Oh, how we love this little guy already!Â
My friend Denise (see sidebar…Denise-Seth) is in China right now, adopting her 2nd child from China, Seth. You may remember Dylan being in his birthday pictures back in March. She graciously offered to try and meet Dylan, and take pictures of him if they were allowed to visit the orphanage.Â
I was so excited to see these…I mean, he’s SMILING! He was cute in those other pictures, but seriously?? I can barely stand the cuteness now!Â
Seeing the pictures makes me so happy, but it also makes the waiting time seem that much longer until we can get there.Â
Denise not only took the time to get all these pictures for us. She also talked to him, spoke to the orphanage workers for us, gave him a hug for us. It brings tears to my eyes. I mean, she’s there adopting her own child and she went to such lengths to give us these precious gifts. I’m so thankful.Â
I’ll share more detail in another blog…for now, more cuteness.Â
He’s happy. The nannies he’s with seem to care for him.Â
I think our next care package should include a shirt that fits better? I guess pants are optional. :)

WOW! He is so wonderfully cute … almost too much to bear, with him all the way around the world … looks like he’ll have enough energy and personality to fit right in with all of you! Thank you, Denise, for spending your time providing Dylan’s family, all of us, with these precious pictures. I can’t wait to meet him. I think I’ll copy one of these to post on my refrigerator.
Love to you all …

I saw these pictures earlier and by the third picture I was crying. He is just beautiful. He has the most amazing smile. Being one of Dylan’s grandmothers, I would like to than Denise for taking time to do this for Donna and Randy. I can’t wait to hold my precious grandson and I know that Donna and Randy want to go get him so badly. Do you think Dylan knows somewhere in his heart just what God has in store for him? A loving family that will always be there for him and will make sure that his life will be filled with God’s wonderful blessings.
prayers and love for my grandson…

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? CUTE is definitely the word…you can’t help but grin at these pictures!!! Have you made prints for Lainey’s album yet?? I want some prints, too, and for Great Nana!! He would be soooo adorable in commercials on TV!! You’re right…we really haven’t seen him actually SMILE till now…it certainly “becomes” him!!
I also want to thank you, Denise, for allowing Dylan’s family and friends to see close-up wonderful photos of him. I hope he realized that the hugs were from his mom, dad and his 5 siblings waiting (patiently??) for him to come home! God Bless you, Dylan!!

Oh, Donna…I think I’m smitten as well! While my kids are pretty cute, I do think he’s a close runner-up for cutest China kid I’ve ever seen! That smile of his…I can’t even imagine how it will melt you in person. You are in TROUBLE, lady…that one’s gonna be a heartbreaker, for sure!

Oh my goodness, he is absolutely beautiful. He does look happy, doesn’t have that blank stare that you sometimes see. I know you are just dying to get your hands on him! He’s precious. Praying that the wait will not be much longer. –Glenda
