how to get china grandma and grandpa upset?




Three tree-climbing GODWIN BOYS.. the grandma and grandpa came running to me. with all the language --cantonese and body language--that they could get out in 3 seconds.. "boys will fall, boys will fall, get hurt, hurt, get them down, get them down" I understood exactly what they were saying.

My boys "we werent high Mom"... well, in china climb low like chinese children would!!

The park was so much fun. The locals started gathering around me trying to communicate. I think I communicated better with them than I do with my husband!!
Grandpa was so happy and proud acting that i had 4 boys!!!!! and a girl!!! that makes 5!!

We even gave each other high 5....

The intrigue they had of my family was amazing... fun to exchange with them.. i finally pulled out photos on my iphone.....they thought andy was so good looking especially the women....and andrew-they loved how big and handsome he was.. fun time..

andi liked it too. i told one of the mom's, i thought andi was called yaya. so the mom spoke to andi and andi responded.. the mom told her to go down the big slide!! which andi did.
she really seems to enjoy the playground and climbing... tomboy on our hands? looks like it.
no fear of climbing and sliding.. almost got her to laugh doing it..

The layers are coming off everyday... her personality.. it feels like she has always been with us. she is just one of us...... period......

some believe there is a God (well, our God) by looking at creation and its design... that "wins" them over logically.. but i am telling you.... the stories that are interwoven here in adoption are clear evidence there is our all knowing, all creating, all loving, all good, all gracious, King of Kings...... creation is nothing to this!! this is big.....

So cool, that our story, godwins, is in God's story...

  1. amazing how God can knit you (us) together overnight..just like you (we) had always been together. that has been one of our prayers...which we have joyfully brought to the throne. day by day her layers will continue to come off....it's a beautiful thing...full of wonder...a reflection of our own hearts. i love hearing how God is using this to awaken your heart even more to his goodness, faithfulness, love!
    much love,
