yeah!

Well, thank you to Chris, my wonderful husband, who figured out that while Safari (the main Mac internet browser) will not let you upload pictures to Blogger, you can download Mozilla and it will! So we are back to convenient blogging! Nana (my mom) left today after almost two weeks with us. I was sad as I left the airport today, but also very thankful. She has been able to come twice this year- what a treat! She again brought the "Fun Bag" (see posts around Bennett's birth in September for explanation), which had daily treats and presents for both boys. Austin had to learn to share this time- it was only for him every OTHER day :). Nana is very creative and I learned some creative ideas for crafts. She is also very patient and a great servant and kept the boys for three days while Chris and I went away for the first time in a LONG time. That trip will be for another post though. As I write this Mom is on a plane, so I am praying for a safe and comfortable flight. Chris is gone again till Wednesday but then will be home for all of June. Here are some highlights with Nana- we have tons of cute photos and now I have the ability to post them and a computer that stays home all the time. More blogging to come to make up for my recent absence.

Bye Nana! Thanks for all your hugs and kisses. This is Austin hugging Mom before she got on the plane.

And one last squeeze for Bennett.

Coloring Nemo - a Fun Bag item of course.


I love this picture - this was just after opening Sunday's Fun Bag- always a big highlight of the day.
This is Austin and Bennett's first official matching outfit. I used to think I would never do that when I was a parent, but, well, here I am doing it. They are pretty cute in it too. The funny thing is after church Sunday this random Chinese man and woman came up to me with a nice digital SLR camera asking if they could take some pictures of the boys. Apparently they are doing advertisements for Meng Niu, one of the big milk companies here. They took a bunch of pictures and asked if we are free for a photo shoot on June 1. They are supposed to email them to me. I said I would think about it...but I have been wanting to get the boys' pictures taken professionally, so maybe this is a free chance? But I don't know- I will let you know.

I love the picture of the boys in the matching outfit! So cute :) And Bennett looks more like a little boy here too.
