17th Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our 17th Anniversary! The day before, we went to a Brazilian grill called "Brasa." We loved it; it was phenomenal. It was like a better version of "Ahona."

We were very busy on our anniversary, so the next day we went to see the movie "UP."
We really loved it.

It was a great anniversary.

Miriam's Recital

Today, Miriam had a lot of fun at her dance recital.

She played two roles:

1. As a tortoise (she is the second person in the green)



2. As a car (in the tie-dye)

Strawberry Picking

One of our favorite things to do during this time of year is to go strawberry picking. This year our favorite farm, Phillip's, is back after being closed for two years! ☺☻

Here are some of the photos!

Gotcha Day!!!

On March 30th we celebrated my 10th gotcha day!! It was a very special day. I got a beautiful necklace from my parents. It was a necklace with my Chinese name on it. I love it! My Chinese name means sunny spring.

We went to Chinatown, a Chinese buffet, with my family and grandparents. We had a very nice lunch together and ate a lot!!

AWANA Olympics

Yesterday, we had at the AWANA Olympics at Catawba Spring Cristian Church. In the morning, Miriam and the sparks played games, while Bethany, Carl, and the T&T'ers did Bible Quizzing. Miriam did quite well in the games. In speed quizzing (where there are ten question and you buzz in like Jeopardy), Carl and another girl on the team, Amanda, quizzed out (answered three speed quizzing questions correctly), while Bethany got two questions correct! In paddle quizzing (where you answer a multiple choice question by choosing an "A" paddle, "B" paddle, or "C" paddle), Bethany and Carl both got 10/10 (100%), while another kid, Bob, got 8/10. They quizzed in book three and won the trophy! Also, the other kids in their club won book 2 and got 2nd in book one.

In T&T game time, we won in one heat of balloon relay, and bean-bag relay. We also won the marathon (Bethany won it!) and the sprint relay. We won more but that is all that I remember.
