Josiah

Well, I couldn't leave Josiah out. He is the sweetest boy and the best helper. He is so polite and such a great older brother. While jumping on the trampoline a few days ago, I overheard him tell his friends to "be careful because his baby was on the trampoline with them". He is so intelligent and he learns so quickly. He reminds us of all the house rules and keeps everyone in line. He also has teh best snse of humor. We love you Siah.

Simon aka Syms, Simees

This kid is so awesome, he deserves his own post. He is the funniest, happiest, craziest kid. We thought we had our hands full with Josiah, but Simon blows him out of the water. What's so awesome about his kid? Well, for starters, he can make any room look like there was a bar fight in 0-3 seconds flat. He is the most destructive, curious, determined confident little kid I know. He teases everyone everywhere and is great at giving his big brother hugs. His favorite activity is hanging upside down from his toes. He gets such a kick out of that. He loves to sing, dance, and read his books. We love you sweet Simon.

Some fun days around town

Unfortunately our internet has been a little quirky, so I have to type as quickly as I can and attach my pictures as quickly as possible, so you are going to get a general paragraph describing these pictures.

Some of these are from when Bart and Joanne came to visit us (which was awesome)We went to Longqing Gorge which is a beautiful gorge in the summer and in the winter they turn it into a beautiful ice festival with all sorts of ice sculptures and houses. We also went down to Wangfujing Street where you can eat any insect on a stick. I think Collin's nephews would REALLY enjoy that street. We also visited the Great Wall.
One of these is the first snow of the winter, and I think I have one of Simon and Josiah together.
