The Smile

And so we have it--the smile, the laugh, a spunky little two year-old boy. Granted, it involved throwing chopsticks across the table--but who's counting???!!! Daniel was a different child tonight when we ventured out for dinner. He was teasing and playing. He fed himself a bowl of noodles. We feel like we're getting somewhere, and now we know he's going to keep us very, very busy!

Lisa, I've been following your blog from the beginning, and have appreciated you taking us on your journey with you. Congratulations on your handsome, adorable, gorgeous son. Daniel is just beautiful, and his smile is simply joyful. His smile is one of many, many more to come, given the fact that he is a part of your family! Enjoy the rest of your time in China, and safe travels back to Sabal Lakes. Hugs to you across the miles, and may God bless you all,
Melanie
