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!

SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 -- FALL FESTIVAL, MOONCAKES, AND LUNCH WITH LILLY

FALL FESTIVAL, MOON CAKES, 
AND LUNCH WITH LILLY
September 8, 2015

This weekend was the Fall Festival and is a time that the Chinese eat a lot of "moon cakes."  The moon cakes are interesting, but aren't my favorite.  Rebecca really like them and they were fun to try!

It was quite a treat to have Lilly and her husband and their daughter Sophie come visit us in Suzhou and take us to lunch.  Dad and left for the USA for the funeral of Joe White so we missed him.  We enjoyed visiting with Lilly and reconnecting with her.  Lilly was our Ayi when we lived in 
Shanghai 11 years ago.  She became a dear friend!


Lilly brought us moon cakes and Richard also brought us moon cakes.  Richard told us that there were ice cream moon cakes but we never found those.









The "real" Rachel and Bethany!
