This year it was Sarah’s turn to put the star on top of the tree!


The nice thing about our children getting older is that they start taking on the responsibilities of the decoration. Below you see Jaxin(left) and Eddy hanging some decorations!

Matthew, Shirley (pictured with Michelle) and Hazel (pictured above center) are children we worked with in Gongyi and have come to work for us now that they are out of college. Hazel is currently recovering from a injury that has caused her to be wheelchair bound. She does physical therapy and in this picture she said she wanted to be standing.
