friends & food

October was a busy month full of many visitors from friends! Our new friend is Magnolia Chiang born to our friends Jenny & Joey on October 21st! We hope to get some pictures of her in the future!! 
 Xiao Li's Son Rui Jie playing with the Littles while the Bigs did their schoolwork
 Nate & Cade were finally able to have a sleepover! They have too much fun together playing legos, eating yummy snacks and bugging the girls :).
 Another new arrival- Baby Luke!
 Here is helpful big brother David.
 Our friend Xiao Luo and her family stopped by for a joyful visit with their new addition.
 The next picture isn't a visitor- just August after his first major hair cut (he's had over 10 minor ones :)
 His eyes look so big now that we can see them!
 Cade also wanted to look like his brother and dad so he also got the buzz.
 Tae Kwon Do Cade ready to do a kick!

 Friends from one of the first Chinese Universities Josh attended. We were glad to have them for a visit.
 They knew the first three of our kids when Hadassah was just a tiny baby. They were surprised to see everyone so big!
 We were so excited to host our good friends The Streams since they have moved out of our city. We had some yummy calzones together and then ended up staying up way too late playing piano, bongos & guitar while the kids destroyed the house! It was such a blast!
 Good friends Hadassah & Evangelina that don't get to see each other often anymore.
 Baby Hosanna & August hitting it off
 yeay! someone my size!
 Classical Conversations Community Day at our house!
 Kids doing what they do best- making Abstract Art!
I'll end on a yummy note- fried lotus root and tang cu li ji! A pretty amazing lunch.
