We were So Blessed (thank the Lord for His provision!) to go see Liz and her family in Asia. We were there for Lydia's 3rd birthday (Connor will be 3 in Dec.) the 2 little girls are 3 weeks apart, and Jacob will be 5 in March. So we were quite busy. The Lord's provision was obvious even with the kids being sick. We had a great time. Below we are enjoying Lydia's birthday cake (Liz and I got to make it).
Yummy Western food for Lydia's birthday - pizza!
The cousins sure did love on each other.
Feeding the fish. A big highlight for all the kids!
One of the highlights was visiting the Panda preserve. We saw quite a few pandas including 4 or 5 babies (less than 2 months), a few toddlers (1 year olds, wrestling), and some red pandas.
We tired the kids out pretty much every day and they slept when they could (and we just didn't at all try to worry about a "schedule"). God provided.
Any foreign children attract attention, but 5 under age 5 - and BLONDE! We got a lot of comments and stares.
The kids did great on both airplane flights (thank you everyone for your prayers!!). Jeremy's juggling skills with the Katie and the food are quite impressive! Connor's a little bitter about being woken up (he FINALLY fell asleep for the last 2 hours of an 11 hour flight. We departed AFTER naptime, but he still pushed through for 9 hours. Crazy! We had to wake him up for the descent - he had been sleeping on the floor).
