Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

The stone of heaven...

Today I received my make-up order in the mail from my great friend Jamye Shaw. Now she can make a killer swimsuit (the best) and her make-up is flawless but today she had her own mascara running down my face!!!
She sent Halle-Grace a Christmas gift that holds SO much meaning! I am incredibly touched and I know someday when Halle-Grace is old enough to understand, she will be as well (and equally excited about the swimsuits..lol)
Halle-Grace can use the jade cross as a piece of jewelry or to hang on a ribbon as a bookmark in her bible. Here is more about this symbolic stone (keep in mind "Khanh" her given Vietnamese name means precious stone). God is cool, huh?
"The jade stone is very symbolic of the Asian culture and therefore holds a special meaning for Halle-Grace's culture...it is the stone of heaven, and signifies BEAUTY and SPIRITUALITY...it's strength and quality is 2nd only to diamonds. Today it remains a symbol of the good, the beautiful and the most PRECIOUS!!! Some even believe it brings good fortune and protection!"
Jamye and the entire Shaw family, thank you, we love you and Merry Christmas!

Please daddy, look how cute I am!
What kind of caption goes with this??? She is full of surprises. A new trick from our little character...you know I didn't do this because I wouldn't allow a Halloween pacifier in sight at Christmas!!!
