Great Night!!

Last night could not have gone better.  We had a great day and then came to the room and played DSi for an hour or so.  Changed to pj's and told Andrew it was time to sleep.  He liked his new electronic toothbrush.  Pj's were weird because they just sleep in their day clothes or their underclothes...China loves layering.  Well, Andrew has been more than amazing.  We couldn't have asked for a better start then this.  He was taking pictures with his DSi of my wife and he added several hearts around her face to frame it.  It was too cute.  He is naturally a smiler and we are convinced God has once again blessed our family immeasurably.  God has a way of giving you things that are even better then you ask when you are following him.  Anyway we went to bed and Andrew and I were playing around and talking even though we didn't know what each other was saying.  He doesn't mind holding hands and isn't afraid of hugs, doesn't love the pure volume of kisses we give but he has to get used to it.  After we played a little while he grabbed my hands tight to his chest and fell asleep.  It was so cute for the first hour until my shoulder and arm fell asleep then I had to take my hand back.  By that time he was fast asleep.  It was one of those moments that I wish I could remember exactly.  He is a floppy sleeper, arms on my face, leg over me, head on arm.  So I didn't sleep too much but out of pure joy.  When we woke this morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, he looked at me and gave me a huge smile and just looked at me smiling.  My wife was asleep so we whispered and played hands for a while.  I whispered, I love you son, in Chinese like ten times.  Then I pointed to myself then to him and said it.  He responded in English by pointing to himself and then to me saying I love you.  Sometimes when you plan things in your mind, they are even better then reality...sort of like my life in general.  I am so blessed, I sit here typing with tears in my eyes because God is so good, my wife is so amazing and my life is phenominal.  I love you all.
