Colt’s Class
Here are some pictures one of Colt’s teachers recently gave us. This is pretty special because it’s his kindergarten class pic – and it’s his first Chinese classmates/friends. He has just done great going to this local school. His language ability amazes us, and he has some pretty special little buddies. We are super proud […]
Family Trip to Qing Cheng Shan
We decided to take a weekend trip as a whole family back to Qing Cheng Shan. We went with friends back to the mountain that David and Colt went to a couple months ago. It took us about 4 hours to get there through the standard various forms of transportation here (bus, “fast bus,” fast […]
Local Company Exercise
One of the things that we enjoy about this new culture is how active everyone’s lifestyle is (has to be). You naturally get your walking in each day, but most companies also have morning exercises that they do all together out in front of their business before they open. This is a new business, and […]
There is a new guy around here. . .
Oh the things we see. . .

Qingcheng Shan
I’m really proud of David – he is a great daddy! Since moving here, he has taken Colt on quite a few special father/son trips. Of course, we often do fun things as a family. . . but you know, the father/son thing is pretty special. Can’t wait until Caden is big enough to tag […]
Dujiangyan
David and I recently had the opportunity to go see Dujiangyan irrigation system – which is a major tourist attraction and an engineering masterpiece! We left the house at 8am, and after riding various forms of transportation we arrived around 10am. Our transportation that day consisted of taxis, public buses, a tourist bus, the underground […]
Special Times. . .
Recently, David took Colt camping on a Father/Son camping trip. It took them over 2 hours to get to the campsite via various transportation, but they both said it was worth it! Colt LOVES to explore nature and had a blast sleeping OUTDOORS in his tent (since we have camped on indoors a few times […]
