, we can hear it in his voice. It is so good to hear him singing again. Fr. Bob told me that he was able to put back on some of the weight he lost. He is still thin. We feel so blessed to have him with us. It is truly a miracle that he was able to survive his hospital stay and to be with us today. We are in awe of our God who allows him to stand before us on the altar… Please continue to keep him in your daily prayers, his journey to recovery is far from over and he will continue to need us to support him. Thank you to everyone! God Bless you.

Last week Paul and I both had a dream on the exact same night about our daughter, and in each of our dreams there were three babies. NO we arent’ getting triplets. Paul remembers seeing the first two and then knew the third baby was our daughter and she was just perfect. There were three babies in my dream and the third was our daughter. I remember the dream also involved the month of October. Who knows maybe our daughter was born on this date in February or maybe she has an October birthday. This was the first dream Paul has had about our daughter in China and how coincidental that I would have a dream the very same night and they would both involve three babies.

Grace received these two wonderful books from Grandma Fran for Valentine’s Day! We can’t wait to get her home and to be able to read them to her. Thank you!

This lovely little Ladybug outfit was a gift for Grace from Miss June for Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year! She is going to be the best dressed little girl. Thank you!

And finally, Grace’s Daddy bought these Valentine’s Day gifts! The swimsuit is too cute! She is certainly going to be our little lovebug!

Today marks the start of the 15 day Chinese New Year celebration. It is the year of the Rat!! Best wishes to all who have already brought home their China Blessings and to those who are still waiting! Enjoy the New Year and may it be filled with much love and happiness!!
