One Amazing Girl....

Thought you might want to see our amazing girl in action. She has been so determined lately to learn to tie her shoes, inspired to keep up with her sister. The pride on her face is such a joy to witness. I'm sure you'll see what I mean....

Dw & most of the kids watched it with me - over and over!! Your baby girl is adorable and obviously very talented!! Way to go sweetie - way to go!!

A friend recently was shocked that Isaiah learned to tie his shoes some time ago. She also has a 5 year old. Dw said after watching Jaelyn (don't show her)....yeah, no kidding huh?

Way to live way behind any obstacles Jaelyn! Way to rock and roll!! We cheer with you!!

And thank you Toni for sharing the moment with us!! What a blessing!! Much love from NY! xo

That has to be one of the most inspiring, touching, neat videos I've ever seen. Way to go, sweet girl!!

I just noticed that you have The Morning Star Project on your blog. I know Lynsay--do you know her, or was your little girl at Hope Healing Home? I have two little girls from Hope, (so I'm not stalking you! :).

I have a 4 and a half year old boy from China whose arm is exactly like your beautiful daughter's arm. I can't wait to show him this. Her sweet determination and amazing joy at a job well done made me cry. Thank you so much for sharing this through the Yahoo group. Many blessings,
Tracy

Karin, my girls are not from Hope. I met Lynsay online one evening when I ended up at her blog (you know how you can start off at one site and end up at a completely different place?). We are both from Oregon (I'm in WA now) and share our passion for the orphans, so have corresponded with her for sometime now. We tried to meet up with her last summer when we were in Beijing, but it was when they had to fly home to straighten out their visas. We're hoping maybe we can meet next summer in Beijing....and don't worry, I don't think you're a stalker:)
