Take you driving in my car, car

Jane's First Day in Nursery


Grace graduated from Nursery at Church, the same day that Jane started. Jane loved it and didn't bat an eye. Grace is now in the sunbeams class and has a lovely teacher from Scotland via South Africa, named Carol.

Hayley at the Hong Kong Temple


Another shot of Hayley in Hong Kong.

Hayley and Laura

Our niece Hayley is visiting us here in Hong Kong for a few days. Grace thinks she is luverly - and for more reasons than her long, beautiful hair. We are having a great time. Last night we haggled at the Mong Kok Ladies Markets (Laura bought torches, towels; Hayley bargued her way into a pair of 120 HKD shoes for 60). This shot is taken in front of the Hong Kong Temple in Kowloon Tong.

Christmas presents

Miss Katie


Here is Grace with her pre-school teacher, Miss Katie. She is also an Aussie and a terrific teacher.

Woodlands School Christmas Extravaganza


Here is Grace performing with her fellow Penguins (pre-schoolers) at their Christmas concert. She performed 'I'm a little Snowman' and 'Rocking around the Christmas Tree' with great gusto.

Big sister

Eyes on the ball


Look at the concentration, the racquet preparation and the footwork!

Hong Kong Tennis Centre


Charlie has a tennis lesson each Saturday. His coach is from the Philippines and is called DJ, Ben, John, Phil and Tommy. We have a suspicion that it might be a different person each week.

Hong Kong at Christmas-time


Our friends, the Garns, invited us to their home to see the sights and lights of Hong Kong at Christmas-time from their balcony.

Gifts of Christmas


The theme for the Christmas open house this year was 'the Gifts of Christmas'. One of the rooms of our church was set up for visitors to pack personal care packages for refugees in Hong Kong.

Christmas Open House


This picture was taken in December, 2006 in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Behind us is a display of Nativity scenes from around the world.

Holiday Farm - New Territories


Here's Charlie on a school excursion. We thought it was a bit much that he was assigned to carry everyone's lunch and water bottles.

2 Pirates + 1 Princess =


Excitement and fun for some.....confusion for others.

Music Lesson

"That's the green one....and that's the yellow one."

"Should I be playing this piece allegro or al dente, Grandma?"
