YiLin's Room

YiLin's Room is finished with the exception of removing the door and hanging beads in the closet doorway.  I already have 3 or 4 outfits and pj's washed, folded, and sitting on the bed near her backpack.  I really hope she likes pink.  Knowing my luck, she will be a tom boy and only want to wear camo!  Don't get me wrong; camo looks good on girls too and I love to hunt and fish.  I'm just looking forward to pink, ruffles, tutus and another person in the house that doesn't have to lift the lid to use the restroom ;0)  Jeremy on the other hand, is already planning her first fishing rod.....and it isn't one of those sissy rods either.  I often find myself wondering what she will be like.  Will she like to read?  Will she be creative and artistic?  Maybe she will like music, or maybe she won't.  Will she love animals like we do, or will she hate them?  Will she be shy or bold and friendly?  Does she like to swim, or is she afraid of water?  I really hope she likes being outside.  We stay outside a lot and really love most all outdoors activities.  Marshall and I can show her how to catch crawdaddies and Ian will have to introduce her to all his chickens.  I wonder if she will like to play in the sand like I did when I was a little girl.  Will she be a deer hunter like the rest of us?  Maybe she will want to try ballet.

Whatever she is like, I know she will be a blessing to us.  God picked her out just for us and he knows what He is doing.  YiLin will be just as God made her to be, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Praying she likes pink.....or at least purple,
