From China with Love

Yes! We finally got it, the long awaited care package from Chris and Diane... Okay, so maybe Michael and I are the only ones who knew it was coming- that's alright; we're sharing with everyone else anyway because it was too fun to keep a secret.
The boys were ecstatic about the "split pants" outfits they received because all the kids in China wear these. (They're pants with an open crotch section) You never have to take them to a bathroom, just have 'em squat right where they are and you're in business- or they're in business, I should say... Michael and I were seriously thinking that these little wonders could potty train Josiah AND Asher in like a week! Even Baby Goss received a split pants set of his own. What a treat!



We were delighted to find yummy treats all the way from the streets of a true Chinese market. Michael was so eager to eat, he started gnawing on those chicken feet before taking the wrapper off. Mmmmm-Mmmm!

We couldn't leave out the infamous "Fashion Socks," either! They're all the rage in China (women and men, I need to add) Even Michael found a delightful pair that fit comfortably on his feet. They are quite the surprise, I do have to say. We put them on thinking it would be fun to take a picture of how silly we looked, then we realized we both had been wearing them the whole night- with dinner guests to see them! They are pretty cool!

Chris and Diane- you're the BEST!!

Hey, those split pants are great! Jeremy could use some right now...There is nothing quite that cool that we could send you from Ukraine, but we will think about it...

first of all, the split pants are not supposed to be used with diapers - so let the boys run free!!! they will enjoy easy access to an always present toy if you do this, much like the kids here enjoy. and in honor of your love for fashion socks, i confess that i have actually been wearing some (inside only of course) to make my feet nice and soft. don't tell any one - but i kind of like them!! you guys are great!! thanks for the pictures. :)
