It has already been 3 months since we met Nikki in that government office in Nanjing. She is such a blessing. She is a very easy baby except that she doesn't sleep all that well, but it is getting better. She is walking, says a few words, signs even more words. She is a great eater, has gained maybe 2 pounds and is lots of fun. She loves to ride with Matthew on his little four-wheeler. She really is a blessing!

Easter Egg hunt at the Nursing home.

All the grandkids on my side except Alex(who is to big for the hunt and was busy delivering salt with the football or wrestling team)

Nikki figured out the easter egg thing pretty quick-she filled her bucket.

Let me at those eggs!

She loved the bunny-it doesn't look like it hear, but she grabbed his nose and wanted to stay on his lap.

On April 9th, Matthew had to be in Yankton to compete in the second round of pine wood derby cars races. It was held during the Scout O'Rama. They had all sorts of activities for the kids to do.

Matthew & his friend Matthew sawed through a branch with a buck saw. It took a while but they did it.

Archery

Here Alex, Matthew & I got a lesson in archery, it was fun-I even came close to a bulls-eye.

Matthew won first place at the Cub Scout O'Rama in Yankton.

His pine wood derby car won first again in the tiger group, his car was the fourth fastest at the derby.

Matthew is the third from the left. The boy standing next to him on the right is a fifth grader and Matthew is small for his age!
