July 2009 UPDATE: Caleb is quite possibly the cutest 4 year old Chinese boy ever. Really. This is truth. Granted, this IS his mom speaking...but I will say that others have confirmed this as well!
At the time I began this blog, the following was about all we knew of Caleb. I'm happy to say that we know much, much more about him now. We are growing more and more in love with him each day.
Caleb is a three year old boy living in an orphanage in Chengdu, China. He was abandoned at a temple when he was three days old. He has a repaired cleft lip and palate and has never known the love of a family or the name of Jesus. We are waiting for the day we can bring him into our home. He already has a place in our hearts.
Psalm 139:15-16 "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, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
I have been married for 16 years and my husband still makes me laugh every day. He spends his days working as a physical therapist but would really love to hang out at home with the rest of us all day. We have four children and one waiting for us in China. My kids are either making me laugh our making me crazy-o. My goal is to have more laughter than not each day and even if it makes it by .001% then I'm calling it a good day. I homeschool our kids even though I swore I never would. Our family is looking less and less like the "norm" and I'm ok with that. I kind of like it.

Does he suck his thumb? Sophie Wei sucks her pointy and middle fingers.
I love the shades.
Good for you taking a nap!
Thinking of you.

You guys all look so happy! The orphanage looks much different than I expected. Very bright and cheery in the pictures. But you are so right....the best picture is the one where he is walking out the door with his daddy and to his new life.
He looks so happy and sweet-natured in all the pictures!
I bet you'll really be happy when you are finally boarding the plane home.
Wow....I'm so excited to see these photos! Caleb looks like he's always belonged with you two. I so look forward to hearing more about your journey! How amazing! Love you both....Hugs! :)
