Kylie, Rachel and I had a good week.  Rachel had an interview on Monday at a school in Hong Kong and we are in the middle of deciding what we as a family want to do next year and whether we want to put Rachel in school.   Please pray for guidance and direction as we continue to make this decision.

 The birthday cake was amazing! Rachel got to take home a huge Belle helium balloon and jewelry box!
 All the kids got to cut the cake....Rachel wasn't sure about this but she loved eating it!!
 I saw this on Sunday and I thought it was interesting....a face whitening trial kit in a vending machine!!
 Only in Hong Kong!!
A picture from Rachel's photo shoot at the birthday party on Saturday.  All the kids got to have a photo shoot:-)

This has been a big week for our family as it often seems to be the case here in Hong Kong.  We have a lot of exciting things happening at the moment and we are very thankful to God for giving us so many opportunities.  What a great week!
