Your name was whispered and I fell in love

It came at 1:52 in the afternoon the ringing of my phone, the holding of my breathe, the whisper of your name...Xiu Hua Wei, a tear falling down my cheek. I fell in Love at the whisper of your name.They told me where you were and how much you weighed, your cheeks were chubby like chipmunks and a smile was on your face. The faded image in my mind has been made clear soon I will hold you and draw you near. I fell in love at the whisper of your name.

SHE'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a long 2 1/2 year wait she is finally here. I am extremely happy to announce the arrival of our daughter Rebekah Xiu Hua Wei Wood. She was born 11/24/07, is 7 1/2 months old, 25" long, and 15 lbs (I know she looks bigger in the pictures but that is because of the several layers of clothing she is in. We have been told she is a deep sleeper, a finger sucker, and quiet. She has been in Foster Care since March 2nd. We hope to travel in about 5 to 6 weeks to get her. Madeline is very excited and has already packed her stuff, and if I am honest so have I. We love you all and thank you for all your prayers you have offered up on our behalf.

HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL 4TH

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Kelly and I got to go to our first Texas Ranger's game of the season last night and it was GREAT because they won (usually when we go they loose). I am finally getting around to learning how to use the fancy features on my camera and tried my hand at it last night. We were in a luxury suite (thank you Freese and Nichols - Kelly's employer) so we were a bit a ways away but my telephoto lens got me closer. The first picture I call the balancing act because they balanced the bat for Milton Bradley on its end till he could return to the plate.
Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton both had a good game. Here they are connecting for a double (Kinsler) and a single (Hamilton).
This one is for my friend, Rodney, in California. A picture of the new Cowboys Stadium just down the road from The Ballpark in Arlington. I took this picture from the upper deck of the Ballpark. I have to admit this will be the best football stadium around even if it is for the Cowboys...GO 49ERS!!!
