Deb Minkkinen Check on Kevin http://www.caringbridge.org/mn/kevinm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diane and Pete, I am so excited for you! Your travel date has finally arrived and in the morning you will on your way to pick up the daughter you have been dreaming about for so long. How lucky you all are to be getting each other. Enjoy your trip and your time in China forming your new family with little My. We'll miss you here, but hope you'll know you have lots of good wishes being "threaded" your way!

Enjoy this adventure to the fullest. Every day your exciting journey brings your one step closer to your new daughter. Enjoy and savor the experience, we are all with you in spirit, looking forward to the day you all come home. Love Kerr and Shirl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter & Diane, It is Sunday afternoon, Alex and I were over yesterday to visit the pets. They are doing fine. I am sure they miss you. I meet Tina, while I was out shoveling your driveway. She is so sweet. Today I met with Chris and Bob to give them the spare keys. We visited for a while playing with Cessa, they are so excited for the both of you. They sound like very proud Grandparents. I have no doubt that your little Mylin will be given so much love from all when you return with her. Two more days then you get to meet Mylin. How exciting! How is China? I hope you were able to catch up on your sleep on the flight over there. Dad called on yesterday, he wanted to make sure that you got off OK. He didn't think that he would make it to the airport but would perhaps like to meet with you after you return home. You can let him know (I can pass any comments on if you would like.) Talk to you soon. :) Stay safe. We will keep you in our prayers. Love Karen, Brian and Alex. PS Cessa sends her kisses. Lee just wanted to send a shoulder rub. XOXO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are so excited for you! I cannot imagine the feeling of meeting this little one that you have been dreaming of! Too wonderful for words! She is one lucky little lady and so are you! We will be waiting! Love, Jerry and Kathleen Mehus --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are in my thoughts as you embark on this awesome journey! What a cool site you have set up. Take care and enjoy! Angela Bidler at Hamilton --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ms. Lemke – I wanted to let you know that Ashley is thinking of you often – wondering if you met Mylin yet. She said the class is being very good for Ms. West, but it’s not the same as having Ms. Lemke there. When I remind her that you are going to meet your daughter and will be back, she quickly says how neat that is and how lucky Mylin will be to receive all those hugs from Ms. Lemke. Travel safe! Brenda Cich for Ashley --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karla, Sandy Penshorn and I are extremely moved by your love and devotion to My. You've touched our hearts. Thanks for sharing, friend. Linda Hawk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Peter and Diane Well, you must have gotten the chance to meet your little Mylin. I hope it went well. Happy Valentine's day. Love Cousin Alex. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday - night, 02/13/2006 Dear Diane and Peter, We're enjoying your messages. What a lovely poem you wrote for Mylin - it’s a tear jerker. Nice picture of you and the excited Daddy just off the plane in Narita. Doesn't sound like you were able to sleep to much, probably TOO EXCITED!!!! What an adventure!!!! Bob and I went over to visit the pets again today. They seemed happy to see us. We let Sessa outside before left, and we played ball with her, so she could get some exercise. We told her you went to get her a sister. Shirley brought the messages over to us after work. Your web site was set up very nice. We're praying you have a wonderful trip and that Mylin bonds quickly to you and Peter. LOVE, MOM & BOB A.K.A. GRANDMA & GRANDPA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------2/13/2006 Peter and Diane, We are so happy for you, and we have prayed for your safety in getting there and to keep you well. So we will continue to call upon God to give you real joy Tuesday as you receive your little Mylin into your loving arms. THANK YOU LORD for this happy moment and the joy she will bring into all of our lives. Love to all three of you....Grandpa Howard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------We just heard that Mylin has been with you since midnight, our time. Congratulations! Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your precious little girl. Love, Denise S., Maryanne and Karla --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The news is fresh off the speaker that you have your new daughter, Mylin, safe in your arms! Jana says she is sleeping in the crib. I can only imagine how you are feeling at this moment. Hamilton is abuzz with excitement and anticipation as you continue your journey to bring Mylin home to Minnesota. Love and prayers to all, Sue Stellmacher ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Pete, I'm enjoying Diane's writing of her trip thus far. Am closely watching and can hardly wait for word when you get to meet Mylin. What a wonderful addition she will be to your family, your joys will soon be ten-fold. Hope all goes smoothly. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Later -- Jane Heins Medina - Transportation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pete and Diane, Your poem for My was so touching. Every child should be so loved and anticipated. When her arrival was announced over the PA the entire building was buzzing. I think of you often and am thrilled that you have come together at last. I'm sure Ben is excited to meet his sister. You are in my prayers. Travel safely. Enjoy every moment. Love, Terr ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------HI Pete, Diane, and Mylin It is great to see the excitement in the both of you. Mylin is going to have a great Dad and Mom. We wish you well on this great adventure. God bless, Roger, Bridget and Lilly -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Pete, Diane,and Mylin; Sounds like Mylin is smaller than we anticipated, maybe size 1 would have been O K. Shirley just brought the pictures over of your walking tour of Beijing, the Hotel, Department store and the gate of the city wall and you and Pete. You both look MARVELOUS. Looks like you lucked out to get such a good natured baby. We can't wait to see her!!!!! It's so nice to get your messages the whole family feels involved. Sessa and Lee are doing pretty good but I'm sure they're missing you. Lee jumped on Bob's lap and let him pet him. Sessa likes the petting too. Bob had a Dr's apt today, no change, except Dr. Waters put him on prednisone daily (low doses). We sure appreciate Kerry and Shirley for keeping us up to date. Love you!!!!! Close for now Love Mom & Bob (Grandma & Grandpa) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Lemke family, all of you, We have lived each day in the glow of your happiness. We felt the joy as the orphanage put our precious little Mylin in your loving arms. Yes dear family we knew all the good was going to happen to you three as this is exactly what we asked our loving Lord to do. He says to bring Him to all facets of our lives and pray from a righteous heart and he will answer. I have been thanking him all the way. Now we will pray that he will keep you safe until we all see you. God loves you and so do we. Bob (the old one) Grandpa. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Diane and Pete, Mylin could not be more beautiful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story with all of us, it seemed like I was right there with you. Love and Praying for you safe return, Denise Williams ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Lemke Family - Congratulations on your new daughter, Mylin!! We are both doing lots of reading to get the medallion - we're already at 700 minutes, and are working on 800 right now so we can meet Ms. Merritt ... hurray. I hope your daughter is being good for you. When mom read us your story, she cried ... a lot. You have touched all of our hearts with your special love for your special daughter. Our class is doing very well in the reading program, and Ms. West is doing well of teaching us and we like her ... but we of course, miss you LOTS!! And Ms. West, I think, misses you too. We pray every night a special prayer to God that you will be safe and travel home safe with Mylin. Amanda and Ashley Cich (love you lots!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------We here at Anoka County Highway Dept, are enjoying your very special journey. Mylin is a beautiful baby and you both will make wonderful parents for her. Diane, your journal is so beautifully written and inspirational. Please continue writing for your daughter's sake. One day in many 'short' years to come, she will appreciate all you have done for her and will love reading about all these tender moments. Thank you so much for sharing your very precious moments with all of us. Carol Schaffer, AC Highway ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pete, Diane, and Mylin, After reading your story to "computerless" Sandy, she said for me to tell you she feels very thrilled and honored to babysit Mylin. I did ask her if she could make scrambled eggs and she said YES! We had wanted to meet you all at the airport, but your landing time is all wrong! Sandy will be up north celebrating her mother's birthday and I have a morning appt.(but I'll watch for a later time arrival-which i hope you don't have to endure). And we will see you as soon as possible! God Bless the rest of your adventure, and prayers for a safe return! Hugs, Denise and Sandy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Diane, Monday night’s aren’t the same without you! We miss you, but you are having more fun than us! We’re ecstatic that you are with your beautiful girl! She’s perfect, and lucky to have you. Looking forward to hearing more of your adventures; thank you for sharing this website with us. Hope to see you again soon! EDAD 621 classmates ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Pete, Diane, and Mylin, What a wonderful keepsake your webpage journal will be for you and Mylin some day. Your descriptive journal entries have been so delightful to read. Your daily discoveries of Mylin's talents and personality have also been a joy to read. What wonderful photos you have included to share with all of us so I already feel like we have been introduced. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers daily as you head home to American soil with your newly adopted little girl in the adorable beaded hat.
