On Sunday afternoon, we headed out with J to visit a local park to enjoy the fall weather.

The day was beautiful.

We did not realize the park was going to be so vibrant with fall colors. If I had known, I would have dressed us a little differently… a little more festive!

The kids loved crunching through

a year later

By Sandra on March 18th, 2011

A year ago we moved.

Hubs and I have different perspectives on how the last year has gone.

For me, it’s been tough.

To tell you the truth, it’s still hard to swallow.

Life here is so different. Yes, there’s been a change in urban sprawl, but there’s also been a change in our family. Those two factors have

Once the weather started to warm, we decided to ride our bikes over to a monument that is near our home. Yes, it looks like the Washington Monument, but this statue is in honor of the 1999 Yangtze River Flood Victims.

At the monument, there are four unique “houses”. Hubs would like to turn

Our First Visit to Gan Tang Park

By Shorel & Sandra on April 10th, 2010

Late Saturday afternoon, we decided to check out Gan Tan Park. We were delighted to find such a large park for children with plenty of rides, a zoo, and a large lake with boats for rent. While Sianna slept in the Ergo, Schäfer selected two activities.

First, he wanted to jump!

Then, he wanted to ride on

Used Furniture Alley

By Shorel & Sandra on April 9th, 2010

Several things had us thinking about used furniture.

1. The money the landlord gave us is pretty much going towards repairs, the kitchen and bedroom closets.

2. The price of new furniture is not cheap. Even if we could find something cheaper at Ikea, it would pretty much be the same price as local furniture once we
