Brief Update and Request

The internet is a little spotty here in the Great White North. Well, not really just at our current abode so to speak. I will work on adding pics once we return to Lynchburg.

Sometimes I feel like a broken record when I continue to ask for prayers for the Chapman family. SCC is scheduled to return to touring and concerts on July 11th, in just a few short days. I beg you to pray without ceasing especially in the next few days.

A day (hour sometimes even a minute) does not go by that I don't think of them.

Swimming

Lily and Daddy went swimming in Blake and Makayla's pool today. Lily is turning into quite the little fish! Blake and Makayla are Grandma and Grandpa Woof's surrogate grandkids :)

Check out his manager's blog. He has posted several times in the last couple of days. Continue in your prayers!

Petting Zoo/Farm

Today and tomorrow we are visiting with Steve's brother's family (Mark, Janet, Hailey, and soon-to-be #2) in Connecticut. We had a very nice relaxing morning and then headed out to a local farm/petting zoo. I am LOVING our new camera. We are able to get much better pics, much faster! In fact, I took about 50 pics (most of them pretty good on the first try) in less than an hour. With the old camera, that would have been impossible!

Prayers please!

I don't want to share too much due to the situation, but please pray for a sister in Christ I am calling "Lottie." She needs peace, direction, safety, and provision for her and her family.

Hallie finally decided to join the picture

We had the privilege of taking our first rest stop at the home of Hannah. Hallie's mom brought Hallie over for the visit. Hannah and Hallie both live in Winchester, VA about three hours from us. Hannah and Hallie's parents Bethany as their adoption agency. All three girls are from Guangdong province, but different orphanages.

I believe Hannah's orphanage is only about an hour from Lily's former home! All three girls, while they don't look that much alike, have the characteristically round faces and round eyes of the southern Chinese.

I have always known Lily was our "Petite Princess." What I found interesting is that all three girls are of Chinese descent and Lily still looks quite small! Hallie is going to be three in a couple months, but Hannah is only about 3 months older than Lily.

Two random facts - 1. Lily just had a growth spurt and grew about 1/2 of an inch in the last month! 2. Lily's two girl cousins are named Hailey and Hannah!

Potholders and Bibs

Lily decided to use the potholder as a bib. Who knew that you could have so much fun with a potholder! I wish I could've gotten a little better picture of it!
