kidding around

Here is Jane…our newest addition to the family! Jack and Sam’s sister, John and Susan’s daughter, Ellie, Si &Penny’s cousin and all of ours to adore!

I was able to visit my sister without my 3 kidlets. It just so happened that my brother-in-law had plans to take the boys to Michigan for the weekend. So- it was just the girls! I can’t remember the last time my sister and I have been able to hang out without disruption. I was glad to see the boys before they left and I was even happier that I had Jane to myself! Heh Heh Heh! The little time I had with Jack and Sam they poured all of their affection on her…they adore her!

My sister Susan with Jane Lu. I was able to see photos of her visit to China. Susan and her father-in-law visited the orphanage Jane had lived in and the actual spot she was left for someone to find! The details are heartbreaking…we are so fortunate to have this babe! To learn about this situation in China I highly recommend the book The Lost Daughters of China or the DVD from National Geopgraphic,(you can find on Netflix) The Lost Girls of China.

Me with Lu! I loved hopping on a plane and not sift through the traffic and constuction around Chicago. I love to people watch and the airport is the perfect place! i was also able to make good headway on my current book club selection, To Sleep with Angels.
