New Bikes

It's been a long time, but we finally got Jacob a bike.

Poor kid still needed training wheels,

but that didn't stop him from having fun.
Hannah fell in love with her bike

the moment she saw it in the store.

All she needs to do now is SLOW DOWN in the turns. CRASH!!!

Brother & Sister

If you look closely; to our's & Hannah's surprise...

you will see the sprinkler just began. oops! :o)
Too Cute, X2!!

Zoo Trip

Getting to the Zoo at 1:30 was not a smart idea, it was hot!
We did get lots of great photos.
Not sure if the kids had a good time or not... :)

Video Game Goddess...

The video game Goddess and Emperor!

One week at home and fitting right in!

Like a Glove!

I just emailed a friend who had asked how we are, & how is Hannah..etc.?? I guess I better tell you all; We are settling in very nicely. Hannah has fit right into the family, "like a glove on a hand". We have been truly blessed with our Daughter Hannah and a sibling for Jacob. It has been a mostly smooth transition since day one, "Gotcha day" and continues to be better each day. We are taking the evening off, to rest and play tonight. We hope to post some pictures for you all in a day or two of our life at home!

We are Safe, Happy and Home!

It is 9:50 pm and we are snug in our beds... :o)

we will talk to you tomorrow after a good night's sleep.

Outta' Here!

We leave China on Friday at 5:50 AM ... We will travel about 27 hours and we will be home Friday afternoon!

{Just have your kids do the math! ;o)}

The Delta Pearl at night

The kids took these pictures. They really enjoyed photography on this journey. We walked to the river outside our hotel on our last evening to see the Pearl River at night. The pictures do not do the light show justice through the mist and humidity. It was very nice. We enjoyed all the lights as they played Chinese music.

The Red Couch Photos

This is all the Kids in our group of 5 families.

The 5 families.

Sister and Brother.
The funny bunch!
Our Family.

Two days left!!!!

Ahhh, the waiting game. Some of us handle it better then others...

Hannah wakes up everyday counting on her fingers how many days till we leave, then she pretends to be a plane... wrrrruummm.

Some of us after walking around are ready for the next day.
Some of us take their kids toys and never give it back.
In the wild, the strong survive, so if they want the toys back...
Ok, the kids have taken over the Bigger toys. So the bottom feeder parents, are left with the scraps.
