And so it begins.
I am starting to…
Wonder if my Chinese teachers think it is rude to wear sandals…Sweat while doing the dishes…Consider replacing all my clothes with ones made out of CoolMax…Sleep without any covers…Wish my hair was long enough to make a ponytail…Take lukewarm showers…Kill several mosquitoes in our apartment each day…Long for something cold to drink…Wear [...]
13 Month Update
As you know, Ellie had her one-year check-up last week, which resulted in the MMR which resulted in the fever which probably wasn’t from the MMR but just some mystery virus. The fever is gone, the medicine is almost gone, but Ellie is still under the weather. We’ll see how the weekend goes.
That’s the [...]
The Cottontails
We didn’t really do anything special for Easter. Partly because we aren’t sure how much of the basket, eggs, and chocolate bunny thing we want to do, partly because you can’t really find that stuff very easily in Taiwan, and partly because we are lazy. Ellie ended up sick on Easter anyways, so it didn’t [...]
Two Times to See the Doctor
Last Wed. I took Ellie to the doctor for her one-year check-up. On Friday she got her first round MMR at the health department. On Sunday she had a fever. Boo.

Kristie: Oh yeah, so what did you give up?
Maria: (looks confused) Well pretty much everything.
Kristie: Everything! I thought you would say candy or soda. (Finally realizes that [...]
Happy Easter!
He is Risen! He is risen indeed!

Into the “Wild”
Last Saturday we went with a group from our church to Xitou, in the
mountains of Taiwan. Of the places I have been in Taiwan, Xitou is one
of my favorites. The air is fresh, the forest is lovely, the fog is
romantic, and the hike is pleasant.
This is how excited Ellie was to go to Xitou….…in [...]
They’re Back!
Check out the sidebar to the right! For those of you who miss our old photo galleries, we got most of them fixed up and they are now linked to this page. We hope you like the new slide-show style.
We also have a lot of pictures that haven’t yet been put into galleries, so be [...]
Tough Girl
Ellie is sporting her first two major injuries. A busted lip and a skinned knee independently earned. I can’t tell if they hurt her or not, she hasn’t slowed down one bit.
Mmm, Mmm, Good
Don’t you just love licking the beaters?
