In the middle of my asking, Li Yang perked up and leaned forward. “Yes! I always ask myself these questions!”
And that gift, that precious, precious gift, also now belongs to FIVE NEW SISTERS!
Wahooo! We have a new sister in the house! She’s beautiful! 10 fingers and toes. About 63 inches long, err tall. And her English name is Natalie, because she was born again at Christmastime.
