Some Photos...

Just a moment to post some photos of our recent days...

First up, we were delighted and so blessed that our "Butterfly" in the center of the photo below, arrived from University just 48 hours before the boys came home.

It's too bad that none of her younger siblings think a thing of her...

Above: It has been pretty difficult to get a family photo in recent years with everyone looking/smiling at the camera...this shot, taken after we signed the final adoption papers, proves that we will likely never get another family photo with everyone looking in the right direction!

Below: We celebrated our signing of the papers with our dear friend here at the hotel where we stayed during our first two adoption trips...when we were only visiting Here...but now...as residents, we just drove over for a quick lunch...


Below: Graham and The Bug connect at the table

Below: Silas is rolling with some new family members!

Above: This smile from Graham was directed at ME! Wow! One of the first I saw...and today, he gave me a kiss on the cheek...sweet moments!
Below: Graham let me help him drink his soup...actually, he sat on my lap for the entire meal...so I had no choice!



Above: You can see a bit of Silas' smile...
Below: Silas' is chill on his Daddy's lap...

Below: Bub shows off his unconventional style...man, I love that boy!

We still had to get our two oldest kindergartners graduated on Friday the 11th, too! Adopted the boys in the morning and then attended the Graduation ceremony in the afternoon!

The Kids performed in the graduation ceremony...below Brownie shows us how much she LOVES to dance!

Above: Potato (far left) was the "wizard" in the Wizard of Oz play...she did a great job with her lines and you could have heard her in the States I'm sure with her booming voice! As they transitioned the scenes, they sang "This Little Light of Mine"... that Potato certainly lets her little light shine!
Below: After performing a formal dance with their Kindergarten classmates, they recited poetry in Chinese and English...

I'm sure that this amounted to too many photos...but, we must do this for the Grandmas! ;)
Our cup runneth over...
