Joshua Shen here reporting from the homefront...

Hi all my friends out there in who are addicted to my blog and missing your fix!! My parents are jet lagging and haven't been posting, so I thought I'd give all of you a quick blog post. Been missin' me? Thought so!!! Anyway, I'll catch you up to date on what's been happening. I flew into Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport about 4pm on Wednesday and immediately met a whole bunch of new friends. There were kids galore, lots of big people and some crying ladies. My favorite were two little blonde martians who rushed me and haven't left me alone since. Here's a pic of them.
So, I think I'm really gonna like my new home. There are tons of toys and plenty of room to run!

Back to that jet lag... Dad looks a little tired here. My preferred wake-up time is 3am. By then, I've tossed and turned for an hour or so and I'm ready to rock 'n roll!!! Mom and Dad aren't too hip on the rolling that early, so we compromise and do some rocking (after they squirt something from modern science in my mouth to help me sleep). We rock for awhile and I nod off for another hour or so... but not too long... don't want to waste daylight!

Yesterday I went to a fun sprinkler park to meet some of my future buds. I ventured out pretty quickly and liked the water until the snacks came out. After that, I pretty much hung out around the Mommas because they kept talking about how adorable I was, and Ms. Amy wanted to "eat me up." I didn't mind the comments, 'cuz they all had some great snacks and they kept 'em commin'!

I still eat about an elephant a day, and Grandma says I'm getting a second chin. Last night my new family celebrated me at dinner. They grilled some T-bones and had a bunch of other good stuff. Grandma even made a peach cobbler! I passed on everything though, since mom had boiled me some eggs and made the most delicious congee!!!

Well, that's about it. I'm pretty much lovin' life right now as the center of attention! I plan to go to church tomorrow. Can't wait to meet more people who are thrilled I'm finally here!

Oh, one more thing.... here's a little shout out to my Southern friend Macy Li.... I'm glad you're loving your new life too, and I really miss your leftovers!!!

Well, lil' monster, it looks like you're keeping busy! I love the 2nd chin look. It's a very masculine look for a 2 year old! I'm so glad you took some time out of your busy schedule to keep us all up-to-date. I am a bit addicted and really can't wait to meet you. I hope things get to a state of normal soon, and I will suggest that you try really hard to stay in bed until 7:00 AM! It will help! I think you've got a great family to love you. I hope you aren't all hugged out by the time we get a chance!

Joshua it looks like you have made Hudson and Hannah very happy. They look thrilled to have you as a brother...they look so grown up. Hudson looks like he has grown a ton since June?! Now you must sleep! They key to making mommys happy is to sleep through the night!
