Even though I flew all day on my birthday this year, it was still remarkable. So remarkable in fact that a week later I’m inspired to blog about it! First, on Saturday morning, the 20th, Gigi comes in the room and says, “Mommy, happy birthday. We have a surprise for you. You are to stayContinue reading My Birthday
We woke up on Sunday, November 1st, to snow! It was so beautiful! It was all Vincent had dreamed of–especially after last year when we told him we’d be moving to Beijing. All he kept saying was how excited for snow he was. It didn’t matter that we told him it doesn’t snow much inContinue reading It Snowed!
I am not caught up on all of our excursions. A while ago (like back in October!) we went to Ho Hai lake and the surrounding area. It’s a quaint little area with restaurants and bars surrounding the lake. The kids paddled us, we had some coffees from the Buck, and we all enjoyed wonderingContinue reading Ho Hai
I can’t express enough how wonderful it is to have arrived in China and already have both friends and family here! We have Debbie, Phil, Jane, and Leo here in Beijing, but we have even more in Shanghai! Mary Kelly and Giovanni Bello came up for the weekend. They arrived around 8:00 pm on FridayContinue reading Our First Visitors–The Bellos!
Vincent was such a sport. He rode a too-small, florescent pink bike all summer. He knew he was waiting for the big moment in Beijing when he would get his New Bike. We went the second day here to the Giant store near by. He went with a racer blue bike and Gigi got aContinue reading New Bikes
We’ve known since last December that we would get a dog upon arrival in Beijing. There have been a couple of options: we could go with one of the local pet stores or go to a pound. We never made it to the pound after our local vet Peter invited us to his dog farm.Continue reading Rani, Our New Pup
Because I have so much to post with our new move to Beijing, China, I went with the easiest first: our visit to the Great Wall. Considering that we will probably see this monumental site many times, I’m pretty pleased with the entire visit. The ride was easy and also very beautiful. The destination includesContinue reading Of course, up first, the Great Wall of China!
There are a few citites out there that request “BABY” after them. I think it started for me with Hong Kong. I fell in such love with that city that I had to call it Hong Kong BABY. It’s such a sexy city with it’s cosmopolitan flair with so much culture mixed in. Then, asContinue reading ISB, Bangkok BABY!
Vincent is beside himself with excitement to move to Beijing! The most interesting prospect for him is the weather. He cannot wait to be cold! (Little does he know that this excitement will last approximately 2.2 seconds!) At any rate, last night when we sat down to the table, he was wearing the scarf SantaContinue reading
