Spring is here! i am so thankful to see the birds singing and for the warm weather. all the trees are in blossom :) what a happy day and how good DAD is to us!



I want to also share a interesting picture with you. I was riding in the taxi the other day. And there was a big traffic jam.. normal for here.. well except i saw what was a fire engine.. oh my i thought there was a fire so i asked the taxi driver.. he told me no they were cutting the trees.. you can look for youself and see what you think!

Oh Back to School!

Hello Everyone. it has been a long holiday! i am excited to be getting back into the groove of things :) I have had a wonderful holiday: Seeing my family in Co, Celebrating Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, rest, and seeing freinds! But.. now we must go back to work. Tomrrow (Monday) we have our Opening Ceremony for our new adult class. then i will start the children the 1st saturday of march. I am looking forward to the latter.

Yesterday we did a run to Jinan. It was wonderful the weather was in the 60's. We rode the train there which is always a fun experience. Then we shopped. We went to the the stores to get western food: cheese! then we went and had lunch at a foriegn resturant, i had mexican! We had a really good time. 5 people in 1 taxi with the driver! Then we came home on the bus. it is such a nice ride and you know you always have a seat ;)

So i am excited for what DAD is going to do. i hope everyone is well!
