Catching Up

Hi!

Remember us?  

We haven't forgotten about you!!!  And we certainly didn't mean to take such a long blogging break.  So much has happened in the few weeks since our last blog post: Ava riding a two-wheeled bicycle with no training wheels, a Mother's Day adventure to the Tianjin section of the Great Wall, the Spring Show put on by the primary students at IST and…a five-day trip back to the USA for a funeral. 

WHEW!!!

(I'm pretty sure I missed some other events- my brain is still trying to adjust to China time so I'm feeling a tiny bit out-of-sorts.)

We're also counting down the number of days until summer vacation- three and half days!!!!  Woo hoo!!!  I can't believe next year we will have a first-grader and a fourth-grader!!!!  Where did the time and my tiny babies go????!

And four days until our mini-vacation to Sanya (Hainan Island) to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary.  

So…what does that all mean?  It means that we'll try our best to keep you up-to-date on our activities- especially once school comes to a screeching halt and most of our expat friends will head back to their homes for the summer break.

Ummm….Dear Chinese Male Person, That half shirt is rather amusing. (click on photo to view it enlarged)

Our neighbors seem to have traded their two dogs for a load of baby chicks! (they get out of their fenced yard and wander the neighborhood; haven't seen the dogs in several weeks.)

Yahtzee- our new favorite game!

What are your summer plans????
