Miri was having a crying fit so Amy put her in her car seat and set her on the running dryer to simulate the feeling of riding in a car. It actually worked...for a while!

Finally caught-up!
I just realized that we haven't taken many pictures of Miriam since the week after she was born. (Sometimes we think she doesn't even look the same as she did the first two weeks or so. We understand this is normal.) I think the only reason I didn't take new ones is simply because I have been overwhelmed with getting caught-up in blog-posting the ones we'd already had. I'm going to need to find some balance in doing this in the days to come.
Peter & Sarah's visit - Miriam meets her cousins for the first time (1/18/2008)
Uncle Peter and Aunt Sarah came down to meet Miriam for the first time a week after Miriam's arrival. Their boys (Miriam's only cousins to date) were curious about their new cousin.
From left: Jonah, Aidan, and Uncle Peter with Miriam. I like this picture (too bad Auntie Sarah isn't in it to complete the family a bit more). For whatever reason, I can't help but think this photo has some sort of Norman Rockwell qualities to it. Call me crazy. :-)
From left: Jonah and Aidan with Miriam. Aidan was more than eager to hold...sometimes he was almost too insistent to hold her.

'The boys' don't know what to think of their crying cousin.

Cutesy pics (1/18 to 1/25/2008)
The above picture is a favorite of ours. I am currently using it as wallpaper on my desktop computer. We have also chosen to use it for our ever-so-delayed birth announcements. Admittedly, the picture is a bit blurry or grainy. This is because I couldn't use the flash: flashes always wake her up.
With a slight case of the hiccups.
Notice the little weasel peaking at me while I complain about our sleeplessness.
Miri's new cousin: Meng Xue
My sister (Sarah) and her husband (Peter) have been in the adoption process for a long time. As of yesterday, they found out who their daughter is and they shared their pictures of her which I have included in this post. Her name is Meng Xue and she is 2 years old (born on on Christmas Day 2005).
'Meng' is her first name and 'Xue' is her middle name. Sarah mentioned that they will probably give her a new first name and use her current first and middle names as one middle name.
In about 6 to 8 weeks they will leave for China to bring her home. Tentatively, my mom and Sarah are going to China. Meanwhile, Peter is staying home with their boys. His mom will be accompanying him as he holds down the fort.
Amy and I are anxious to meet her, but can only imagine she will need some adjustment and bonding time with Mom and Dad...and two anxious brothers.
Enjoy!
