Moms Group Christmas Party..

We had such a fun time this morning at the moms group Christmas party... Here are a few photos of the boys having fun. The kids went through three stations. Cookie decorating, Books, and a relay race with a nativity...

 Turning in the donations they have been raising for kids in the Philippines... We try to do some sort of service every Dec. with this group.

Bryan's Best Time...

This morning Bryan ran in the Coca Cola 10K, and race he has done several years here in Hong Kong.  Its a really fun venue with free coke and a marching band, so we all tagged along. Bryan was hoping to get a time of 45 something... and he did even better than he had hoped, he ran todays 10k in 44:29! Wow, I am so pleased he reached his goal and proud of him.

Before the race

  Jack and Josiah cheering on the racers..

 Bryans finish

 when ever I watch a race here in HK I am always so impressed with the visually impaired racers and their guides. Many of them run the race very fast and have great times... Its so amazing how they are able to run tethered together.

Bryan and Wade after the race

 Several of my friends ran in this race, I knew Bryan wanted to do it more than I did, so I watched the kids and didn't sign up ;o)

I took these photos earlier in the week... Just another example of how bad these two at taking a photo.... "Jack, smile... Max, Look here... Put down the toy, not in front of your face, look here..." this is my commentary to these photos... ;o)

Jack got to bring Reggie Rino home from school for the weekend. He's a rhyming rino, and he was so excited to have him here.

okay... caught up for now... Enjoy your Sunday...

Will and Rachel Visit

We were SO excited to have my brother Will and his girlfriend Rachel here with us for a week. Especially over Thanksgiving it was nice to have family around.

Here are a few photos from our week.

Camping Weekend...

I'm doing a bit of blogging catchup! So... here's some photos from our camping weekend a week ago..We headed out straight after school.... We couldn't go Sat night because Bryan was running a race Sunday morning and Will was arriving Saturday night. We were able to get our camp set up before the sun set around 6... we spent a relaxing evening eating and hanging out around the fire.

 The night was chilly, but nice. the next morning the boys were up early, but we started a fire and made hot chocolate.

 Pancakes over the fire.

 A morning hike..

 We hiked over the hill to a fishing village... where we saw lots and lots of fish drying.

 View down on the beach were we camped.

 Someone got a little dirty :o)

 Around lunch time two other families showed up to spend the afternoon with us. We all had a blast! Especially the kids.
