Poppa's coming to visit!

I'm sitting here, both kids taking naps, Ben out on a bike ride (in our beautiful eternal spring city), and I'm thinking I should nap too.  But I need to update you guys!  


Can you believe that THIS Thursday is Thanksgiving?!  I CANNOT believe it.  Crazy.  We are SO PUMPED, because in less than 2 weeks Ben's dad "Poppa" is coming to visit!  We are just beside ourselves!  This will be the first family member to come see us on this side of the world.  Not only are we just excited to see him, but also excited to give him a glimpse of our life over here.  It's so different, that you really can't fully understand until you are actually here.  Also, man, it's tough living over here so far from our family, specially around the holidays.  So, him visiting is bring us a little of home away from home.  :)


We are also preparing for a team coming in mid-December, who will be here for about 10 days.  This is such a blessing and we are really looking forward to them coming and coming along side of our work here.  


Braidynn & Aben are doing great.  Growing non-stop.  Braidynn's Chinese is incredible and I continue to be amazed by her.  Aben is almost 5 months and has started grabbing toys, babbles non-stop, smiles non-stop, and laughing.  One of my favorite things right now is watching Aben watch his big sis and listening to him laugh at her dancing and jumping around.  Braidynn loves to play with Aben, and tells me that she will take care of him for me if I need to do something.  ha!    


Let me leave you with some recent pics of the kids.
