Several people have asked if Hannah is anywhere near the earthquake that happened in China a few days ago. Thank God she was not....her province is further south (she is in GuangXi and the earthquake was in Sichuan province). It is certainly heartbreaking to see the devastation and suffering.
Others have heard about the tornado in Picher, OK. Picher is about 5 miles from Miami (where most of my family lives) and maybe 2 miles from where my dad lives in Commerce. Thankfully all are ok and neither of those towns had any damage. Picher didn't have much to begin with, but from what I understand there is nothing standing in the town...no buildings, no trees...it was reported that 20 blocks were leveled to the ground...the entire town of Picher couldn't have been more than 20 blocks, so they can probably now erase the town from the map because it is gone!! Equally heartbreaking for all those families that were involved.
Two powerful acts of Mother Nature a little too close to home. Say your prayers, because the next disaster could be even closer. Certainly makes me appreciate and be thankful for today because who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Congratulations! She is so cute. Sarah is doing so well. I am looking forward to following your journey. It's incredible how fast the time in China goes. I have lots of information for you.
