Catching up 2

More on our trip to DC. It was a very cold and rainy trip! We had to buy coats once we got to Herndon! Andrew and V became fast friends in China. She's holding him at the museum of Natural History. We had a great time catching up. In the next picture, you see another Qingyang Treasure. I have been on the Qingyang Treasures yahoo group since it started and had been conversing with a fellow Tarheel who has transplanted to McLean. We got to spend a wonderful evening with Mary, Pat, and Jane. She and Andrew got along well and played hard. We really appreciated their fantastic hospitality and getting to know them.

Not even snow will keep Andrew from riding around and playing hard. On 12/19, he played and rode around while Kevin shoveled the driveway. They were both soaked when they came inside. Next picture is of my little "rocker"! Kevin and I know we're getting payback for all the toys and gadgets we gave our nieces and nephews and friends kids when they were growing up! We're in for it! :)

Last but not least, my sister, Nora, readying a Winnie the Pooh book to Andrew at Christmas.

We hope you are all having a wonderful and blessed New Year!

Love to all.

Catching up

It's been quite a while since we last posted. Been a little crazy with the holidays and getting ready for Kev's folks visit. Since we last posted, Andrew got his first official hair trim at the hairdresser's. Before that we had been using the shears like we do with Kev's and doing it all at home. Over all, he did well. We took him to Col*st*ne afterwords. Yummmmm! The church where Andrew attends pre-school had a Santa pancake breakfast in early December. So we ate some pancakes and Andrew visited with Santa. He was a little less shy this year. They had quite the chat! Andrew loves to read with anyone who will read to him. His reading with Nanny above (Lisa's mom). That's one of their favorite past times when we visit.

Andrew is also quite the Curious George. We went to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in October while at the AWAA China Family Reunion. We went with our friends the M's. Andrew had fun with the microscope and magnifying glass among other things. We really enjoyed seeing our dear friends. We traveled to China with them in '08.

He got a bike for Christmas. His legs need to get just a bit longer. Hopefully, we'll have a nice stretch of good warm weather for him to get out and practice. We're expecting a 2nd snow this weekend of about 4-8 inches this time. Our first was on 12/18, we had about 4 inches then. Will try to add more pics later. Take care and God bless.

PS: Believe it or not, Kev and I finally signed up on FB! Catch there also.
