Questions and answers:
Don't judge us by our children's theology:
Will god ever die?
No, he lives forever
Why did God make you?
God made all things.. from his own glory.
I was made to…
…glorify God and he loves me and takes care of God
Can you see God?
‘no I cannot he always sees God’
Has God ever had a beginning?
‘no, he lives forever'
The First parents of God are the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit

Miscellaneous August videos
Sophia and Bella dancing.
Sometimes Bella makes me laugh and does crazy stuff or says funny things so I say jokingly: 'you're crazy'. This time she said it right back.

Kid speak
Sophia:
The world has a lot of bad in it. (after hearing a story of someone being beaten to death. She overheard our helper telling this to me in Chinese)
Mama, am I clean on the outside and dirty on the inside? (after reading about Jesus telling the pharisees that they were indeed clean on the outside and dirty on the inside)
While daddy was gone I smelled his pillow and it smelled like him and I missed him.
(when we told her that a lot of people don't believe in Jesus)
So they don't have Easter?
The mean girl was only mean to me two times today.
I am friends with the mean girl now. I asked her if we were friends and she said yes.
Bella's phrases of late:
Bella now loves to use the word 'because' : the first half of her sentences makes sense, then she adds 'because' and the second half makes no sense at all (to us).
We saw a big earthworm outside, mama..
I call this bear inch bear...because….like inch worm and inch bear (okay, this one made a little sense)
Let me tell you something
I need to tell you something
Know what momma?
Let me show you something
In just a minute momma.
Wait just a moment.
(is your eye better?) Better enough.
(when Tobin cries) I am here. I am here. OR Daddy's here. (this is to comfort him).
Hugs for Bella and Sophia (after listening to Poppy and CC say this at the end of a recorded book)
Thank you God for Poppy and CC (after listening to the whole book 'Thank you God for everything' read and recorded by Poppy and CC)

Road Trip part I
Our bags were packed, snacks were made. I had spent the weekend making cinnamon rolls, granola bars, and banana bread. Lists were checked off. Our plan was to get up early Monday morning of the 10th and be on the road by 7 a.m. to get to our destination five hours away. I was so excited about getting away with friends and being able to visit friends too....
And then. Sunday afternoon my stomach began to really rumble, nausea set in. We canceled our Sunday afternoon village trip and waited to see what my body would do. Indeed the stomach bug wreaked havoc on my system for a good 24 hours. Obviously we did not get on the road that day. We postponed the trip exactly 24 hours. I was so thankful I recovered enough to go! We ended up having a great time.
We stayed at a really cool place, small with grassy places for the kids to run. The weather was perfect. The atmosphere cozy.
this was before our trip, the girls playing in our laundry basket.
No, it was not cold enough for the hat. It was 7 a.m. and we enjoyed banana bread on the balcony.
Little Big Man
K and I hung out with the kids in the mornings...
We walked around the town....
The girls love little dogs. Our hotel had two big golden retrievers that were so sweet. BUT they were a little big, and one was only 8 months old so she did not listen very well. The girls were scared quite a bit, and I don't know how many pieces of napkin, paper, etc. that I dug out of its' mouth.
If you ask Sophia she says she loved the dogs and mentions them a lot when talking about our trip. But she was scared more often than not and had to talked into standing still and not running from them, she did get better by the end of our stay.
eating at a nearby restaurant
One day David and K and other friends took the older kids on a chair lift up a mountain to view the city.
we went out to explore in the evenings
Our friends brought their helper, and she was a big help! She loved holding Tobin.
Bella tried on some friends' new hats
Caleb joined in the fun
After we spent a few days at the lodge our family went to visit some of our best friends in a nearby city.
