Pretty

 One of the English words that Mia's has learned is "pretty". She says it when she fixes her hair and looks in the mirror or when she puts on something new. I think these pictures show our very "pretty" girl.



 

 

 

 

 
Mia passed her TB test! We are counting down the days. As I write this it is Tuesday afternoon here. That means we only have two days (Wednesday and Thursday) left here. Friday morning we leave early to begin the long ride home. I'll post our flight info later. Please pray for all of our family. Mia has come a very long way getting used to us as parents, but she still has far to go. We, as her parents, are also learning more every day about what she needs. Our children back home will also have a lot of transitioning to do once their long awaited sister is home. We are grateful for your prayers thus far as we know they have made such a difference. Please do continue to pray in the days and weeks ahead.

Hello you guys, hope that you are doing well. I am with Michele right now and she is showing me how to send you a message. I promise I have been thinking about you and I thought that I have emailed you but apparently I was not doing something right so Michele is showing me now. I really miss you here at school and I for sure have remembered you in prayer each day. I hope that your flight home will be a "fast" one.

Love you and see you soon, sue

What pretty pictures! She looks amazing in that hot pink.

I am so jealous that you are somewhere where you can go barefooted!

Oh Jennifer, the precious spunk in Mia! She is so adorable in those pictures!
I am praying continually ~ I'm sure that it is hard to make her fully understand that when you get home there will be four others wanting/needing your attention as well. And I'll be praying for your endurance as you meet those needs while you are "dog tired" from your return!
Can't wait to meet your little sweetie!

Thank you Mrs. Barbee for Skyping in this morning. We loved talking to you and Bobby and meeting Mia. Her songs were beautiful! We miss you and hope you have a safe trip back home. Maybe you can bring Mia to meet us or maybe skype again from home. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! We all love you.

Your class

I talked Jennifer's mom this morning and she told me Mia passed her TB test. So glad you won't have any extra delay and testing. The pictures are adorable. Thanks for all you have taken time to do to keep us informed. We will keep praying. Love, the Womacks

Jennifer -
These pictures do show you very "pretty" girl. Love the pictures.
We will continue to pray for the rest of your trip, safe travels home, and the transition for everyone once you arrive home.
Sending prayers and blessings.

Very pretty. You can tell she has a great personality just by looking at her face. Been thinking about you all and praying for you. I'm thankful that you all had this time together in China to help with the transition.
