Congratulations!!!! I just came by to check on you guys and I'm sooooo thrilled for you! I can't wait to tell Craig and the kids that the other little Chen Chen is getting a baby brother. Claire actually brought you up in conversation just today......how fun! Seriously.......I'm sitting here amazed and so joyful for you all. It is SUCH a beautiful thing to watch God make families. Blessings to you all!

Julie Landino for all the fam
P.S. Ivy Fu Chen is doing wonderfully :-) She brings us so much joy and beauty every day. We still feel (and I know always will) overwhelmed that we actually get to live our lives with this child. I know that you know just what I mean :-)
