There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

MAY 8, 2014: A NEW LOCAL WE MARKET, HOT POT FOR LUNCH, and DINNER OUT WITH THE FAMILY

A LOCAL WET MARKET, HOT POT FOR LUNCH and DINNER OUT WITH THE FAMILY
MAY 8, 2014

Brother Hiatt helped us try to get Green Bike cards today, but we didn't have the correct documents.  He then took us to another wet market and we loved seeing the local things there.  We finally saw some real China today!!!  We then headed to Old Town and tried to fix my poor iphone and then we met Paula Hiatt and had lunch at a hot pot.  It was a fun day of adventure.

HOT POT WITH THE HIATTS in OLD TOWN



My first try eating boiled pigeon eggs.  They are good in hot pot!
You make your own dipping sauces!  Yummy!

A beautiful scarf that Amy received from Paula.  Amy stayed a couple of nights with the Hiatt kids while Seth and Paula had a get away!



Dad decided that he would like to have a tradition here in China where we go out to dinner on Saturday nights.  Our first night out was dinner to a restaurant that has become Mom's favorite very quickly!!!  We have no idea what it is called so we call it "The Family Restaurant."
