Wow! It has been a year since I posted....my how time flies! Catherine is celebrating her third year home with us, and our family continues to be blessed by our little China princess with the sweet (now toothless!) grin! Where do I begin to describe her joyful zest for life and her love for family that fills our home? She is constantly telling all of us how much she loves us and dancing around the house in anything pink, sparkly, or frilly that she can find! Recently she has lost several teeth giving her a very cute gap-toothed grin. Her favorite activities include dancing, singing, coloring and drawing, as well as keeping all of us in line...most especially her big brothers! We affectionately call her "mini-mommy" or "micro-mommy" as she is so good at micro-managing the affairs of the household :) Today has been a wonderful day of playing games and reading stories (she actually read to me which is very fun) and taking a nature walk together. Tonight we plan to have her favorite meal (rice congee) and then take a walk to the nearby yogurt shop for dessert.
On another note, Catherine has her yearly "tune-up" to lengthen the rod in her rib cage at Johns Hopkins Hospital this Friday. We covet your prayers for a safe, successful operation! This one should be a short stay in comparison to the last two, probably only a night or two in the hospital. Stay tuned to the blog for updates!
Finally, some wonderful Krol family news: we are adopting again! Our newest daughter, Lu Rui Yuan is 4 years old and waiting for us in China. If all goes well we should travel to China late July/early August to bring her home. I will be posting more about our new sweetie VERY soon! Catherine (and all her brothers) are looking forward to her homecoming!
God has blessed us so, so richly!
