Family of 3

Our long awaited journey to become parents finally arrived and we are officially Mommie and Daddie. I expected to cry a lot, but I guess with all the crying I did the past 4 months..there wasn't much left..not to say I didn't cry, but it wasn't rivers. Thank goodness because I didn't want to have ugly pictures of me on this special day forever in Yu-Lin's scrapbook. But despite the lack of rivers, it was a very emotional day..the ride to Feng Yuan was silet as nerves were getting the best of us...and it seemed like we would never get there! But we did and finally have a son! Here are a few pictures of our day. We are experiencing blogger problems this evening so hopefully it is resolved soon and we can upload more pictures so check back later today.

Thanks everyone for your prayers for us and especially Yu-Lin. He was in such a good mood despite the fact he got the flu two days ago. He even reached out for me to carry him. We thank you Lord for answering our prayers again! Ok, enough rambling..here are the pictures:
