Fun Foto Friday #8

February 9, 2014

It happened!!! I forgot to do a Fun Foto Friday on Friday. So this will be a Fun Foto Sunday :). Snow! Judah has discovered the endless fun this amazing thing called snow can bring. He constantly wants to go outside and play with it and he keeps on taking his gloves off when he’s […]

Elias Update: 4 Months

February 6, 2014

Our little Elias is 4 months old! It’s crazy to think that there are already 4 NEW BABIES on campus who are younger than Baby Li-Li. We New Tribers like to have babies, apparently! Here are some of Eli’s favorite things: 1. JUDAH — he loves his big brother already (and the love is quite […]

Life in Pictures

February 3, 2014

Here are some pictures to give you a glimpse into our life over the last couple of weeks! They’re all picture of the boys… no surprise there :). I just love capturing the sweet moments of brotherhood that we have been blessed to witness with Judah and Baby Li-Li (Judah’s nickname for Elias)… ENJOY! 1. […]

Fun Foto Friday #7

January 31, 2014

Anybody want to guess who the girl in this picture is? John showed this picture to his parents and introduced the girl as our sponsored child from Paraguay. But that wasn’t quite truthful. It’s me! As a 3-year-old! With toilet paper jewelry around my neck! And a haircut that makes it quite obvious that my […]

Fun Foto Friday #6

January 24, 2014

I never in my life thought that I would have my name and the word “solder” in the same sentence. Then again, just two weeks ago, I didn’t even know what soldering was or how to spell it (and that’s saying something). But here it is: I learned how to solder. For reals! One of […]

We had a great time spending Christmas break with our family in Spokane! I especially loved seeing Judah connect with all of his cousins and having the 3 new babies meet. Here’s a picture from our last night in Spokane with 7 of the 12 Anyan cousins! Could NOT get them all to look at […]

Motherhood Musings

January 14, 2014

You know how people say that they don’t remember what life without kids was like? Well, I have forgotten many things over the years of my life, but I surely haven’t forgotten that. I remember when we would head out late at night to get an Oreo blizzard from Dairy Queen. Or when we would […]

This Fun Foto Friday is a veeeeeeery special one because it celebrates a wonderful journey that started exactly 2 years ago… Two years ago, this is what I did around this time of day: And here’s what John did a little later that day: And here’s what we took home even later that day: HAPPY […]

With all the Christmas and holiday excitement these days, I almost forgot that it’s Friday and time for another picture! Here are the TWO chosen pictures for this week: 1. Elias got to meet his Nana and Papa for the first time! Can you tell they’re happy :)? 2. The three newest Anyan cousins […]

Fun Foto Friday #2

December 20, 2013

Time for Fun Foto Friday! I just can’t get over how time flies when you have kids… it’s SO cliché but it’s SO true. I remember when Judah was just a little blueberry in my belly, when he came out all chubby and Asian looking, when he started smiling and laughing, and when he was just […]
