Watching the baseball

Charlie and Rich had a great time watching their first baseball game.

Josephine - 3 months old

Chubby and cheerful.

Feeding the ducks

The ducks were very comprehensively fed by Charlie and Grace. They seemed quite unmoved by having handfuls of grain hurled at them, and snapped it up.

This photo was taken by Grace - pretty impressive, huh?

Wheeler Historic Farm

This is a lovely little farm close to where we live - you can wander around and look at animals and feed the ducks. We had a lovely day, though the sheep baa-ed a little too loudly for Jane.

We love the grass and sand box, but standing barefoot on grass and sand is still a bit icky......takes a bit of getting used to.

Living in America

We arrived in Utah a month ago now...time has flown, and we are loving the fresh air and the beautiful blue skies. Great to have a garden. Here we are in the process of (slowly) digging up weeds and planting flowers.

Josephine, Grace and Charles

Laura is tired but feeling well. All went well with the labour and delivery. Thanks all, for your well wishes, meals, phone calls, emails and prayers. We are very happy and grateful to have this precious new daughter join our clan - and also deeply appreciative that she is coming into a family that is blessed with such a wonderful extended circle of kith and kin.

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 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 Friends

Our friends the Burninghams (from Idaho and New York), the Chengs (from Hong Kong and Uruguay) and Sisters Iqbal and Mubarak (from Pakistan) shared Christmas lunch with our family. It was lovely.

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.
