I love his continued passion for his heritage. I so hope he's able to visit China soon. It's so important to stay connected to his birth country, especially since he was older when the adoption took place
This has to be my favorite video! Daniel seems to be in the background most of the time and boy was I pleasantly surprised! He has a wonderful personality! So mindful of others, genuine, kind hearted, intelligent and handles himself with confidence when the attention is on him. 🙂 Your family time in the library was fun! Awesome family. ❤
Definitely one of my most favorite videos ever. The time in the store was a great relaxed connection time between mother and son. I love that Daniel took the day off for his birthday; I thought for sure his first choice of the day was to work!
Oh! What a delightful post! I absolutely LOVE the Chinese background music while you were shopping in the Asian store. Congratulations Daniel on becoming an 'adult'. I just love Daniel. He is so friendly, he seems like such a happy kid, (oops! ADULT) he is respectful of his siblings, peers, and parents, he's not afraid to lend a helping hand, and he is appreciative of gifts given to him for his birthday. Such a great attitude! I always watch your posts, but this one is my favorite by far, leading to my first time to comment. Such a beautiful family!
Happy Birthday Damiel 🎂🎈🎉I admire that you know soo much about your culture and that you want to be a chef when you grow up. Best wishes for your dreams. Enjoy being 18. You are truly blessed
Happy 18th Daniel! The skies the limit and I'm sure you will succeed in what life comes to you. The card from Eve was so sweet and it's clear she loves her big brother.
This is my all time favorite video of yours!!! Daniel is such an awesome guy. Happy Birthday Daniel! Keep up your passions. You are going to go far in this world.
Happy Birthday, Daniel! It is amazing that you are 18! It is great to see you on video. It seems that you work so much that you hardly ever make it into the videos.
It's so lovely to see Daniel so happy, he's usually very serious. He sure is enjoying his oriental food on his Birthday and shopping. Great to keep his food culture active. He's a beautiful soul! Meghan and Mike you inspire families all over the world and I bow down to you both. God Bless❣💞🙏🙏
My brother is an executive chef. 50 this year. And when he was 16 he was cooking at home and talked about nothing but good (and girls. Lol). At 18 we were cheering him on at Cake decorating contests. (At 21 he made my wedding cake with hand blown sugar swans. He also made both my son and daughters wedding cakes. I hope Daniel sticks to it. It's a wonderful journey
We use those huge pots to steam rice for dinner parties, the giant collinders are to rinse produce and noodles when we make those giant dinner parties.
Yay, we got to see some more Daniel! What a wonderful video and he seems like such a great young adult. 👍🏼 happy belated birthday Daniel, 18 is a huge deal!
Happy Birthday to your amazing young man. Your son is so sweet, thoughtful and kind. I love that he loves to cook especially traditional meals from his birth country.
I love seeing all the books! My parents were avid readers and passed the love of books to my brothers and me. I did the same to my sons and we all have wonderful libraries. Holding a book is such a better experience than reading something on a device! Many blessings to all!!❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love actual books too! The smell, the feel, no glaring light from a computer or Kindle- and no batteries running out!!! Love the new library. Happy Birthday, Daniel!
AJ G I actually have the same issue, which is why I barely use my phone for anything more than calls and texting. And no, Kindle doesn’t hurt my eyes, I use it without the light most of the time and even when I use the light I turn it way down. I actually prefer using it to read really heavy, hard cover books. So I buy the book and put it on the shelf and then use the kindle to save my arms the hassle of dealing with the heaviness 😂 If you truly love reading I recommend you at least try the one of the ereaders out, there are more brands than Kindle, you can borrow books from the library on some of them, so the overall cost of trying out shouldn’t be too high. I actually found myself reading a lot more once I got my ereader, the books are cheaper and I can read them more easily during my commute
Very happy birthday Daniel , what a wonderful young man. Good luck with your future in cooking . Love watching your family and love the reading nook ......how wonderful to see kids reading . I have been inspired to encourage my kids to read more .....thank you . Love from Scotland x
Happy birthday Daniel! A sheer pleasure to see you on the vlog. You have matured into such a fine, strong young man. Congrats on your fluency in English. The progress you have made since the summer when you started the gardening business to earn money is simply amazing. Your work ethic, determination, independence and maturity are great qualities which will help you achieve your goals.
Happy 18th Daniel! 🎉🎉I love how industrious you are and admire your confidence in pursuing your interests. You’re a wonderful young man, always thoughtful and kind.
Happy 18th Birthday, Daniel! You are so personable, have such a good work ethic, and you are so bright ... you will do well at anything you want to do!
Daniel belated Happy 18TH Birthday to you . WOW that Asian Market had some expensive prices . Is Daniel learning how to drive yet ? Nice furniture in the new Library .
Fun videos and your family is adorable. I watch a wide variety of YT videos; primarily arts, crafts, sewing, diy, occasional fine art instruction (wonderful watercolor) how-tos, but also reselling/reselling vintage, dumpster diving are favs. BUT I love ❤️ to watch all kinds of families do their thing and so yours is wonderful and I love your open & experiential approach to learning. And I agree with your comment on books. Books ARE so special because they’re made of paper (mostly) and paper is from trees and that gives us connection to the earth and nature (whether we realize it or not.) Unfortunately, for my regular “reading” I do listen to books for entertainment because I get very sleepy with general reading. But I love, love, art, crafting, creative and how-to books and have lots of them mostly from thrift stores. What would we do without thrift stores?
I love the fact that your family is so easy going and "no nonsense". It is very refreshing to see. I am loving how you are decorating your home. It might not be "your" house but, its 'your" home.
Going into an Asian market I have always wanted someone to explain things! Thanks Daniel! I go my wish! By the way I like your hair cut! Like seeing your handsome face!
You are phenomenal I love when each of their birthdays you totally adapt to whatever thry desire and you do it with such joy as you interact,love room transformation wonderful book room.I noticed a doll house as the children bringing the books downstairs I love books and doll houses really enjoy your vlogs
HAPPY, HAPPY, 18TH BIRTHDAY DANIEL!! I love that each of the kids get to spend a special one on one day with Mom on their birthdays! They'll treasure those days for the rest of their lives! -PJ
I love this video so much to see Daniel from the begrnning till the end of this video..happy birthday Daniel i hope you have an amazing birthday! Youre such a great young man..God Bless Family Knorpp❤
Happy Birthday Daniel! As someone who is fully Asian and half Chinese, I really appreciated this. Everything in the food market seemed familiar. All the best in your culinary journey Daniel, I know you'll make a great chef someday.
He is really turning into an amazing kid! Thanks for allowing us along the journey! I have to say I'm having Elijah withdrawals! It seems so strange not to see his tall tow head leading the pack. I don't know if I can go 2 years without him! lol
I love books too Megan, good to see the children having fun reading together happily and laughing. Also great to see a Daniel enjoying Mom and son time together shopping, what a wonderful young man he is...he will go far am sure. Such a lovely and loving happy family...thank you for sharing all of these precious moments with us... love you guys too and be blessed...xxxxx
I agree with you about books! I will never own a kindle. I love holding the book and smelling the book and seeing how far I have to the end of the book. I love the smells in a library or a book store. Enjoyed this video! Happy Birthday Daniel!
Happy Birthday Daniel! I really like the way Andrew reads to the other kids. It is heart warming to see. I have a Kindle, but I still have books too. Sometimes I just 'need' to hold a book. Beautiful family! x
Happy Birthday Daniel!!! you are my fave Knorrp ever! Good to see the transformation that life has given you. Nice seeing you as a chitty chatty person, laughing and being a good teen as you already are. I hope you'll have everything that you wished for. I really love watching your videos, all of them. But the most fun part is when you focus on your kids, on what they do and what they enjoy doing. Been a subscriber of yours years now. Much ❤️ from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
magnet on my car "go places - Read" i wouldn't let my children watch TV til my youngest was about 12. They grew into creative and very smart adults! I love your reading room! happy birthday, Daniel!
Just found yalls channel and just got so excited that y’all are in my city! I watched some of the older videos and ended up on this one and just got super excited.
Happy Birthday Daniel, here’s wishing you a fabulous 18th year ahead! Love the new Library Room. It’s awesome. Yes, we are like that too, changing rooms to better suit us. It also cheers the place up, something fresh, and feels new, and brings out creativity. Yay books! Paper books. I’ll always love them, tho I use kindle too.
Digging the wok..the shrooms....and the fabulous Daniel turning 18 . Brilliant asian market. Loving the gorgeous book room too. May the year ahead be filled with every good thing Daniel...plus lots of superb dishes...now that you have that wok.
Happy birthday Daniel! I love the transformation of the library room and I agree there is nothing like holding and reading a book- a kindle just is not the same.
I have been watching you now for a long time. When you lived in your home, sold it , bought the BIG R.V. It has been such a wonderful journey with your family. So nice to see your children grow and thinking about what they want to do in life. Just wanted you to know that I have really enjoyed it all. I also hope Daniel watches Li Ziqi . She is from China and amazing.
Will Daniel go to mission trip? I know you let them decide what they want to do. Happy Birthday Daniel. I know I am very late. You are one of my favorite young men on TH-cam.
Daniel grew up so well ❤️ I'm really in love with your vlogs and your family, thank you for sharing yet another amazing video! I'm just 17 and having a family/kids has/have never crossed my mind before but ever since watching and keeping up with your videos, I can't help but be excited to build my own! The scene where Andrew was reading to the other kids is heartwarming ❤️
I love his continued passion for his heritage. I so hope he's able to visit China soon. It's so important to stay connected to his birth country, especially since he was older when the adoption took place

I agree, my thoughts exactly.

Daniel is such a cool “kid”. You have done an amazing job!!!
Happy birthday, Daniel! Megan, I love your new library room! So much better than having those books up on the landing.
Happy 18th Daniel! The skies the limit and I'm sure you will succeed in what life comes to you. The card from Eve was so sweet and it's clear she loves her big brother.

Still teenage boy when it comes to enjoying his food!
Brilliant to move the bookshelves, & yes, there's nothing like an actual book in your hands, always & only real 📚 for me!
When he says "my pleasure" tickled my chick fil a loving heart
My brother is an executive chef. 50 this year. And when he was 16 he was cooking at home and talked about nothing but good (and girls. Lol). At 18 we were cheering him on at Cake decorating contests.

Kindles don’t have the same light as tablets or phones, plus you can turn it off! I love actual books as well, but ereaders serve their purpose

How lucky to have a kid who cooks! I love to encourage that curiousity, so far it's paid off. 😂

Your reading room is so cosy and welcoming, you will all have many happy hours in there during the winter months and beyond xx

Happy birthday Daniel! I love the transformation of the library room and I agree there is nothing like holding and reading a book- a kindle just is not the same.
Happy Birthday Daniel, praying u had a blessed day..
This is my absolute favorite way y’all have designed this room so far!! I wish I could have an afternoon off to explore those books myself!
That huge blue colander at 6:50 is probably for washing cabbages to mass make their kimchii.
Ahhhh! 🤔💡
Happy 18th Birthday Daniel!!!🎂🍰🎊🎉🎈🎁
Very very cool episode. Daniel’s gift were so thoughtful. The room and decor are GORGEOUS
I have been watching you now for a long time. When you lived in your home, sold it , bought the BIG R.V. It has been such a wonderful journey with your family. So nice to see your children grow and thinking about what they want to do in life. Just wanted you to know that I have really enjoyed it all. I also hope Daniel watches Li Ziqi .

Happy Birthday!!!! I would love love love to listen to a podcast with Daniel as a special guest.
Mushroom hunting! Pretty awesome, can't wait to see what he finds, and makes
another successful birthday celebration... I love birthday videos!
Happy birthday Daniel! Hope you had an awesome day!
Happy Birthday Daniel! I love paper books too! Nothing beats them!
Loved seeing Daniel at the market and talking about China. I have often wondered if he missed China since he was older when adopted.
