I've been away from the computer for what seems like days. This afternoon I finally had a chance to catch up on email. To my surprise, one of the emails was from Pam at our agency with an update on Emmy Xiang.

She likes to play with all kinds of toys and likes dolls.
She likes "girly" things such as dresses and hair bows.
She likes to look at picture books, but sometimes she likes to tear the books.

God is so good to us! To know that she is healthy, cared for and growing is amazing. We ask that you join us in thanking God and continuing to intercede for Emmy Xiang.

Please pray that she will remain healthy and that she would find peace, comfort and joy in the new family she has waiting for her on the other side of the earth.

And one more request....please pray also that she would learn English soon, she would find joy in sharing with others and that she would not resist a new and much earlier-than-10 pm bedtime!

Oh how precious! She is so adorable. I can't wait to meet her. I am amazed at God's kindness to this little girl. She has no idea how blessed she is to be coming to be apart of your family!

WONDERFUL update! :) I was thinking "Tammy is NOT having a 10 pm bedtime for that little one" and sure enough you mention it as a request. What an example to me to pray about ALL matters! She is so stinkin' cute! :) Can't wait to welcome her into the CrossWay family! How blessed she is and your entire family will be by her! God is so good to give us relationships...even if they can get messy! :)
