American with Chinese characteristics


We've chosen to call her Josie, with her middle name being Mei. We're still deciding on the full name of Josie-- we could go 3 ways and probably won't decide for a little while. But her name is Josie, her middle name Mei, and if she wants, she can write it in Chinese. The word Meili is also a word for "beautiful" and the last part of that name, li, is part of my Chinese name; Kaili. So, in a way she is named after her mother, but through another language. But, she's made in China, and we're glad to be able to take someone back with us from China when we move back to the US this Summer. So, please pray for Josie and her parents as we continue down this very new road of preparing for a family and so many other transitions!

Josie Mei...that's beautiful! And you look beautiful. There's something so awe inspiring to me in pictures of expectant mothers. They capture a sense of anticipation like none other!

I'm headed to the island off of Hong Kong next week (where you and Dave went). I'm really looking forward to it!
