This Woman...

This woman  joined the B5's for our first two weeks in China...man what a blessing. In every sense of the word she became a Banek and helped us navigate our way through the thousands and thousands of new experiences that we've experienced thus far. From helping with the children,

to negotiating taxi prices,

to attempting to communicate with those who don't speak the same language as we do,
to providing respite care for the older B5's when the kiddos were driving us crazy,

to taking us out to eat at local eateries, to supporting our decisions unconditionally, to providing some much needed humor, and for being the voice of reason over and over again.  This woman brought us so much joy and laughter over the last two weeks.  Thanks mama for coming along with us on our Chinese adventure,

We love you!!
