Sunday snapshot: {Joy comes in the evening}

Tonight we took the three oldest kids to a farmstead for the anniversary celebration of a local house of prayer...not our church, but friends who are dear to us.  We missed the hayride (as Princess Firecracker reminded us the entire drive home..."Missed the hayride!  Missed the hayride!"), but nonetheless had a lovely time eating soup, chatting with friends, chasing kids in the dark, and roasting various things over the fire.






And that wasn't all.  Picked up Shu from my parents' house where he reveled in the one-on-one attention.  We've had two really good days in a row...thank you, seriously, to those of you who pray for us.  Shared some quality time together before putting the kids to bed, and there was JOY in our home and in the heart of one little Chinese boy!  More, Lord!

That is so wonderful!! OMG!- Shu looks so BIG in that last picture!! :) I'm so happy that you were able to get some nice quality time with your other kiddos, while Shu enjoyed being doted on! We all need special time, whether with our loved one or apart (whatever works best in the given situation!) - it helps to replenish the soul! :)
Have a wonderful week!!

So beautiful! Look at his smiling face! And goodness...how he is growing! I don't think I've seen him in a photo with someone else lately (or maybe didn't notice), but he looks so big! :)
