A precious gift


Today I received this sketch in the mail of me holding Trey when he was 10 days old. I didn't even know that it was being drawn for us. My Aunt Christine in Florida drew it - my mom told me she spent hours on it. I think it is one of my favorite things anyone has ever given to me. She has done other sketches (including one of my Grandma and also my dad as a baby), and she is available for freelance work. You can see more of Christine's work on her website. The below picture is what she sketched from. Thank you so much, Aunt Christine! This is something I will cherish always.


As a side note, if you could remember to pray for my Uncle Charlie and Aunt Christine as they have been in a very long process of trying to adopt their little girl from China (since at least 2006). They have named her Sarah - please pray that God will bring her home soon. They are trusting God's perfect timing, but their hearts are anxious to have her in their arms.
