I will be happppppy to babysit any time you need for me to, even though I'm sure Jenny will not let Lilli leave her side (and I wouldn't either)!

Love Always, Carrie

My precious little LilliAn,
I am so excited about meeting you! I have your picture in my hall and get a little sugar everytime I walk by-that means I give you a little kiss. I am the crazy aunt. You will/are loved already more than you can imagine. Tell your Mom to stop worrying so much about things like the right sized diapers and clothes. Those things don't even matter in God's big scheme of your wonderful future in our family. I'll tell you a secret... I got you a cutie potootie stroller today. Just remember NOT to tell your Mom or Dad! Sleep tight little angel!Love,Aunt Susan
PS: Uncle Jay is writing a song for you on his yukulele...I know, I told you we were a little crazy!! John and Caroline send their love too!

Hi Jenny,
I have been thinking of you often and am so thrilled to see your news. I have been keeping an eye on the website and lately it has been calling my name. Lilli is beautiful. You will be leaving on my first child’s 30th birthday. I am so delighted that you have maintained the website and look forward to following your progress. Your news brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart!!!Wishing you nothing but the best,Denese

Precious little grandchild,
We have waited so long to see your little face and now Mommy and Daddy are going to China to bring you back to us. We will be waiting with open arms and hearts to take you into our lives and to love you. Forever.You will be our 8th grandchild and very special to us.Your loving grandparents,Nana and PapaXOXOXOXOXO

Hi Lilli:
Can I call you sometime? We can watch Noggin together. - Samuel Aycock

March 11, 2008 - 08:27 AM Suzanne, Liesel and Lainey
Lilli!We have waited soooo long to see you! Your pictures are just beautiful! We can not wait for you to get HOME! Only 2 more weeks. All of our beloved Pooh things wait for you in your new room! We hope you like them.
Liesel can't wait to be your first babysitter, well, after the Nana's! She owes alot of "free' babysitting to your Mommy! She wrote a book just for you called "Waiting for Lilli" and she can't wait to read it to you!
Lainey is so excited too! She loves to help her Aunt "Nenny" and Uncle Danny. She will be alot of help when you get here, too! Lainey has written a special poem about you! We have lots of talents in this family! I am not so sure about Uncle Jay and the ukelele though!
I hope to be "one" of your favorite aunts! You can call me Aunt Boo (Boo is a nickname given to me by my Dad). I call Lainey, Lainey Bug and Chicken Little. Liesel is Sweet Pea and sometimes Pumpkin Head! I wonder what your nickname will be?
We love you to the "Moon and Back" a million times!
Love,
Aunt BOO, Lainey Bug and Sweet Pea1

Lilli,
I have worked beside your Mom for what seems like ages waiting for you. Everyday she spoke about you, thought about you and dreamed about your arrival.
You couldn't have picked a better mother and she deserves to have you in her arms to hold, love and kiss. (She's really mushy and likes to hug me sometimes-I let her 'cause sometimes I need them)
Believe me when I say that every one of your mother's family and friends already love you and will always be here for you just as your mother has been there for our children when she was needed. (And if you ever want to really have a good time-call me, we'll go get your pretty dresses dirty!)
My only words of wisdom (at this time) are:"accept the things you can not change, change the things you can and have the wisdom to know the difference".
Lots of Love,
Camille

March 14, 2008 - 05:34 AM Sara Wallace
Sweet Lillie,
How much you mean to your new Mommy and Daddy. They have waited so long for you and its time for them to bring you home.We so look forward to having you home in your own house.
A lot of the children at First Presbyterian Church call us PaPa and Grandma Sara, I hope you will too.
We can't to hold you in our arms.
Love, Frank and Sara Wallace (PaPa and Grandma Sara)

March 15, 2008 - 07:27 AM Amy Nix
Lilli...We're ready to give you a HIGH FIVE baby girl (and of course, hold you and kiss you and hug you and love you)....Come on home.
Love, Aunt Amy, Kyle, Jack and Ella

March 16, 2008 - 07:29 PM Scarlett & Chris
It's Lilli's GOTCHA DAY!!! Today you will get to hold your baby girl. And, she will get to meet her wonderful Mommy and Daddy. We are so happy for the three of you. God is GOOD!!

March 17, 2008 - 09:32 AM Tony, Rachel and Madison
Hey Lilli! We saw your picture today with your mommy and daddy. I hope you always remember how much everyone loves you!!!Madison can't wait to play with his new friend.

March 17, 2008 - 09:55 AM Pat Pat
What a beautiful family picture. You both looked so natural holding Lilli. You can actually feel the love in this picture. I think a lot of people here cried also when we saw it. Tears of joy! God is so good. We at Field Controls can not hardly wait to spoil you.
Lots of love & blessings, PatPat

March 17, 2008 - 03:07 PM Martha
Lilli - you are beautiful!! I can't wait to get a hold of those cheeks and kiss, kiss, kiss them (that is if your mom and dad have left any sugar for the rest of us). Samuel was so excited this morning when I told him that your parents had you that he said "go." He was ready to come visit. I had to explain that you all are still far away, but that we will be able to see you soon.

March 17, 2008 - 05:11 PM Chris & Scarlett
Oh, Miss Lilli! What a sweet little angel you are!! We know your Mommy and Daddy are enjoying smooching those rosy cheeks! What a joy it is to see the three of you together at last.

March 17, 2008 - 07:32 PM Auntie Jo
Lilli, as I looked at you and your Mommy and Daddy holding you today with tears in their eyes, all I could think was "GOD is GOOD". He made sure you got a Mommy and Daddy that loved you so much even before you were born. Now we get a chance to watch you grow into a beautiful young lady. Hurry home so we can smoooooch your cheeks and spoil you. Love Always!

March 18, 2008 - 05:27 AM Sara Wallace & Frank Wallace
Sweet Lilli, you were truly worth waiting for. God in his wisdom knows just the right time. One only has to look at your Mommy and Daddy to know this is really the right time.Hurry home.

Lilli, Jenny, and Danny,
We are so happy you are all together as a family atlast. May God always shine brightly in your future.
This poem was going to be given to your Mom and Dad for your quilt and I never got it to them. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
Celebrate All That Binds Us Together
Celebrate the budding flowers, the clear blue sky, the deep green forests, the perfect full moon, the twinkling stars.
Celebrate the miracle of a baby, the optimism of children, the laughter of adolescents, the responsiblity of adults, the wisdom of our elders.
Celebrate the love in our hearts, the spirit in our souls, the health of our bodies.
Celebrate all that binds us together as one...
(Author Unknown)
Love, Christina, Kevin and Brandon

What a beautiful little girl you are. Many years ago my husband Tom and I traveled to China and brought home two beautiful little girls. We love them sooo much and I know how much you'll be loved as well.
Even though you don't us yet, we love you. We've followed your journey and have prayed for you and your Mom and Dad daily. My little girls, Bella Rose and Anne Mallott, look forward to welcoming you home. They are already calling you "mei mei" - little sister.
Love,

Lilli!!!!
Thank God you are safe and sound now in your new home! Your parents are so excited and we are too! We were soooo excited that we wsited for you in our car, at your house, to get home at 12:30 am! When Papa drove up, Aunt Amy, cousins Ella, Liesel, and Lainey and Aunt Boo waved American flags to welcome you home! You just smiled and grabbed at the flags. We loved on you before you were even out of the car!
We stayed and played with you until about 2:30 in the morning! Boy, we were tired, but you weren't really after all that sleeping on the plane.
We can't wait to see you again soon. Unfortunately, we have had to work and go to school this week while you learn a new schedule. I hear from your Mommy that it is hard work!
We love you to the moon and back!
Love, Aunt Boo, Liesel & Lainey

April 10, 2008 - 07:02 PM Scarlett
