Introducing Kathleen Emma Xinxin!!

Submitted by danielle on December 29, 2008 - 8:35pm.

It is with the greatest joy that we present our new daughter. Kathleen Emma Xinxin was born November 19th, 2007 which makes her 13 months old. This also makes her 17 months younger than Evan and 29 months younger than Miriam. She is from Luohe, Henan province, China. She was born with a Cleft lip (repaired) and palate. We don't know much about her, but she is said to be quiet with a ready smile and loves music. Let me tell you about her new name. Kathleen is my middle name and is for my grandmother Katie. Emma is a name we liked. Xinxin is Mandarin and means "faith". All together her new name means "Pure complete Faith".
We hope to travel to China in 3-4 months. Here are two pictures of our littlest sweetheart!

I love her name! All my kids names start with E, so my daughter almost was Emma. Our next one still might be. And I love Katherine with a K (I disagree with Anne Shirley on this).

Yeah!

First off I LOVE her name! It is my Middle name too!
I have been following your blog since Miriam came home!
Congratulations on your beautiful Children. All of them! Our daughters are from Haiti and China. So I guess I kind of feel a connection to your family!
