...And you may ask yourself
- What is that beautiful house? And you may ask yourself - Where does that highway go? And you may ask yourself - Am I right? ...am I wrong? And you may tell yourself - My God!...what have I done? (Talking Heads, 1980)

Nine years ago Mark and I set off on a journey. It was a journey that would embed the children of China into our hearts forever and teach us that God's plan is WAY better than our plan. It has been a journey into faith, obedience and abundant blessings. Over the past nine years we have seen God's hand at work in our lives as we traveled through the wilderness in search of His plan for our lives upon this earth. In April of this year God revealed the next chapter of the Lucas story. Join us as we embark once again on another leg in this Marvelous expedition.

Mikey Hams it Up

Here are some more pics from today.  Mikey is a big ham and loves to show off for everyone.  I think he and Zoe are going to be best buddies for sure. 

Today we went to the medical clinic and had his physical and shots done.  He had 5 shots and didn't cry.  He winced a little – but took them all like a champion.  

 

I don't really know how to describe how well he is doing.  He is beginning to test a couple of boundaries – but understands no and takes it all in stride.  He keeps wanting to call his foster sister  (whose paperwork will be ready in February {Andrea, hint hint}) so he picks up the phone and starts pushing buttons all the time.  A quick redirect is all it takes and he is on to something else.  The Leapster is a huge hit!  He loves that thing and wants to take it with him wherever he goes.  I am glad we remembered the headphones so we don't have to listen to it all the time.

 

We are doing great and can't wait for everyone back home to finally meet this amazing boy.

Janell,
We're so happy for you! Mikey just looks adorable and you can tell that he is a total ham. Sounds like he is very sharp too and that you're going to have a boy eating you out of house and home. Congrats to everyone and glad that it is going so well and smoothly and that your family has been made more complete by this extra little guy. Best wishes, Melanie
