Owen's 1st Birthday!!!

It doesn't seem possible but little Baby Owen is now officially a big boy. It's going to be difficult not saying "Baby Owen" anymore. We had a wonderful time visiting my family this week in Louisville and we made it home in time to have a little cake to celebrate. Look at that sweet face!!! This past year has been an absolute dream come true for us. Never in a million years could I have ever thought that this would be our life. We are so incredibly lucky and feel so blessed by all of the amazing gifts that have been sent our way. Happy Birthday Owen! We love you so much!!!

She's so stinkin' cute!!!

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch, or tangle, but will never break.

-An Ancient Chinese Belief

Her name is: Yan Chen Lin
Translation: Colorful and Gorgeous Morning!!

Hunan Province - a spicy girl!!
Linxiang orphanage
She's 25" and 14 lbs.
She can crawl, she doesn't have any teeth but loves to smile
She laughs out loud, knows her name and loves music!!!
We are OVER THE MOON!!!!


Now we need to pick a name!!!

Baby Owen - Get Ready!!!

Very soon little man - you are going to have a little playmate! We can't wait to see if you're going to be the big brother or the little brother!

Tommorrow...

Is is very possible that tommorrow we will receive yet another call that will completely change the course of our lives! We are hoping to hear from our China adoption agency sometime in the morning. We will find out all about the baby girl that we've been dreaming of! We will know her name, how old she is, etc. I can't believe it! I have thought about this moment for so long. It doesn't seem possible that it is actually happening. Get ready little Owen - you're about to get a sister!

Could be soon...
