The Guitar is a Big Hit!

Jason picked out a guitar for Liz's birthday with the help of a friend and Liz's grandparents helped with the cost. It was a huge hit with Liz and the kids! They all wanted to play it. :)

Julia Playing with the big kids

Julia loves being with big brother and big sister- here are a few pics of them together.

Julia is a Cutie!

Julia is getting more and more personality. She is crawling now and is pretty close to walking but still a little nervous about it. She loves to laugh and smile.

Wedding

Jacob got to be in his first wedding here- fun stuff. He was the ring bearer. Right before it was his time, he said "I've got to go to the bathroom" and it took a while. While he was still going- I (jason) heard that it was his time so I tried to hurry him up. Then when we got out, he wouldn't go up the aisle. (he had the real rings too) So I went near the front to help him come to me. Then he finally came quickly skipping up the aisle and handed off the rings. Quite an experience.

The buffet afterwards was BBQ with such cool dishes as cow tongue, chicken heart, duck neck, etc. Yum Yum!

Great Wall

I had fun at the Great Wall recently!

Medical conference

We had a good time on the east coast for a medical conference- seeing some old friends. :)

Flat Stanley Comes to Asia!

Jacob and Lydia's cousins Logan and Ethan mailed "Flat Stanley" to us here to go on some adventures. It's a kids book about this guy who gets flattened, but can then go in an envelope to lots of fun places. :) You can see them below.


Flat Stanley is checking out the local market with pig brains, chicken hearts, and some intestines I think. Yum Yum.
