A Special Visit

We had a wonderful visit with Josh's mom and step dad from December 24th to January 1st. The kids were beaming for a week straight and were really sad to see them go. But we are thankful for all the new and fun memories we have together!
We took a lift up to the Great Wall. It was SO COLD out, I think around 0 degrees F with the windchill.
But we got some pretty good pictures! This one is from inside the lift.
It's hard to tell how steep the climbing was from this angle, but the incline was pretty sharp.
Family Picture! Hadassah slept the whole time.



Jeff & Marie... Who would guess they're grandparents of 5?!
We also took a trip to the "Temple of Heaven."

Glamorous Girls
This is the pose that Lily learned from all her girlfriends in Chinese preschool. "V" for "victory."

Marie and I rode bikes to the supermarket. She did great in all this traffic!

The day before Ye ye and Nai nai left, Hadassah began "scooting"! She can now move across the whole room if there is something she wants on the other end!
Lily usually takes care of Dass while I make breakfast.

Jeff got a kick out of this... 5 taxis in one picture. I didn't even think twice about it; we're getting used to all this traffic.
Happy Haddy

Special Ye ye and Cade Time

Reading the Bible Story Book with Lil
Like Father like son? Maybe not this time :O)
Jeff and Marie enjoyed meeting quite a few of our friends around here.

Early Morning Hugs

Checking out Lily's preschool.
From watching the Acrobats to attending Lily's preschool performance I think Ye ye and Nai nai had quite an adventure!

I have always wondered what the "v" stands for...silly me, I just thought it was a peace sign.

Oh yes, Ye ye and Nai nai had a great time! It was such a blessing to be able to spend a week with you in your home. Thank you so much for all the love and special care that you gave us. Sorry to hear that Lindsey got a nasty cold after we left. I am sure you all needed to catch up on some good rest. We miss you all already. We have told many family members and friends of our special trip. Still organizing all the great pictures and memories. Our love Ye Ye & Nai Nai.
