Veggie Tales

Last night, several members of our group walked over to Pizza Hut for dinner. In the ongoing attempt to get Lia to eat something other than congee, we ordered a trip to the salad bar and tried a few things: peas (nope), corn (no way), cucumber (not going to happen). So when Scott and I finally got our dinners, we made one final attempt: mashed potatoes (bingo)! She ate both his serving and mine in addition to a little watermelon. Not the American Pediatric Association's recommended diet by any means, but it's a start.

Note to Reader: This is not your father's Pizza Hut. Scott and I both had beef tenderloin kabobs (which were excellent) and the menu also offered choices like lamb, filet of sole, chicken and salmon dishes as well as an extensive wine list. Who knew?

  1. Those eyes tell the whole story! :) Pizza Hut FISH? Hmmm...interesting. When I look at her referral and "care package" pictures...compared to these...it's so amazing how you've breathed life into this beautiful little soul. Simply amazing to watch!

    Love, Lisa A

  3. This picture of Lia looks a lot like Alex, don't you think? Your sweet Alex was very chatty during Children's Church this morning . . . we were talking about parties (the wedding feast), and he must really like parties! He is so cute! Thanks so much for keeping us all updated! You are missing 3-5 inches of snow (predicted -- we will see if it actually falls), so enjoy your warm China weather!
    Love, Christy

  5. The gardens are beautiful, sort of puts Parks & Rec to shame, but then again I must remember to be thankful for what we do have, excellent play structures! She is looking so much closer to have a cup full of love inside!
