A short adieu

Just a short post today.....we are heading for Beijing in about 7 hours! We are excited for the next 3 weeks. This will be our last post till March.

This week was a tough week. We have worked 6 of our Saturdays in a row. We fit 3 weeks of classes in 1. UGGGGGGGG! We were gone most the week but what made it better for the boys is that they got to puppy sit. They had a great time with Trouble, the puppy we watched. He was a good little guy.

Trouble all tuckered out after a long day of playing with the boys

 After this week (It was sooooooooooo long!) we were able to present all the kids that came with certificates. They were all troopers this week. They really are good kids.

These are my "Bears" they have some of my favorites...Left to right-Andy, Prince, Alice, Bobby,  Nancy, Cherry, Winnie, Lucas, Asher and Tony

Jami's "monkey's"..Jason, Sue, Linda, Mike and Dong-Dong now Apple

 Since Chinese New years is on Feb 19th, exactly one week from that date everyone started really setting up shop and decorating. Here are just 2 shops and they are across the street from each other. Right now the sidewalk is packed full of vendors, you almost can't walk on it.

Boxes and Boxes of Fruit

Chinese new year prep.

 And ANOTHER food pic.....this would surprise anyone that really know me and this is one of my favorite meals here.....Tomato and Eggs! It's sooooooooooo yummy! Elijah and Jami make it wonderfully!

My mom and dad must be proud now!

Good by till March! We will be going from Beijing to Shanyang to Harbin to Hong Kong! I will update with our trip when we return!
