We ended the week last week with a birthday party for Eden. Can't believe how quickly four years has passed! She greeted me friday morning with, "Mama...Are you going to say Happy Birthday to me?!"
And then we had a conversation about why she wasn't much bigger that morning than she was the day before.
We're notoriously bad about remembering to take video. But we broke out the video camera and dusted it off just for her birthday. I compiled a video of the highlights...so I'm hoping the grandparents will at least make it all the way through it. :)
A four year old and her chonies. I hope when she's 14 she's as easily pleased with a package of Disney Character Underwear.
Her birthday party invite was all in Chinese and when it came time to sing "Happy Birthday" at her party, her little classmates had to remind us that we should sing it in English for her too. It's times like this that I hope our calling here isn't totally warping our children.
Eden, oh how we love you. You continue to challenge us, stretch us, make us proud, make us laugh, and make us wish we were childless and back in college some days. We hope you'll look back on your childhood and forget the times that we screwed up when disciplining you. We hope it will be a good example of God's grace in our lives.
We love you beyond words, Eden Grace!! Happy 4th Birthday!

Love the video....you did a great job of getting just the right amount of each and quitting before it drug on for too long. :) To listen to her talk, she sounds SO grown up. What a smart girl! It was fun to hear Salem too...he is growing up so much as well. Singing in two languages is awesome! :)
Oh my goodness!! That video is precious!! I loved watching it!! If y'all are ever in the Korean neck-of-the-woods, let me know! I'd love to show you around!! We're practically neighbors!! And I loved seeing Eden speaking Chinese...that's so awesome! She's at the right age where she can soak it all in like a sponge!! Thank you again for sharing such a wonderful video! Happy Birthday Eden!
Happy birthday Eden!
I LOOOVE that the chonies were such a HUGE hit! :)
"It's not a lizard daddy, its a Chamelion!" So stinkin' smart. And I love how Salem is just as excited as she is like its his birthday. Too cute! :) Happy Birthday Eden!
Totally made me cry. :) Give her a hug for me!
Holy cow why does the video not work for me!?!?!! I've tried for 2 days now!
