we miss mommy!

As I type this, I think Leah is touring the Forbidden City in China. She left for China on Thursday and will be checking out sights there for a couple days before heading to meet around 80 orphans. She'll bring back pictures and knowledge of these kids that are living without a family to love them. Her hope is that other families back here will want to bring them into their own family.

No calls and no facebook, so we are left with only emails to communicate for a week. Crazy how disconnected I feel. How did couples do it before cell phones and the Internet?? All I have is an email that the first couple of days went well and this picture of her visiting the Great Wall yesterday. Cayla and I miss her terribly!!

On the Cayla front, she loves knocking things down. We build up a stack of blocks and she will army-crawl over to it and knock it over. She is quite the showman, as she has to make sure you've seen it and properly cheered for her. She makes her "oh!" face and looks right at you--adorable. She is also smiling and giggling so much more in the past few weeks--so much fun!

Hope to have some great China photos in the next blog!
