Introducing Miss Kennedy Clow!!




It has been an absolutely INCREDIBLE day! We will be getting more information tomorrow. Right now, here is what we know:

Born: April 1, 2006 (on her cousin Asia's birthday!)
Presently residing in the province of Jiangxi.

So, she is now 8 months old and will be just 10 months old when we meet her for the first time. We are thrilled to bits!

I am still so excited for you and Marvin (and for Kennedy of course!) See you Wednesday, enjoy your day off tomorrow, I am sure it will be a busy day!

    I am finally calmed down enough to post a message. I just finished showing Jeff your pictures of Kennedy and he kept saying, "Ohhh, she's cute. Is she ever cute! Look at the hair on her." Then he said, "Make sure you tell Carolyn she is cute." I cried telling him and Savannah the story of you and Marvin coming to the school today with the pictures and then I cried again now writing this. I also ran over to my mom's and clicked on her favorites, I have saved for her, of Kennedy coming home and mom asked a million questions about the process, how old she is, how old she will be when you go ect; I can't even begin to describe the emotions I am feeling for you guys right now but I am truly excited, happy, and thrilled for you, Marvin and Yaz. You are a beautiful family with a beautiful daughter named Kennedy Clow...she is perfect! I love you guys!
    Jennifer, Jeff and Savannah
