As promised I'm going to share a little bit more about my darling girl, but I thought I'd also share her WHOLE waiting family!! This girl is oh-so-loved by SO many! Lots of people she's going to bless!
This first picture was taken of just about ALL of us about 2 yrs ago. My immediate family AND Karl's immediate family (and throw in some aunts and uncles and cousins...SWEET!) all got together for Thanksgiving at the beach. We've done this for a couple of years now and it is so much fun!! It's great for Karl and I 'cause instead of just being able to see one side of our family we can see them ALL! And guess what...everyone gets along! It's a blast and such a fun thing to do. We are not going to be doing it this year (we are praying we are in China!!), but we already have plans for next year.
This next picture is a picture of my Grandma (in the center) with her children and grandchildren who were there that day. My poor brother was the only guy in the picture that day! My grandma is such a dear. She has been praying for her Karleigh Mei since the day we told her. She's excited and Karleigh Mei is just going to love her!
Here is a picture of Karl's mom and dad. Karleigh Mei will know them as "MiMi and PawPaw". She's going to love them!
This next pictures is of my mom and dad--aka "Grandma and Grandaddy". They are anxiously waiting for their sweet little grand-daughter to love on.
As promised, some more information that we have on Karleigh Mei. Her papers say this about her:
"Sometimes she acts like a spoiled child in the arms of the caretakers".
Karleigh Mei...you've got a WHOLE family just waiting to let them spoil you!! We can't wait to hold you in OUR arms and love you!!!

Hi Jenn,
I love what you are sharing about Karleigh Mei and the rest of your family. The story about how you arrived at her name is so special and a beautiful name. What a lovely extended family you have...so many blessings. Thank you for sharing. I am continuing to pray for you and excited waiting along with you.
Blessings,Cheryl (awaa friend)
It is just so exciting to think about Karleigh Mei coming into your extended family. I know they must be as great as you and Karl and your kiddos are.
Oh the love that awaits this sweet child. It gives me tears to think about it.
Jenn, I am sorry that this keeps lingering. I am sorry for the recent disappointments you've had. I know God has a plan and I know you trust it. Despite your faith, I know the waiting is so intense it hurts. May God give you a big hug that lets you know it is okay.
I love you,
Lisa
What a beautiful family. How cool to be able to be so close to both sides. I can't wait to see Miss Karleigh Mei smack dab in the middle of the new family pictures:)
Jenn,
Just checking out your blog! Hang in there. I remember missing the RA call for a group many of us expected to travel with. It seemed like forever waiting the next two weeks when it finally came. We ended up traveling with Denise (Maggie's mom) who has become a dear friend and the timing was of course perfect. it is so hard waiting when you are so close! It will come soon!!!
Miss Karleigh Mei ... we love to hear them describe you as a "Spoiled child". If it is so ... then we also know they've been loving on you enough for you to feel SPOILED! Don't worry beautiful little angel, your Mommy, Daddy, Big Sisters and big brothers are SO ready to SPOIL YOU ROTTEN! We are anxiously awaiting to meet you! You are such a blessing and your Mommy is So right ... you are just beautiful! HEEHEE .. I've seen your pictures and you are CAPTIVATING!
