I went out today with a friend (ok, my best and probably ONLY friend in HKG) and I was just melting; sweat literally running down my face and back. Curiosity got the best of me so when I got home I went online to a site that converts the temp for you from C to […]
Since moving to Asia, we’ve had to learn about typhoons. Actually, we don’t know much and have been giving people back in the states wrong information. The rating scale stumps me as every website has different criteria. Go here and see what I mean. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone_scales#West_Pacific All I know is, right this very moment, we are […]
Today was the first day of school for two of my children; “real” school, that is. A brick and mortar, bells for lunch, recess, a teacher besides mom kind of school.
When they returned home after a long day, we sat on the couch looking through everything in the backpacks. “David”, I said, “what’s this book?”
Oh, […]
My three year old, L, was getting herself ready for bed. Of course, I was only allowed to sit on the bed and watch as she did it all herself, thankyouverymuch. She is, after all, THREE.
As she pulled down her shorts, she said in a completely matter of fact tone, “Oh! I have my singing […]
We’re here. Completely exhausted, but we’re here!
We have arrived in the US in one piece. We are incredibly tired and happy to be here. It was a rough trip home, but the end result was worth it.
It looks like our entire family will be joining Daddy on his trip to the states in June, instead of our previous plan of returning in August. We leave at the end of next week (GULP! ) and will stay for approx. 4-5 weeks. The kids are ecstatic and have started counting down the days. […]
Yes folks, it is still raining. It has rained every single day since my last post, and we are supposed to get more rain into next week. Today, things got a bit more exciting. We were under a Black Storm Cloud advisory. According to my information line, aka my friend Beth, that’s worthy of attention. […]
It has rained every day for the last, oh, I don’t even know how many days (6 maybe?) and the forecast for the week…RAIN, as far out as they can predict. Not just showers, people, RAIN, complete with thunder and occasional lightning. Any of you with small children are feeling my pain right now, aren’t […]
As I’ve mentioned before, the handful of friends we’ve made since moving here is dwindling at an alarming rate. July and August will be tough months as that’s when most of the families are leaving.
However, I want to clarify something. Not all my friends are leaving. Beth, my best buddy over here, is staying put. […]
