National Day

Due to the fear of pig flu, the cut our National Day Holiday to 1 day. We celebrated by picking up Little Guy's custom made clothes. Since the addition of him to the family, shopping has become quite a chore. He came with the clothes on his back, so he has needed a complete wardrobe. We have...

Mooncakes Baby

It's that time of year again. We have received our first gift of mooncakes. Our favorite foreign affairs guy has retired and the first evidence of change has been the quality and quantity of mooncakes has decreased. Last year we got a beautiful elaborate box with about a dozen mooncake...

Easter Eggs Take 3

Third times the charm... Before actual Easter we died eggs the "natural way" following all the tips online for people not wanting to use commercially available egg kits. I think those people are personally not looking at the globalization of holidays. Egg kits create jobs in China! They aren't...

Who's Your Daddy

Well, we thought we were making progress with sign language. We thought Little Guy had mastered the sign for Mom and Pop at least. Maybe not! Today I was doing a image search online and this guys picture is one of my choices. Little Guy was sitting on my lap and immediately pointed to the...

Carepackage

My best friend sent us a care package!!!! Yeah! I love mail! Our mail goes to our boss and then he calls us and we come get it. His office is about 3/4 a mile from our apartment. I took both Princess and Little Guy in the stroller. Little Guy was so dejected when he saw the package. I loaded...

Go Fly a Kite

Yesterday we took Princess and Little Guy to fly their kites. We had gotten free kites at Sun Island during May Holidays. It was a kite festival and they had lots of cool kites on display, but none for sale. Everybody got a free kite instead. The whole Sun Island thing was strange. We ended up...

Sept 11

Princess was born on Sept 11. We have celebrated her birthday in China for 3 years. When I tell my my students they say, in shock, that's a bad day for a birthday. My neighbor (in China) just had a C-section to prevent her baby from having a bad birthday Sept. 3, all ghosts day. Actually the...

Self Image

It has been interesting to watch Little Guy use his sign language. He now talks to himself in sign. He was walking around the apartment yesterday signing "Where? Where? Shoes where?". He is very close to Princess. They always are together. Yesterday he brought some nail polish to me. He wanted...
