God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Lilly's Life in the Orphanage

We were not able to visit Lilly's orphanage when we were in China.  Kunshan, the town the orphanage was in, was three hours away from Nanjing.  We didn't think our first day with Lilly should be spent sitting for six hours in the van.  We were able to meet two of her care-givers and ask them questions.  We actually spent two days with them, so we were able to ask them more questions the second day after having Lilly for one night.  We have had a glimpse into what life was like for Lilly through pictures.  We sent a disposable camera in her care package and just got it developed.  We think Lilly was well liked!  She seems to have had many friends of various ages at the orphanage.  Here are some of the pictures they took of Lilly for us -
Lilly is looking at our pictures in her crib.


Kunshan is a wealthy city.  We are pretty impressed with the amount of play equipment available to the kids.






There were several pictures of Lilly with these three older kids.

There were also a great deal of pictures of Lilly is this walker.  This helps explain why her muscles are so weak.
