A lovely weekend



We had such a fun and relaxing weekend. On Saturday morning Jason took the boys to sign Jonah up for T-ball while Hannah and I went to a fun Fortune Cookies get together. Fortune Cookies is a group we recently joined. It is a group of ladies that all have children from China. We all live locally and are connected from, homeschool and other avenues. It was a great party. I learned how to make Chinese noodles :) It was so great to recount our journeys and give each other advice on the many things these sweet babies face. I look forward to the next get together. Later that afternoon. Our parents were nice enough to watch the blessings while Jason and I had a date night. We spent our date night at a fun restaurant called the Boiling Crab and then went to the chinese market. I wanted to get ingredients for the Chinese noodles I learned how to make and some other fun things. It was our first time going to a Chinese market here in the states. It was so much fun but made us really long to be back in China. We have big dreams of partnering with other organizations and working with orphanages there but will see if God has those same plans for us. We just really have a heart for China and the millions of orphans that are sitting in orphanages not being held or told they are loved. Later that evening we had a fun skype double date with our friends who are in China. It was so fun to see the snow outside there apartment and to hear there voices. So Thankful for good friends and family who give us date nights :)
