May Holiday!!! 五一劳动节!!!

DSC_0080

All of our children got a few days off for the May Labor Day Holiday! This has been the first time all of our children have been off together since the Chinese New Year. We usually take our family photo at Easter but had to wait until all of us were together. We also had a few extra long time volunteers and close friends join in this year making it even extra special.
借着五一劳动节我们所有的孩子有几天的假期!这也是自春节假期以来全部孩子们的小长假。通常每年的全家照都是在复活节期间照的,由于复活节还人没有聚齐的缘故,才拖到了这次的五一时间。同时还有几位志愿者的到来,让我们的这个假期更加特别。

Michelle and I are extremely blessed to have such a great support team helping day in and day out. These women (and two more who could not make it) hold a very special place in our hearts. Some serve as housemothers, teachers, cook and translator;
they all do a fantastic job!
我和笑笑非常感恩我们有一群支持我们的人。这些女性们在我们的心中有一种特别的存在,(如果不是她们我们两个不可能做到这些)这些有的是我们的阿姨,老师,厨师和翻译;

Our children are getting so big, we currently have 36 children, 21 handsome sons and 15 beautiful daughters!!!

We had a great holiday with everyone. Some kicked back and relaxed, some played volleyball, dodgeball and basketball, some enjoyed listening to music and others just reading a book.
这个假期每个人都过的非常开心。有些孩子利用假期时间放松,有些玩排球,碰打球和篮球,还有听音乐,看书的。
