Chelsea's Help International

Introducing: Chelsea’s Help International – Helping Orphans in China We had fun playing with the kids at the Zhongshan Childrens Welfare Institute (ZCWI). The ZCWI is one of 56 orphanages in the province of Guangdong . The ZCWI is home to over 300 children. We wanted to do something for the place that gave Chelsea a home for the first 2 years of her life. We plan to send shipments over a couple of times a year. We want to start by sending soccer balls to our friends at the ZCWI. If you would like to help, send your contributions to: CHI PO BOX 2633 Ruston, LA 71272. We would like to send by April 1, 2013. Thanks for sharing.

We have been very busy running the roads and visiting, trying to get settled at home and working on turning Chelsea's sleep around.  We are getting there.  Finally!

Last week we went to visit my Grandmother. We dropped in early so she didn't have her "face" on yet but Mamaw is always beautiful.  We had a fun visit.  I took some pics of her in front of the house.  The weather wasn't pretty but Chelsea sure was.  We will go back in the Spring when the flowers are blooming.






 We got to do a little shopping at my aunt and cousin's.  Chelsea is going to look so cute in her new clothes this Spring and Summer.  I think she may be dressed better than her Mama.

Saturday we went to Monroe to watch Cayden play in an indoor soccer tournament.  It was lots of fun. She is going to be a great cheerleader for her brothers.

 B & Papa came too:


Saturday afternoon Graham went to a camp out at Lincoln Parish Park.  Chelsea and I stayed at the campsite a while.  She didn't know what to think about all the tall trees and wasn't sure about walking around in the pinestraw.


Saturday evening we ran out to Squire Creek to be introduced to Nanny and Papaw's friends.  Papaw bought a round of champagne for everyone there and toasted my Mom, his bride, of 50 years.  They celebrated their anniversary the day we got home from China so Dad says that Chelsea is his anniversary gift my Mom brought him:)  She sat so nicely.  I hope she continues to do this!
We went to church yesterday for the first time since being home and Rev. Brian brought Chelsea down for a blessing.  I will post a pic when I get it.  She sat through the whole service without raising a fuss.  She also loved the band and music.
I went back to work at the church last night and left Neal with the kids.  This is what I came home to:


This morning we started Kindermusic.  At first Chelsea wasn't too sure, but she got involved pretty fast.  I think she is going to like it.
