More February

We celebrated Chinese New Year!

Keelan got a new job!  He's working at Welch Equipment Company, where Jim works, as a fork truck technician. 

 We are so proud of him!

New uniforms.

And he bought himself a new (to him) truck!

Pastor Josh became the new Senior High Ministry pastor at Calvary Aurora.   This is the Saturday night group of teens.  Justin's in the middle - can you see him?

Nana and Tessa.  💗

Caylie's 3rd grade class performing a dance for Taiwan International Day at GVA-DC.

 More EHS basketball games with the awesomest pep band around!  They are amazing, and so loud in that gym!  I really bet visitors come in and go, "WHAT is this??!"  😀😀 

We like to get MOD Pizza on Saturdays before Daddy goes to his School of Ministry class at church.  Nom nom!

Papa and Elias.

 And check this out!  Elias had his first haircut!  

Cutie face!!

Tessa and her Auntie Caylie wearing matching kitty shirts at church.

Caylie turned 10 on February 14. 

 We went to eat at East Cafe Chinese restaurant (her usual pick!) and then home for presents and cake!

Happy Birthday, Taylor and Caylie!  We love you!

January Happenings

Our fence was fixed.  😄

Caylie got several inches cut off her long hair.

Brittany ran cameras at church (Calvary Aurora).  She's also learned how to do Switcher for the video feed.

Sometimes it snowed.

Tessa and Caylie on a sunny sledding day.

Tessa and her snow friend.

Caylie opened a school for her animals.  They are a rowdy bunch.  We can often hear them laughing and carrying on.

Samuel went to his second Jr. High Winter Camp with Calvary Aurora.  This is his buddy Jamar, who serves in the Junior High Ministry.

I got to have lunch with my friend Nicole!  Nicole was instrumental in our adoption for Samuel, and met him a couple of times in China before we did.

Elias and Benji became friends.

Samuel went to "Raptor Welcome Night" at Eaglecrest High School.  He'll be a freshman soon!

Samuel continued to play 8th grade basketball for Sky Vista Middle School.  His team lost all of their games, but he had fun and we had fun watching him!

And the awesomest pep band around - the Eaglecrest High School Pep Band - performed at many basketball games!  LOTS of fun!!
