Missing Mei Mei

Mei Mei in her awesome chicken suit!

I had some strange idea that summer would be a time of rest.

Not with this crew! 2 family reunions in 3 weeks, church camp, CIY and the paper chase for our newest kiddo! For now,we are calling her Mei Mei. That is the Chinese name for little sister.

But, it is great. The kids are having a great summer and as usual, it is going by so fast. Despite the wild ride, I am finding myself in a familiar place. I am really missing my new little girl.

I can not wait to see her in person, hold her, kiss that face and bring her home. I look at the clock periodically during the day, trying to imagine what she might be doing. Who loved on her when she woke up this morning? What did she do today? And I pray that she is happy and healthy. I ask God to watch over her and to pour His love out onto her until I can do it in person.

I know He will. I know He loves her more then I can imagine. So, I do my best to rest in that and keep going on this mountain of paper work to bring my baby home.

Hope all is going well.

Love,
Claire
