Hope you enjoy this collection of photos all taken during August.
In August, it was so hot Schäfer enjoyed two baths a day.
We ate lots of oatmeal with fresh strawberries for breakfast.
Every morning, from 8:30 – 11:30, we played outside at the lotus pond with our friends.
Mi Le is a good buddy. He has a shovel too.
Schäfer and Chen Yu took daily stroller rides. Of course, it’s Mi Le’s stroller. Otherwise, they wouldn’t want to play with it.
Every day, we went to see chicken.
We loaded up so much dirt in our dump truck.
One morning, we all headed down to the open market to visit the toy shops.
Hard at work.
The dirt is so great after a long, hard rain!
The water is pretty great too!
All the neighborhood kiddos come out for some much needed fun after a day of rain.
Schäfer and Zi Hai plan their next dig.
Schäfer and Ye Ye read a book to pass the time.
August was a busy month for mosquitoes. Solution: we put Schäfer’s bed inside netting.
Schäfer loves this hat our neighbor gave him. He will sometimes ask to wear it outside in 98 degree heat!
Schäfer shares his hat with Froggie.
On a rainy afternoon, Ting Ting tries to get Mi Le to try on the lion costume.
Chen Yu willingly agrees.
Schäfer thought it was hot.
One morning, we came in and found Schäfer with his mattress turned up. He figured if he can’t climb out of his bed, then maybe he could go under it. Such a clever little guy!
