Children's Day School Performance

By Shorel & Sandra on June 1st, 2010

Happy Children’s Day! This morning, we celebrated with breakfast at the local dive. Schäfer was so excited about his performance. They have been practicing at school for quite some time.

A little stage make-up should enhance his performance.

Hmmm… that’s different.

Next, the hair stylist had her way with his locks.

Thank goodness Hubs is not here.

Our plans after the Expo were for Sianna and I to return to JiuJiang while Hubs and Schäfer continued to host the engineers on one additional hydro power excursion.

The day after Sianna’s birthday, we took the kids downtown to play at a Jump Zone. After 8 weeks of living here, this was our first time to go to an indoor play area in Jiujiang.

Schäfer was so happy they had a coconut tree just like Play Zone in Yichang.

Happy 1st Birthday Sianna!

On the morning of the kids’ birthdays, I like to get a photo of them while they’re still in the crib. Sianna doesn’t like to be in her crib after she wakes up so I took her early morning photos on our bed.

Happy birthday baby girl!

For breakfast, we started the

Schäfer woke me up this morning with a loud “Moo! Moo!” When asked what he was wearing, he replied, “A cow bell.”  (That would be a race car attached to his mouse ears.)

For quite some time, we’ve been offering Sianna small chunks of food that she can pick up herself. And for quite some time,
