Rambles and Ruminations: 25 Days of Christmas - Day 8
http://www.ramblesandruminations.com/2014/12/25-days-of-christmas-day-8.html
Monday, December 08, 2014. 25 Days of Christmas - Day 8. My kids love for me to chaperone their field trips. And, while I do enjoy spending time with them and seeing parts of Beijing I might not normally visit, field trip chaperone is not my favorite pastime. Despite that, I promised I would accompany each of them on at least one field trip this year and Caleb's was this week. Unfortunately, it was also to an ice skating. Um, right. And, so, I did. Caleb was fearless and he had a blast. 88 Miles Per Hour.

Rambles and Ruminations: 25 Days of Christmas - Day 2
http://www.ramblesandruminations.com/2014/12/25-days-of-christmas-day-2.html
Tuesday, December 02, 2014. 25 Days of Christmas - Day 2. One of the children's most favorite things to do at Christmastime is to make gingerbread houses. Before we left the US for China, Kenny had the genius idea to buy several gingerbread house kits. I know we could make gingerbread from scratch, but getting molasses is no small feat and what I can. This particular kit came with 5 miniature buildings, (only one of which was slightly damaged, miraculous indeed! Complete with skating bears. Ground Hog Da...

Wednesday, December 01, 2010. The onset of Advent. Sunday marked the beginning of Advent, but we are officially starting our countdown to Christmas tomorrow.like everybody else.

Rambles and Ruminations: November 2012
http://www.ramblesandruminations.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 12, 2012. Kenny ran a marathon yesterday. Yeah, I'm impressed too. It's not on my bucket list, but it's on his and now it's crossed off forever. He is already talking about the possi bility of running. Future marathons (Beijing has one in the spring and the fall),. But I think he'll spend some time recovering before he actually signs up to run another one. He did pretty well for his first, and maybe only, time and we're all very proud of him! Yea, marathon man!

Rambles and Ruminations: 25 Days of Christmas - Day 6
http://www.ramblesandruminations.com/2014/12/25-days-of-christmas-day-6.html
Saturday, December 06, 2014. 25 Days of Christmas - Day 6. Today we watched a brand new Christmas movie. Well, brand new to us anyway. If you haven't seen it, you should. It didn't make it into our top 5 for Christmas movies, but it's certainly now among the top 10. What are our top 5 you ask? Well, as long as you're asking. I'm also a huge fan of Love Actually, but that is not so much a family friendly film so it didn't make the list. What's your favorite Christmas movie? 25 Days of Christmas - Day 8.

Rambles and Ruminations: September 2012
http://www.ramblesandruminations.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. We took a very quick trip to Canada over the Labor Day holiday. Kenny realized that we hadn't left the country this year, the first time since we got married, and decided that was unacceptable. So, with Claire's brand new passport in hand, we drove ourselves to and across the border. On our way we stopped in Cleveland to visit cousins. We also made a pit stop in Kirtland, Ohio. Kirtland is am important site in Mormon. History and Kenny had never visited before. Peas Stacy Fa...

Rambles and Ruminations: December 2013

Sunday, December 22, 2013. The boys played soccer, or more accurately football, this fall. The format is a little different from what we are used to in the US. Instead of practice during the week and a game on the weekend, this program meets only once a week and Daddy does not have to help coach (yea! Friday, December 20, 2013. Touring China: #3 - Shanghai - Happy Anniversary to Us! Which is beautiful all lit up. We took a taxi to our dinner destination, M on the Bund, a delicious surf and turf resta...

Wednesday, November 05, 2014. It's that time of year again. Actually, it's past that time of year, but I didn't get my act together until now, so let's just pretend this is last month and not the waning days of 2014. We tried a new photographer and I think he did a pretty great job. Herewith a sampling of our photo shoot in Beijing's Chaoyang Park. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 88 Miles Per Hour.
