In touch with our food sources

Thanksgiving

Our third year in China, and you would think we would have Thanksgiving down. The main problem is that most of the ingredients in a Thanksgiving are native to the States, not China. We planned ahead by bringing over some ingredients and hiding them in our cupboard all year. It is really hard,...

4 months later, the story of Little Guy

I think Little Guy is starting to have real progress. He has been in the family for four months. It has not been easy. At all. But love conquers all. The most amazing thing happened at Kindergarten yesterday. We dropped off the kids and unbundled them. The lead teacher comes running out in...

Little Sun

This past week, the temperature dropped and it has been freezing. It’s only been around 0ºC at the coldest, but the problem is that the buildings are not equipped to protect against the weather. Kunming is known as the City of Eternal Spring, and apparently it never got cold in the winters until...

Beijing survival rules

1. Crossing roads: wait until the green man is flashing, which means run the gauntlet of crazed taxi drivers who consider it double points for pedestrians and triple for westerners! 2. Queuing: actually "ku'ing" is a martial art, only the fastest, meanest, kick ass survive...

First Snow of the winter

Friday it snowed for the first time this winter. I'm sure the stuff will be here until we go home New Years Eve, but the 1st snow is always the funnest. It was late for the 1st snow this year, other years we had snow in early October. The snow is bittersweet because I rather have pretty snow if...
