Nana Updates & CNY Festivities...

Quick Nana update...One of her serious infections is showing signs of clearing and the white cell count is headed in the right direction. She was more conscious today and was able to eat some food and engage in some conversation. Chris is now in Detroit after attending the CNY Festival with us. She's not out of the woods. I can't even begin to explain all her health issues. It's overwhelming, but it's sounding more encouraging. Prayers are always welcome and appreciated.

Here are a few of highlights of our Chinese New Year Celebrations. We've had lots of fun at our home and with our local adoptive community. You'll be happy to know that our small fireworks display didn't cause any avalanches with our snow banks.





Thank you for letting us share this special holiday with you.

XOXO
