Oh so beautiful…all THREE of you! I loved reading about your paparazzi fanfare arrival in Guilin. You handled it perfectly in my opinion! Praise the Lord for an uneventful bus trip! Yes, it IS the little things! Continuing to pray for all of you!
I recognize your pictures from the People's Park in Nanning. We stayed right around the corner at the Majestic. I LOVED that park. It was amazing how peaceful it was in the middle of the city.
So glad to check in and see the wonderful journey you're having! Your pictures, as usual are stunning and tell so much! Beautiful, beautiful family addition you have there;)
Asher is going to be a great dad someday! And I cannot tell you what a gift he is for that little girl! Imagine getting a mom, a dad, sisters, AND brothers all at once. Wow. The sweetness overflows! And to have an older brother like Asher … how cool! Thanks for the photos and updates–they are wonderful! And you do look smashing in all your photos! How do you do it and can you bottle it. I guess being a mom looks super good on you! ๐
Stefanie, I'm not sure I've ever commented on your blog, but I'm a long-time lurker (I'm pretty sure y'all moved to my neck of the woods this summer!). Every day, I can't wait to get to my computer to see pictures of sweet, gorgeous Vivi. She seems so happy with you and Asher. So, so, so happy for you. Melissa
I am so happy to see Vivi in your arms at last. It makes me yearn for Cai to be in my arms so badly. I know that it will happen in God's perfect timing. I too am looking forward every morning for another Vivi day!! Love, Kim
Lovely pictures!! Vivi is adorable and you looks so incredibly happy!!! congrats again. Glad to hear your bus trip was uneventfull. The throngs of people gathering around me will make me nervous too!! Eekk….
OK – that photo of Asher with Vivi is the most precious photo EVER!!! They will both cherish that until the end of time!!! And, you my dear look as beautiful as ever… What in the world is your secret?
Vivi looks like she is doing sooooooo amazing! I am so happy for you! God is so faithful!
Blessings, Diana *Who is tentatively traveling 2/19 or 2/26 at the latest!!
I'm just so drawn to these journeys! I think I figured out why. It's a picture of God and us. The parent has done so much to prepare for the little one. There's so much love involved there. It gets me every time!
Yeah!! Some photos with BOTH you and Asher in them! It's great to see smiles on everyone's faces. Vivi is such a cute little bug…and that 'ABC' video was over-the-top CUTENESS!! Looks like a great day! Pray'in it was!! ๐
The photo of Asher and Vivian blows me away. It has to be one of the most beautiful photos ever. The look of sheer contentment and peace on their faces is beyond words. What beauty!
Stephanie says
Such wonderful photos! Asher is quite the photographer I might add! She looks perfect in the arms of her Mom and big Brother!!

I can't get over her smile, she seems so comfortable with you already. It took several weeks to get a smile out of my daughter. How beautifully sweet.
