On Learning Chinese

"To acquire the Chinese language is a work for men with bodies of brass, lungs of steel, heads of hope, eyes of eagles, hearts of apostles, memories of angels, and lives of Methusaleh."

William Milne, missionary to China, 1813

Happy 1st Birthday, Keira!


Here are a few pictures from Keira's birthday weekend...



Helping Mama clean our apartment before the party.  "Sweeping" is one of her favorite activities.

Opening packages from grandparents!


Keira's gluten-free, sugar-free birthday cake.  (Actually, it tasted pretty good!)

First time playing with bubbles--thanks Caty and Dillon!

Fun with friends!
All those new toys, and the cardboard box is still a favorite.  :)

Thanks to everyone, near and far, who helped make Keira's birthday special!
