Better Late Than Never ~ Our Updates!


Hi Everyone!

We are home again from visiting with family over the holidays! Our Christmas was amazing & watching the joy & magic of it through Lauren's eyes is always so breathtaking to witness! Both Scott & I feel blessed to have shared this special time with our families, and though I missed sharing in all the bloggy news, you were all in my thoughts and I hope your holidays brought the same joys!
Equally thrilling was the arrival of Tyler Pei-En's updates just prior to Christmas Eve, thanks to the herculean efforts of Joyce (JOH) who braved the terrible weather conditions of the NW so that we waiting families could glimpse our babies. What a present that was to our family and how grateful we are to her dedication. And though we would have LOVED to have him with us on Christmas morning, he was present in our hearts, minds and in the loving surprise gifts our families shared with us.....all tagged for our sweet boy! How fortunate we are to have such support from our families.

Soooo....without further comment, here is our little man in action! He is just over 4 1/2 months in these pictures/videos and is growing & changing every month! We just can't get enough of him and are hoping & praying our Final Ruling arrives soon and we can bring him home in January! We pray the other waiting families receive the very same news! Okay, off to check in on all of you & see the other beautiful babies!

What a beautiful baby boy; don't you just want to get your hands on those cheeks! I'm sure he could feel the love from all of your family all the way in Taiwan.

Tyler is a beautiful precious boy! I love his new pics and the video is adorable. We're convinced he's saving up his smiles for when Lexi licks his cheek for the first time, just like she did with Lauren. :)

Love & Hugs all around!

Lisa,

Thanks for viewing my blog-haven't updated it in a while - too much holiday happenings! Tis the season!
Your little boy is adorable and very handsome! A wonderful way to start the New Year would be with final rulings and travel dates ! My fingers are crossed for you, and toes too! Can't wait to hear of your good news!
Terry :-)

thanks for the tips on car toys! you always know the BEST toys!

QingLu Mama said...

Lisa, Thanks for the sweet and lovely comments you wrote on my blog! Your words always give me a smile and a boost! I had just logged Simone off Noggin and saw my new message, what a nice way to end the day! And I got a kick out of the "book" being written...too funny!
So posting a comment on your blog for me is two-fold, I have to be shorter in my verse, and I get to peek at the adorable pictures of Tyler! Have a great weekend.
