More pictures

We are fast approaching 2 months with our Jack Zanzhi and 4 years with our John-Nathan Sheng. How very grateful we are for these two sons and our lovely, hard-working daughter, of course!


Our boys!


Julianna with her very first pay check. 
She is also a licensed driver now! 

Since it was Father's Day this past month, we have a number of photos with one of the BEST Papas around.


Tickles and giggles

Need a car wash? Great workers here.




Pooltime at G and G's


Jack continues to enjoy the water. We think swim lessons will be in his near future!


For my Grandpa, Great-Uncle, Aunt and Uncle, cousin, and Coach Chizik's wife (she visited me while at MBHOH)...as you can see I am contemplating going to Auburn ;).

The "It" in this picture is momma. Playing peek-a-boo through the hair.


Loves the hand-me-down monkey towel from brother. Super cuddly and cute Jack!

Love these eyes! 


Carole Ann Downing visits us. She went to MBHOH in 2010 and saw Jack as a baby. Such a blessing!


Another musician :)

Two weeks home!

Well, for as much as we have tried to be "low key" during the past two weeks, much has happened. Many of the details of life we will just keep to ourselves.  :) But in general, we are all adjusting and things are going as they should. We are grateful for those who continue to pray for our family of five, for those who have provided food and meals, and for those who have given our older kids some time away---truly a help! Jack is doing well and is such fun to be around. Still working out some sleep issues, but it will come, and as posted in the last blog, "igbok."

Peter finished up his work requirements and is off for the summer, though he still works! May we say there is always a summer time adjustment in our household?...our teacher friends will understand that! :)  He is certainly a great help around here and I am grateful for the Lord's timing in this adoption allowing for this extra "adult presence" as we get used to having a toddler boy around! 

Julianna is officially employed at Chick-Fil-A, only 5 minutes away from our house. She is excited and we are excited for her! She is a terrific big sister to both her brothers and is a tremendous help around here...I'll miss here when she is at work! 

John-Nathan is enjoying big brother status. He and Jack have enjoyed the outdoors...swing set, sand, and water. John-Nathan is continuing his swim lessons at Lakeshore and is quite a fish in Grandma and Grandpa's pool. 

Jack loves to go outside, and he enjoyed his first introduction to the pool at G and G's. He has no fear; he is ready to jump right in! We are working on routine for him, and really routine for all of us would be good. Having some medical appointments thrown in doesn't help routine, but we have done those, as well. There are more of those in the coming months...all just part of it...remember it well with John-Nathan. 


Some of the many ways he sleeps.





Fun with the Plasma Car--all three?!


Master Mind... we start them off early :)!

How he got his strike.  We all would have liked to use this contraption.


Tired out!
