Yes, Week 6!
This week we introduced bicycles. And Shane introduced skateboarding!

| He's showing off his new green wheels! |
Joy is hanging on to Shane and hoping not to fall off the bike.
Jake wants to ride also, but as you see, we need to get a bike his size. So far he's been doing very well on the green scooter we have. I'll try to get a picture of him on that for Week 7!
Joy is now understanding how much I use the big calendar for planning our days and weeks. She is taking her own notes to figure out exactly how many days of school she has left until summer.
Joy (turning 11 on the 25th) and Grace (turning 14 on the 18th) have birthdays this month!
And Happy Birthday to Tom and my mother! We celebrated Tom's birthday on March 3rd!
We discovered through our Chinese friend that Jake is interested in the Bible.
He's asking questions! He also started wearing a cross necklace to school this week. It was the one that I meant to pack for China, but forgot. It's been neat seeing him wear it, when he really doesn't even understand who Jesus is yet.

| This is our 1st Sunday Fellowship at church. Thanks Miss LaNita for taking our picture! I needed some lipstick. Oh well, remember we were eating. |

Some folks are asking how Jake and Joy are liking our food? Well, the funny thing that we've found out is that they like Spanish dishes. If you're a family with a new Chinese child in your home, I recommend trying out burritos or chimichangas! Jake and Joy also love American frozen pizza! I'm praising God for this! :)
I want to say a special thank you to Mrs Norris, Joy's teacher, for giving her the pink teddy bear this week! She went to sleep with it on Thurs night! I don't think she's ever had her own teddy bear. When she woke up on Friday morning, she brought it to breakfast with her. :)
Thank you again to those who are continuing to read our blog and are praying for our family! It really means the world to us! Of course, "the Big Change" is still happening, but I'm happy to report that the adjustment phase has been better this week!

so glad to hear things are going well, Amy! Love the pics! :)
Hi Amy! I have an extra bike of Mairin's if you would like it for Jake. It is not girlie.. it is silver and blue and in great shape. She got a new one this Christmas so this one has been sitting in the garage. Let me know if you would like for me to drop it off to see if he fits it! Think of you all often and hope to see you soon... - Love, Robin, Lexie and Mairin
