We made a weekend trip to Hunan province to say goodbye to some good friends before their return to the States. They live about 1 hour from the famous “Stone Forest” or Zhang Jia Jie. It’s known for its unique mountains, and if you have seen the move Avatar, it was also based on this […]
David LOVES to explore our city on his bike. What’s neat about our city is that it’s so diverse. In a short bike ride you can come across fancy apartment complexes, brand new shopping centers, run down apartments, vacant buildings, poor villages, and beautiful countryside. It’s crazy. Because I love this place and my husband. […]
The weather has been so comfortable lately with quite a few sunny days! We try to be outside as much as possible and enjoy it! Yesterday morning I went across the road to run some laps and get some exercise at the sports complex (so I can keep up with the kids and David!). The […]
I love him.
Colt wanted to get 2 more little ducks (remember our last 2 were eaten by rats in our complex). He planned to bring them in at night so they wouldn’t get eaten by predator rats, and we agreed. When we got to the pet market, they didn’t have any baby ducks so we switched to […]
Remember I mentioned before “our mountain?” Well, technically it’s not OUR mountain (obviously). It’s just the mountain across from our house. . . we climb it frequently. These 2 pics are from the top. One is the view to the left and the other the view to the right.
Sorry I haven’t posted in about a month, and I also didn’t get our update out in February! That seriously stressed me out a little bit. . . but I didn’t take my computer on our trip since we were going to gone for about 17 days! It was nice to be without it actually. […]
These are some of our favorite winter “warm” foods! We have soup almost daily. The broth is made from scratch, then we add whatever fresh veggies we buy that day from the market. A popular way to eat with friends is to have the pot of soup going at a low boil in the center […]
We call this “our mountain” because it’s right across from our house, and we have climbed it many many times (especially David and Colt). It’s fun to climb other mountains in the city and try to find “our mountain” from the view. . . Climbing has become a new hobby we are able to enjoy! […]
Before moving to GL we had no idea this school existed. Local school for our kids is really important to us for their language and socialization, and I am in awe of how the Father has provided such an amazing learning environment for Colt! It was a big deal that he didn’t have to sit […]
