Wishing all our family and friends a Happy Mother's Day!
Life is full and Celinda's momma arms are full :)
Today was a shopping day...not our favorite thing to do, but we went along for the ride. It got us out for a bit, but definitely posed its share of challenges as well.
Shopped for some Chinese outfits for the boys -- but poor little Jack: this is just not the way to nap. It has been catch as catch can. Looking forward to home for many reasons, especially for routine!
Mommy got a little break, but not for TOO long. This little guy loves being held by his mommy--and it usually has to be standing up!
Pizza Hut AGAIN! Julianna was not at her peak today, and we would appreciate prayers for her health.
Jack seems to do best back in the room. We can sit and play and bond. He LOVED playing catch with the squishy ball.

Our two little emperors.
Which brother is tackling which? (Actually, John-Nathan was trying to dress Jack.)
We went to this restaurant tonight with our travel group. Not a good move. We were there long enough to order, receive our food, take a few bites, then ask for boxes and our check. We knew ahead of time that it would be a stretch for our family, with Julianna not feeling well and Jack being overly tired. We really just needed to be back in our room again tonight.
Riding the escalator up to the restaurant. It went downhill from there. But the Lord is good and He is our help. The children are asleep, and we hope to follow them soon.

Great pictures tell the story. J, hope you feel better soon.
Jn & Jz look like the norm for brothers-wrestling-or trying to help dress. Both the same. Shopping has never been the most fun for this family--tired or not. To go boxes or always good. Love to all.

Hi Guys! Loved the "Emperors!" 2 handsome boys indeed! Praying the "Empress" will be feeling stronger by now...& have had some good rest. Praying for endurance for each of you as your hearts just long to be home but your bodies must remain yet a little longer in China! Thank you for the continual updates...we are loving them. "When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done....our Father's FULL giving is only begun. For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth....and giveth....and giveth!"
Love seeing the pictures and story each morning. I hope Julianna feels better.
Daniel
