Here is Will and his buddy Stockton playing in the childrens market in Shanghai.  Will loved having his friend to visit.

I'll post more pictures later, they are taking too long right now.

The first year we moved to China we were invited to a Halloween Party. We had only been in China a short while and had fun getting to know the people in the branch.


Last year at the branch Halloween Party Will was Santa Clause, me and Taylor his elfs. I stood outside practically the entire party holding my little Santa Clause who couldn't calm down. He was fussy every night, it seemed, for the first 4-5 months of his life (A lesson I learned from that: he's tired! Put him to bed!).

This Halloween Taylor will be in the U.S. :( We are sad he won't be here.

Ty and Sarah came and visited us here this past week! We are so happy they could come. W. sure liked waking up to a friend every morning. He loved having a partner in crime. They would stand out on the balcony every day and scream to the people below doing their morning tai chi, and get into the flower pots. We enjoyed our fair amount of massages--out and at home, shopping, shopping,...and more shopping.

I was able to download some summer photos from their camera. We celebrated our 3rd anniversary this summer with them and Seth and Meagan. We went waterskiing at Jordanelle, and then to a quaint Bed and Breakfast in Midway. We are thankful to have such great friends. I don't know if it's normal to celebrate wedding anniversaries with friends, but we always have, and it's a blast.
Tay, you're the greatest husband and Dad ever, and I love you. Cheers to 3 years of marriage!

Bali - Bangkok

WB and I were able to accompany TP on his business trip to Bali and Bangkok these past two days. He asked if we wanted to come along...I didn't have to take a moment to think about that one!
We spent our days hanging out on the beach while TP worked. He had one full free day where we all sat on the beach. We listened to the waves and the water ebb and tide, the sky a perfect shade of beach blue with white clouds passing slowly...and we chased Will around as he tried to eat sand and swim alone in the ocean. Since this trip came up sudden I forgot to pack W's swim gear and summer hat...He sure looks cute in his new gear.
TP had a business dinner on the beach to his favorite type of meal--seafood. I'm not sad I missed out on that one.

Bangkok is a cool city. I am most impressed with a nearby park where we ran. It was a fairly large park with a lake in the middle, similar to some back in our hometown, but this park was filled with runners, groups of people doing yoga, tai-chi, badminton, and most impressive of all were the groups of people doing step aerobics with loud stero systems. It made me happy that so many people were enjoying exercise.
And, they have the best mango sticky rice here, naturally. And they don't skimp on the rice. SO TASTY! More than a couple times we had to take second glances at some "women" who had man hands and features.  Thailand is the world's capital for 'ladyboys'.  Nastsy. We also experienced a tuk tuk - little taxi type thing.

WB makes so many people smile. He can now wave on command when I say, "Shuo Ni hao" (say hello). Or if I say "gei wo" (give me) he'll hand over whatever it is he has. He is very smart and picks up on so much lately. He can say 'Baba' (it means Dad, in chinese). He can also say 'Dadda', and 'Momma'. 'Baba' and 'dada' are the favorite. 'Momma' only when he's hungry, but it's super darling. When I say, "chew your food" he chomps his mouth. I am so impressed he can understand me. He seriously brings so much happiness into our lives. Oh, lest I forget, he can also throw a pretty good tantrum. He's doing it right now. We are so proud of him :)
