Been way too long since the last post. There is, however, an ol' DuBois adage of, no news is good news. So, that'll be what I'll say we're pleading... But, wil try to share more on the blog from now on.
After a wonderful summer, full of quality time with friends and family, a few projects, and some strange weather, we're back in Beijing for our fourth year. It's hard to imagine that we're already this far into our overseas experience. But, looking back at all we've done, we've been blessed with some amazing experiences. Lord willing, it shall continue.
Baia continues to blossom into a very strong willed, beautiful girl. Not one to back down from much, we've been the recipients of a few colorful tantrum fits, unlike anything Kieran or Kellan put on us. She has her circle of friends, and some great routines during the week when we're away at school that keeps her busy and social.
Kellan is in the 4 year old class at school. He loves school and nearly always flies out of bed on school days wondering when he can get to school. Whether it's riding the bus, playing on the playground, eating lunch, or discovering new things in class, he's up for whatever the experience has in store for him. And he's usually going 100 miles per hour as he jumps in.
Kieran, now a second grader, has become more and more involved in sports. Soccer, baseball, and basketball are all on his weekly diet of extra activites after school. He also is finding success as a reader, thus instilling a love of reading.
Laurie and I continue to enjoy our roles as educators in the elementary and middle schools. There are always things to do, so we rarely have quiet moments in school or at home. With that said, we'd have it no other way.
Outside of school, Laurie took Kieran to a Duke vs. China basketball game a few weeks ago. One of those experiences that are offered and a person can't pass it up.
We also have booked a trip to Boracay in the Phillipines over the Christmas break. While it's hard to be away at such a special time of the year, we are looking forward to a tropical holiday in a place that many call paradise.
We wish you all well wherever you are. Stay tuned for a post in the near future with some photos.
