David and I had a morning off of class, so we used it to go explore a popular area of the city! We found all sorts of neat handmade items, beautiful places, and some “interesting” snacks (pictured below). Come visit, and we will take you there!
Some moments we wonder “what were we thinking having 3 kiddos? We are out numbered and their energy is endless.” But the next minute they bring such joy, laughter, entertainment, and the snuggles are all priceless. It’s so much fun to watch them grow, hear them think out loud. . . and just talk period. […]
Our local friends invited us to go see a play of Cinderella with them. It was a lot of fun, and the kids really enjoyed it (despite the whole thing being in Chinese)! The props and costumes were great, and I thought it was really well done. It was like hearing Cinderella for the first […]
Part of our learning here is an activity called an “Immersion Trip.” We went to a smaller city on the outskirts of our city. . . with our limited speaking ability, all by ourselves We were instructed to get there on our own via some sort of public transportation other than taxi (i.e. train, bus), […]
Putting Colt in the local kindergarten was my biggest concern about moving overseas. I just wanted what would be best for him, and we had no idea what that was! So after much pr@yer and counsel, we had peace about starting him in the local school. The Father has really prepared him by giving him […]
We were off from language studies, and Colt was off from his school on New Years Day. Our tutor said only govt. workers would be off. So we decided to take a trip out into the city and let the kids play. I think all of East Asia was off work though because it was […]
Our visa run to Hong Kong was December 22-25th. That means that we were there for Christmas. It really wasn’t a bad thing though. We were with good friends. The kids had playmates. The city was decorated beautifully. There was constant Christmas music playing everywhere we went. We were able to eat some yummy western […]
It’s a little bit comical to have your child attending an all Chinese speaking school They have a teacher that speaks pretty good English, and she tried to tell me that Tuesday I needed to bring Colt to school at 9:30 instead of 9. She also communicated that there would be no school on New […]
This is the road we cross every morning to language class. We feel like we are playing “chicken” with the buses, taxis, cars, scooters, and bicycles! Traffic from my taxi window Caden doesn’t mind that there are no carseats here. . . Mommy tries to avoid taxis for this reason. Happy baby While Caden […]
Hope you enjoy the pictures!! Walking into the local wet market A great selection of seasonal fruits! Yummy vegetables – and pumpkins!! Some of the “wet” part of the market – fish, frogs, turtles, little things that look like eels? Yumm. . . LOTS of variety with the eggs. Colt said they have the little […]
