playing with clothes again
So we finally had a weekend soccer free and were able to go to church which we have really missed. Briley couldn't wait to see her friends and let them meet her little sis. We put Mia in the 3yr old class and at first she was really shy (completely unlike her) and didn't want Cindy to leave, but we slipped out while she wasn't watching. The teachers said she did really good. They also adopted a little girl from China about three years ago- see pic. She is now 4 and she stayed in class to play with Mia. It seems like everywhere we turn God puts the right people in the right places.
Today we went to pick out Mia's glasses and also Briley had to go get her grill checked , that's teeth for you old people, to see when she will be getting braces. Hopefully Obama will hurry up and pay off my house and give us that big stimulus check so we can pay these doctor bills. I guess I shouldn't hold my breath.
Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers through the doctor visits.

Why Adopt From China
- Steve, Cindy, Briley and Mia
- At first glance, some of China's beliefs may seem quite different than those we hold in the western world. One example of this is the cultural preference for a male child. There are several reasons why Chinese families might prefer a boy over a girl. In rural provinces, a family's livelihood depends directly on the output of its family members. Because of this, a family with sons would be at a considerable advantage than one with daughters. Historically, it is also the son's honored responsibility to take care of his parents in their old age. A daughter, however, would be expected to care for her husband's parents rather than her own. In this regard, the Chinese believe that having a son is crucial to their livelihood, as well as a form of social security for the parents when they grow older. This situation is further complicated by China's One-Child Policy, which prohibits families from having more than one child. As a result of this policy, there are thousands of abandoned children throughout China, with the vast majority of them being healthy girls.
