January 23rd = Quite a day in the history of the Martin family
1998 - Luke, our first baby and only son, came into the world at 1:11pm to 24 year-old kids who didn't have a clue how blessed we'd be 19 years down the road. #Lukesbday19
2013 - Grace went for her first colonoscopy after losing 21 pounds and we finally got an answer to what was causing all the havoc in her little body: Crohn's Disease. (How thankful we are that she has had very few symptoms since the removal of her colon in November of 2014!) #nocolonstillrollin
2017 - As we wait for LID/LOA/TA (translation: the process we are waiting for to get word we can leave for China), we celebrate our sweet girl's birthday. We don't know how they decided on this date as her birthday, but yes...it's also her brother's. Luke & Lottie's Chinese name also mean the same thing: Light. I believe this means they will have a special connection. Thankful that our agency's liaison in China could send her a birthday party complete with cake for all her friends and that we got pictures back today - which brought tears of JOY as well as a great longing to be with her. #Lottiesbday3
