Meet Macy Li

WE ARE IN LOVE!!!!!!! OVER THE MOON!!!!!! SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!





What? Y'all think she HAS to be the most beautiful little baby girl in all of China?!?!?!?!?! Oh, that's exactly what we're thinking, too! ;) Just look at those cheeks and lips! Sooooo yummy! We can not wait to smooch on 'em!!!!!!!!!!!! And we can't wait to put a smile on that little cherub face!


PSALM 139:13-16

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

She is so beautiful. As soon as I saw the sweater, I knew that your daughter came from the same SWI as our Lilly. The Jianxin girls rock.

Congratulations!!!! I found you from RQ's list. I also am one of Danielle's customers!!! Your new daughter is absolutely precious! I love the name you have chosen for her. Any chance you live in Brentwood, TN? It looks like our old neighborhood from your door step!!! Anyway, enjoy this incredible time. We were in China last May bringing home our precious Ruby Mei! God will show you that your wait has been worth it!
Blessings for quick travel so you can bring precious Maci home!!!

Ronda & Mike & guys,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I was exactly where you are 22 months ago when our family of five (mom, dad & three big boys) received the referral of our beautiful daughter from China. We made the trip as a family and had the most incredible time. My three teen sons are SO in love with their little sister, and are so gentle and loving with her, it's heartwarming and wonderful.

I know your boys will adore Macy Li just as much. I don't know if it's in your plans or in your budget, but I would HIGHLY recommend them accompanying you on your trip to China -- what an amazing experience it is for these American kids to experience the shock, beauty and culture of China. The trip bonded my three boys with our Katie so incredibly tightly.

As it stands, one little princess just isn't enough (poor Katie gets fought over by her big brothers) so we leave for China in just 9 days to bring home sister Elizabeth...

Don't be surprised if there is a mei mei to Macy Li out there in your future!

God bless your family. You are on the ride of a lifetime!

Truly Blessed (from RQ's forum -- our adoption website is http://www.youbelong.net/trulyblessed )

Hi Rhonda, I saw you on the list of bloggers on my SIL's (Tracy Brothers)blog. I just wanted to congratulate you on your beautiful new baby girl. I think this is a wonderful thing that you and your family are doing. God Bless.

Rhonda -

She is so adorable! Her cheeks are just begging to be nibbled!! My three girls were just wondering why I was crying over a picture of the FedEx man. After seeing Macy's picture, I think they got it.

Thanks for updating us with all the pictures.
