There shall be showers of blessing . . .

Gotta love packages! Rachel has the routine down pat now: See a package, run to the kitchen, carefully get a steak knife for mommy or daddy, get BLUE ikea knife for herself, safely carry them to the living room and wait for big strong daddy to bring the excitment to us so we can OPEN IT!!!

After their visit, Aunt Jo and Aunt Becky realized that there were a few things we were not able to get here in china . . . or well, we could get some of them, but in much smaller sizes/amounts than in the states, or they were tripple the price you pay in the states, or they just didn't quite look like what we are used to . . . so to bless us, some wonderful thnigs were packed into two boxes and sent from some dear friends in TN.

We loved all the hair dongxi you sent, aunt jo . . . she can still use them with her four year old haircut, but we did send some to the orphanage too . . . we don't have to put her hair up as ofen, but it's nice to have matching pony-holders and barrettes when we DO put it up!

And when you come back, Aunt Becky :), we will have nice big ice cubes for you to put in your tea and pepsi! Thanks! It really is nice every once in awhile to have ice cubes that don't melt as soon as you pour warm liquid over them! I'm sure our American guests will appreciate it!!
