What a week!

We spent this past week down in Taichung attending the annual Taiwan Missionary Fellowship retreat. For the most part it was a great trip. The kids program was GREAT! Ike was constantly asking to go to his class (except when he was asking to go swimming), and even Joe and Elle had fun in their "class" (the nursery). Elle got especially tuckered out, though, because she had lots of kids to "mother" in the nursery! Here are a few pictures from our week away.

The older 2 kids went swimming every chance they got.

You won't see Joey in any swimming pictures....he screamed when we put him in the pool. I can't blame him though, the water was freezing!

Ike even recruited people to play with him in the big pool!

There is construction taking place on the Morrison campus (where the conference is held), so Andy, Ike, and Joe (in the stroller) spent lots of time watching all the activity.

We enjoyed our last drink at the tea stands with Annalise before she leaves next week for the US. We'll miss you!

My favorite TMF pictures are the napping ones. The kids get SO tired because they are so busy in their classes. We were thankful for the team from the US that took care of the kids program. They were GREAT!!!

Elle and Joe, along with the rest of the nursery kids, came down with very high fevers at the end of the week. Luckily it was a quick bug, so after 36 hours or so, they were 99% better. When the doctor asked if there were any other symptoms with it, I said no. Andy told me that I should of said "irritability". That was definitely a symptom that this little 2 year old had!

When Joey woke up from this nap his fever was gone and his appetite was back. Shortly after he ate 3 good size helpings of spaghetti!
