Lily & I had a special girls time last night! We take turns picking what to do a couple times a month. It was my turn, so I picked going to get our hair washed!
The lady asked if we also wanted a hair cut. I said no. Lily said yes!
Lily thought the whole experience was pretty cool. Especially because it was past bed time and it was dark outside. While she got her hair cut, I got a head massage.
Here's the result! (I was planning on trimming her hair myself. As Lily was sitting there she said, "Mom, I'm really glad I'm getting my haircut here. When you cut my hair it takes FOREVER!" Ha ha. It probably seems like it, but the guy cutting her hair cut and blow-dried and cut and blow-dried... for quite a while. I'm sure it was way more fun then sitting on the toilet being told to sit still a million times.)
Our total bill was 25 kuai. $3.80.
I got the camera out too late. I was coming out from the kitchen and saw Hadassah and Vivianna both running to me with a doll in one hand and a blankie in the other wanting me to wrap the dollies up. It was pretty cute. Here comes big sister to the rescue!
Since Hadassah has been sleeping on the tripple bunk with Lily and Caedmon, she hasn't been getting as much sleep at night, but totally rejects the idea of a nap in the crib. One day she was so wiped out, she fell SOUND asleep right before supper. Viv crawled right up on top of her and sat on her head and Hadassah didn't even move!
Here our our three "St. Patricks" in celebration of St. Patricks day. I was too tired to explain what a leprechaun is. I don't even think I know :)
For Wednesday gym class we usually head to the field... unless it's super cold out. This day it was super cold out. So we headed to the indoor play place instead! We were the only ones there all morning and all the kids had a blast.
Kind of hard to see, but this is the first time I've seen Hadassah draw something else besides scribbles. She drew a picture of herself on the "Ho-ti" (Horsey).
We really enjoyed our home fellowship group on this particular Sunday. We celebrated Vivi's Baby Dedication. Since Josh and I both chose to be baptized as adults, we feel dedicating our children to God is a fun and encouraging alternative.
Our friends agreed to encourage her and pray for her as she grows up. Josh and I are thankful to give her life to the Lord and to not hold on with a tight grip as if we were in control. We had a special time of fellowship and songs.
prayin' & playin'
Ok, that's enough. Time for a nap!

Here's Viv's anual t-shirt picture. So big girl.
Lily & Jing Jing during another fun play date
Lily was thrilled to finally figure out how to jump rope
Cade sort of gets it
And Hadassah... not so much yet. But jump ropes are fun for other things!
Our little polka dot
I heard Lily in the kitchen before anyone else got up. Here was what she found for us for breakfast! She even had 6 place settings full! (definitely not forgetting the twisty straws)
Rolled up the carpet during potty training.
I'm so glad the worst part is over! Dass is a trooper!
My final springtime surprise... flowers from my handsome. We could smell the bouquet throughout the whole house!
