Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to everybody:) We woke up this morning and ate breakfast at the legendary White Swan buffet. Yummy! I am pretty excited that we have 5 more mornings of that spread.

We went to the pearl Market this morning, though Bob and Garrett stayed here. Bob is sick, we are not sure with what, but he has a fever and has been in bed all day. Caelan and my parents have only one day left. We are all ready to come home, and I wish that we were going with them.

Lia is becoming more comfortable with us every day. She has done very well the whole time that we have had her, but she will often tune us out. Like she knows that we are there, but doesn't interact. I feel like today she was "tuned in" the entire day. She has also had a few tantrums. They rank in intensity to Garrett's top performances, but for Lia, as long as you give her a cracker or a bottle, the tantrum lasts no longer than 2 seconds.

She is still eating a lot and always has to have a cracker or something in her hand. If she doesn't, she gets very upset. She is actually smiling a lot, but we are having trouble capturing it on the camera.

Meghan,

I hope Bob feels better soon. As I said in a previous post we loved the buffet at the White Swan. Lia may be grieving, Avari "zoned out" and tantrums too. The red couch pictures are wonderful.

Happy Mother's Day Meghan! Lia's arrival trumps all other Mother's Days. You are a great mom and today you are to be celebrated!
Bob, Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Remember what they say... A bad day on the golf course (sick in China) beats a good day at the office. Hope you are feeling better by the time you receive this.
We look forward to seeing the new "Jansen Five" at the lake when things settle. Lots of Love, the Silvas

Hey Guys I've been checking in morning and night. I'm so sorry to hear you are sick Bob, hope you feel better soon. There are a few folks at school following along too. Ruth Ann said she cried when she saw the pics of Gotcha Day. Can't wait for you to all be home and safe. Praying for your safe and happy travels.
