Our guests were Jenny and her dad, and Dawnmarie and Steve, all friends from church. We played a game of Apples to Apples after dinner.

I love that picture of you and Christopher. So precious. Looks like it was a fun easter at your house!!

I like your green jacket. But am confused why there are fall leaves on the ground in the spring!
Kelly said…
Heidi, it's because our backyard has not been landscaped and just blends in with the greenbelt/woods behind our house. So those leaves are the ground covering, basically year round. We'll add grass after the pool is in.

Looks like you had a fun time for Easter! Ours was nice, but I had a TON of homework, so I had to be somewhat antisocial and finish it while Grandma and Grandpa were over.

I love the splash of green in your pictures. You guys are a good looking family! Fun that you could have friends from the ward share your Easter celebration. It looks like you had a good time. We miss seeing you every week!

I love your family picture and the colors y'all are wearing!!! I love matchy-matchy!!!! Looks like you had a very fun Easter and probably a more pleasant egg hunting experience than I did! ;)

That is a good family picture. I really liked your green jacket and shoes at church!
The picture of you in the apron with your son - I can almost taste the apple pie, seriously. So cute. What a fun gathering; I love the apples to apples game and so do my kids. And I LOVE the red robin/austin picture. You're so clever. :)

What a darling family! And I'm thinking that those strawberry cups that Lindsay is holding are looking quite scrumptious!

You are so festive. I love it. I like your family photos and how exciting that you had so many guests. I am sure that was a fun game of apples to apples. I feel like in our house we always get a little out of hand in that game.

Fabulous picture of you and Christopher. I loved the bird picture too, it is so pretty. I think I will have Morgan paint it. She painted me a scissor tailed fly catcher over the weekend and I told her it would be neat to have a series of bird pictures from her.

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....
