Daniel's video


I made this video shortly after I made Kai's and Sarah-Grace's, but I got side-tracked (or tired of waiting forever for videos to load) and never shared it.  Here's Daniels video. Photos are from spring 2007-December 2008.  Enjoy.  :)

IT'S FINAL!

We heard today that the judge in Taiwan has made his final ruling!  We are scrambling to make sure all the paperwork is in order here and half way around the world.  We are hoping to travel in the next few weeks.  Please keep our family in your prayers!

Spring Fever

Some of the things we've been doing to combat the winter doldrums-

Making and eating crepes- even without the Eiffel tower in the background there is something supremely satisfying about a crepe.







Cooking delicious mealsKai with the dinner he and Dad cooked for the family. Now Kai thinks he has bragging rights as the best cook in the house.













And having "good-bye winter doldrums" parties.


Task one: Blindfolded paintgun target shooting

Task 2: Using GPS coordinates, locate your first clue.


"Go to the place where one cousin works and ask a friend for a package"


On the way to the Sport's emporium where Erin works.



The package: tokens, an envelope with the message, "you must win 25 tokens to open", and Task 3: the 2 youngest members of each team needed to climb the rock wall.

Hmm, I missed taking any photos during task 4: a scavenger hunt through Wal-Mart, including a run-in with a rather unfriendly dressing room attendant and a mad dash through the rain to get the grocery cart guy's signature.

Task 5: Bigger and Better.

Starting item: wind up Easter toys.

Exchanged along the way for: a box of substitue sugar, a Dora balloon, a bag of peanuts, a broken stick vacuum cleaner, a golf-themed chip and dip tray and probably a few more crazy things I'm forgetting.

Trades we wouldn't accept: 2 cute kids and one dog. :)


The returning teams:

Team One: everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink


Team 2: A brand new wok and some decidedly not brand new video games and consoles from the good-old-days.
