Heaven Sent Smiles Today

I was off to a store one morning, and ran across this little smiley crew.


L to R: YanYan, DongDong, HaHa. Wouldn't you love the nick name "HaHa"?


His name matched his jovial personality. And don't you love YanYan's little tongue sticking out of her mouth in laughter?


I won't tell you what was going on on the other side of the camera to get those smiles. Let's just say I have no shame (even on the side of the road closest to my house), and I have an unbeatable Grover impression.


It didn't hurt that they thought my granny mobile, aka my glorified my tricycle (I wish I wasn't so absolutely in love with it, but it's the best) was the coolest thing. As I pulled up, they all three together climbed on before I could even turn around.

Kids are so innocent-- they saw a bench big enough to fit all three of them and just hopped right on, as if it was made just for them.

I caught Tami off guard for this picture. It was a sweet somber moment when she pulled out quilts her friends in America made for opportunities like this.

When I told her I'd invited these sweet kids over to play with my boys, she couldn't wait to stop by with the quilts. Over the phone asked their ages and gender to make sure she'd picked out the perfect quilts for each one of them.


And she did. This family collects trash in the area, and Tami gave them gifts nice enough for her closest friends.


Our house was so blessed to have some of Heavenly Father's choicest grace us with their visit. Thank you HaHa, YanYan (twins) and sweet little DongDong for playing with us. You certainly loved playing with those toys, and we had a fun time loving you!

Yeah, you sure know how to make a normal day a little bit exciting and a little bit sacred. You're amazing!

I love-a you! Have I told you that each time I check your blog it shuts down my computer? So I can't visit as often and can't quite keep up with you (and how in the world do you keep up with all of those bloggers on your blog!?) Anyhow, I sure love you guys and miss you. You're neat-o!
