our week...

Another week has flown by, where to the days go. I'm at home with a baby and not even that busy and time just flies! We have been having a blast with our gorgeous little boy, he is so much fun these day. Chewing on everything and drooling like a maddog, we are hoping for some teeth soon :o) We've gotten out the cold teething ring and its a big hit!

We went on a long hike on Sat. The first two pictures we are in a bamboo forest, so beautiful! jack did great in the backpack. Took two naps and we only had to stop once for him to eat. The day was perfect for a hike!

Picnic in the park after Church on Sunday, the weather was amazing this weekend!

Jack learning a new appreciation for literature, good texture he thinks!

Playing in his saucer. At the beginning of this video he is looking at himself in a mirror. Is he vain or what? ;o)

Back in Hong Kong...

After a wonderful Christmas break, its been nice getting back into the swing of life here. The weather was beautiful when we first got back, but has now cooled off a bit. Still better than WI, so I am not complaining :o) Jack is back on HK time and doing well. We borrowed a few new toys from a friend, so he is enjoying playing with/in them.

Mom's sleepy boy, so sweet!


The Johnny Jump up.. Jack LOVES to bounce, but hasn't quite figured out that he can bounce in this... He mostly just sits, although its good while I'm working in the kitchen, gives him a place to be.

Yesterday we had lunch at Christines, here are Josiah and Jack sharing a toy nicely :o)

Trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to get a picture of the three boys. 4,6,8 months...

Jack laying in a bed of roses, literally, as this is a mattress with roses on it :o)

we went hiking on Sunday, Jack was awake for awhile, then took a nice nap!

Happy New Year! In HK we will soon be welcoming in the year of the OX, goodbye Rat :o) We had a wonderful holiday season back in the US. However, I have too many pictures to choose some to post, so here are links to view them... I am going to post a few group shots though. Love and blessings to all!

Our week...

Jack sleeping in the backpack. It's great becuase he's easy to put down when he sleeps here... Although this past week he didn't take a nap longer than 45 min.... not sure what that is about :o)

My Mom's group has a Christmas tea last week. Here we are making necklaces..

Jack is learning how to get his thumb, or other fingers into his mouth for sucking...

Playing with dad and mom....

Jack is learning to play with friends :o) Here he and Josiah are checking each other out, not sure wha they think....

Malcolm and Jack...don't they look like they are having a blast!


We went to a HK product trade show. Very crowded!!!!But great frozen yogert!

Here is a video of Jack and Bryan talking... SOOO cute. I love the way they interact...

We've been busy the last week getting ready for Christmas and hosting parties. Here are some of the other things we've been up to...

eating out-here's Jack under the napkin at lunch :o)

Swimming- OH... and puking on mom in the Jaccuzzi :o)

Jack has learned how to fall asleep in the backpack, so great!

We got to see Santa at the mall.

Well, our guests have left, so its time for an update. We had a great week with our friends Dan and Jess and their baby Ally. Both babies were great, and it wasn't a big deal to have them both in our smallish apartment. We have been in full Christmas swing, advent candles, calendar, and lots of cookie baking! We are hosting Christmas parties for all the MS teachers and staff, so I've been getting ready. The first one is this Thur. We are excited and looking forward to this month, especially going home to the US at the end.

Our Christmas Shopping with Christine and Jess and the babies. We got quite a few looks :o)

Not so easy to get a picture... it would help if they could sit up on their own. Maybe next year :o)

Jack is looking greasy becuase I'm trying to get rid of the red rash on his cheeks. He puks at night then sleeps in it, so his face wasn't looking good. He also slobbers all day, which doesn't help :o)

Jacks frist time holding hands with a girl :o) If only he knew what he was doing :o)

Out for dinner, letting the dads carry the babies...

Not loving wearing the hat

bryan has been waiting for months for Jack to fit into this shirt!

Jack helping decorate Chrismtas cookies (by sititing nicely, so I can do it.)

In the jaccuzzi, or Jackuzzi as we like to call it.

All bundled up to out and run with mom...
