Free Fun

So the joke in our house this week is that Salome looks like the Guniea Pig in the movie 'Bedtime Story'. What do you think?



Really, Salome has amazing HUGE brown eyes. We love them !

Blanket forts- oh the simple joys! They even slept all night under the tent! Amazing!






We got a new stroller for Salome. This is about 30 seconds after we took the stroller out of its box. Asa has played: horse with the stroller box, made it into a house, collected things all over the house and put in it, used it as a doggie house and so much more! Who knew the box could be so fun.

Ready to go! If only the weather was warmer!

Also today- Joab has new job! He will start with Cisco Systems in early March! SO proud of him. It was not easy to find a job in Shanghai, working for an American company as well as being a father to a new baby! Love you Joab!
At lunch I prayed "Thank you God for a new job for Daddy"
Mei then turned to me and said "He got one already?"
It struck me she never doubted he would. Oh! To have faith like a child!!!

Your kids are so beautiful Emily! I especially love Mei's curly hair :-) Does Asa fit in the stroller too? What kind is it, it looks great! We're looking for a new one in that style, hopefully that Leyna and a little baby can both fit in (at separate times, of course :-) Congrats to Joab, too!
