Mostly LiYang

I am really loving having an older daughter - she is a very special young lady.  She has been through so much in her 14 years,  yet, she is kind, loving, and such a joy.  I would encourage anyone to adopt an older child.  There are tough times, and, of course, a lot of normal teen behavior, but, seeing her blossom as she has gained friends, as she's learning English, as she's taking on other interests such as choir, and guitar - she is a beautiful young lady!  She doesn't like us taking pictures of her all the time like we do the younger girls, so I am actually borrowing some of hers from her camera for this post...
