Welcome to China!

Many people suggested we should blog about life in China, and we did consider it even before we came here in January.  Finally it seems like the right thing to do to best share stories, photos, and adventures with family and friends that can't be here with us.

We will try to post at least once per week.  Every post will include a photo -- mostly of the kids.  We'll show you photos like....

The kids enjoying the view -- each in their own way -- from the Great Wall....
















Lorren on a camel at the Wuhan Zoo....

















Bella at kindergarten graduation with her teacher, Miss Mott....
















Ema, Bella, and Lorren taking a rest with a Lego man in Beijing's Chaoyang Park....















Or Chessie showing off her new sleeve protectors which are popular when the weather demands long sleeves....















This is just another way to communicate with everyone.  If you're only interested in the witty one liners about life in China -- stick with Chessie's Facebook feed.  The blog will have more about our day-to-day lives and the people and places we've come to enjoy during our time here.

Please subscribe to the RSS, leave comments, and pass on to others that might be interested.

  2. Yay! I'm looking forward to the blog posts. I'd be interested in reading posts written by Ema and Bella on their experiences in their own words, if you're taking requests. :-) Also, what are sleeve protectors meant to be protecting your sleeves from??

  3. @Sharyn => We can definitely get Ema and Bella to blog also. Requests like that will always be welcome. On the sleeve protectors.... they're just meant to protect sleeves from the dirt of whatever you're doing. They're mostly worn by people working outside that don't want to get the coats/jacket sleeves too dirty. It's eaiser to wash the grime from the protectors than sleeves.
