China, We Won't Forget You

We have been thoroughly enjoying ourselves for the past month. In between LOTS of traveling we have spent our days in beautiful places and with our most favorite people.

I've been struggling to answer the "How was China?" question.
Either I feel like I'm living a dream in this wonderful place called America or I'm already forgetting how good it was.

Either way, I hope we don't forget.


Dear Miss A and Brother,

You lived in China.

Don't Forget.

There isn't just one "way" things should be.

Maybe marshmallow layers are just right sometimes.

Keep an open mind.


We have so much.

Life can be spectacular without it.

You can do hard things.

Like learn to walk on bumpy streets

or be born in China

or overcome your fears

Keep doing them.

You are loved immensely.

 Love back.



You have a built-in best friend.

Stay like that.

There are billions of people on the earth.

Heavenly Father loves each one.


When I say you lived in China, you sure lived.

Love, Mommy.
