Not much new

Still no updates or news on the court process... We did send 2 packages of letters and photos off to Kai Wei. We asked friends to translate them for us so he can read them to himself and they don't need to translate them there. It was neat to see everything we had written put into Chinese.




Last weekend I was VERY happy to see some of the kids from CMCH again. We went to their concert in Brooklyn. We were towing our pop-up since we'd spent the weekend at my grandparent's in Connecticut and we drove around several blocks looking for parking and we actually found a space less than a block away that fit both our expedition and the pop-up! What an answer to prayer! Jonathan said I was like a smile machine- I was sitting on an aisle seat and as the kids filed past me on their way out between seats, they lit up with smiles as they saw me. Of course, I was smiling from ear to ear too. They did an EXCELLENT job. It's amazing how many songs they memorize. They performed 18 songs (I think) that evening, and they don't perform the same songs at each performace. They use music when they practice, but not when they perform. Most of their songs are in Chinese, but they also performed in Latin and if I remember correctly, the rooster song is in Cantonese, not Mandarin. After they were done, I stayed for awhile to take photos and hand out some of the group photos I had brought with me. I loved being surrounded by Chinese again.


And here, for your viewing pleasure, size comparisons. Daniel says, "I'll have to say "hi little sister!" and he looks up above his head and waves.
