Apparently our adoption paperwork we 've been waiting for is being held up by a computer system change in the CCCWA (the agency that handles all the adoptions in China). Have a mentioned before that the CCCWA also shuts down for a number of holidays? There is of course Chinese New Year (obviously). Then there is the "Tomb sweeping" holiday, and the "Dragon Boat Festival" which caused a 3 day shutdown last week.

Did you know that David slew Goliath using a bag of rubber bands? No? Well, this is MB doing his David imitation with his bag of rubber bands. By the way, MB was labeled a "Biblical genius" by his VBS leaders.
Bob has devised something he calls the "instant pillow." He demonstrates how it works:
Finally, we have an example of simple joys...Kimi was thrilled to have rainbow toes and finger nails. Much giggling involved.
Ah, simple joys...
