What a month! Here are Lily and Abby working on their preschool books. They both love this time together.
They are also going through a "Hooked on Phonics" computer program and learning lots.

This is Caedmon's favorite doll Roger. The first one's head finally fell of so we bought him a new Roger (for about $5). Since having the new Roger for only a month, his head is falling off too! Do we replace him again??

Two American mom's came over to host an Inner/ Outer Beauty party. We had lots of fun!

A Package from GG & Gampy!

Lily excited about counting sets, then eating them.

So far the tradition with a new baby has been that Josh sets up the crib and picks out an outfit (this time from the closet :). I was so surprised to come home to this! We bought the crib/ toddler bed from our friends who returned to the States.

Excited Big Brother

Where's the baby?

I was glad to see both kids were willing and eager to share their toys!

Taxi Ride

With no hesitation, this man quickly climbed up the tree (about 2 inches thick) (with his "dress shoes" on) (with a pole in one hand) (on a windy day) to get the kite down.

"Caedmon!"

Josh had a great time reuniting with Tom in Georgia and supporting him on his special day!!!

Happy April Fools Day! What a holiday. Today it rained. Pre-school registration turned out to be full. The kids fought all day long. But amidst my sorrows ;) we have reason to celebrate! 8 years ago today, Josh began to see the light of Christ!

I was out of the room for literally two minutes...

our friends Cheryl & Bryan moving in to their new apartment

The girls missed eachother so after 4 months apart!

I didn't even recognize Hudson since he was so little when the Hunts left.

Lily's Teenager Face

Just kidding mom. We're only toddlers.

That's the strategy!

Dodgers Vs. Padres in China

Besides running out of food in the third inning and not having any water for sale, the game was a hit for those attending. However, I have a feeling it will take a while before Baseball is embraced and loved by the Chinese.


I actually looked in Lily's room twice after peeking through the whole house trying to find Lily; she blended in so well with her dolls!
