I can't say that I'm bored, because I have 101 things that need to be done, but I've been wanting to mess with my blog for awhile now, so there was no better time than today. Plus, my friend Julie, changed her blog recently and I really liked her design! Thanks Julie for getting my act in gear!!
It is a rainy Sunday here in Tianjin. We went to church this morning and finally met a family that I had been wanting to meet. Last May when we were on our "look see" trip, we sat with a couple at the Beijing airport. I learned from chatting with them that their son and daughter-in-law and 2 granddaughters had recently moved to Tianjin. The other day on a trip to Beijing with friends, we were talking about a lady they know and they said her name. We figured out that this woman was the daughter-in-law of the couple we met!! Today I finally got to meet her - it is a small world even in China!! After church we went with Kevin and Jen to an authentic Chinese restaurant that is famous for their "ribs"! It was delicious, but of course, the boys decided they were not going to behave so our lunch was a little stressful! And so is the life with little ones!! I just hope they get their naughty behavior out of their system before we board our 13 hour plane ride!!!
Hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday!!

Favorite Quotes from the kids!
- Ethan explained to me what private parts are called in Chinese, "Mommy, in Chinese, the girl part is the target and the boy part is the laser gun." Umm, first off, that is not Chinese and second you are only 4 - where did you learn that??!!
- Cooper said to me last night after his tub, "Tell daddy I didn't crap in the tub!!" Thanks Danny for the vocab lessons!
- Ellie's best friend Minori came over after school. She hadn't seen Ellie for a week because El was sick, and I heard her say, "I missed you"! So sweet!!
- Last night I told Ethan that mommy was going to cook dinner because Ayi had the night off. He said, "Oh good, does that mean if I don't like it I can spit it out?"!!!
- Ethan once again discussing his teacher...Mommy asked, "Eens, does Miss Jolie Ann have a boyfriend?" Eens, "Yes, mommy." Surprised he knew this information, mommy asked, "Do you know who her boyfriend is?" Eens replies, "Duh mommy, it's me!!!"
- Ethan talking to Aunt Steph at the wedding, "Where did you get your dress?" from a 4 year olds mouth - too funny!!
- Ethan talking about one of his teachers said, "She's the most beautifulest."
- After Ethan fell on the sidewalk, Cooper came over concerned and asked, "What happened honey?" he looked at Eensie's knee and said, "Be careful honey, okay!"
- Eensie is looking lovingly at his stuffed horse and says, "I'm going to stuff you in the toilet!"
- Ellie sticks her tongue out at me and when she knows I saw it and am about to send her to time-out, she says, "I was just stretching my tongue!"
- Grandma and Grandpa were getting ready for their annual trip to Cooperstown, NY and a very upet Eensie asked, "Why aren't you going to Ethantown?"
- During an argument, Ellie yelled at Eens, "Well, you're not made in China and everything else is!"
