Cai's a good eater!

 

It's official. Cai's a US citizen!

On Thursday we received Cai's Certificate of Citizenship in the good old USA! I'm proud that this country gives opportunities to orphans and anyone for that matter, more than anywhere else in the world. Plus, I support our troups and the amazing job they're doing for this country! God Bless America!

Auntie loves her new little niece!

 

Gotta hold on to daddy!

 

Rashel and Renae did a great job of hosting the shower!

 

Here's my cousin that's responsible for getting us together!

 

How can you pass up a face like this!

 

I'll help you mommy!

 

Our Chinese welcome from the kids

 

Mommy and Cai

She did so well travelling! 

Home from China!

Here we are finally home in the great USA! 

We leave tomorrow for China!

As you can see we're down to final packing and Todd is oblivious to what a huge task this is for Lorlyn. Of course, I'm in charge of tickets, video gear, cameras, etc.. Needless to say we're very excited. Make sure you follow our journey, starting Sunday at http://www.brandenburgs.org/MULAN.htm 

I just love these expressions!

 

B-Day's are fun!

Of course we had to enjoy choculate cake and ice cream! 

It's Kaelan Birthday today!

We had his b-day party early this year so he could enjoy it before we take off. 

Our "angels" of Christmas Eve.. :)

 

Gramma Joice was reading a story to Kaelan
