Vivi in bloom
After the group shot session, Asher and I returned to the red couch for a few more shots. The lighting is so lovely in the White Swan with the ceiling high windows and I couldn’t resist trying to get just a few more shots of Miss Vivi while she was in her traditional Chinese outfit. After all, the red couch… Read More
the last day
Today was our last day in China. *insert big sigh* I can’t wait to get home. It has been a great trip in many ways, though. I just really, really miss my kiddos. And my husband. And my big, soft bed. And my fast, bookmarked Mac. And lots of other things I don’t really think about until I’m without them…. Read More
smitten
Sometimes it feels like Groundhog Day here the island. You get up, and eat the same breakfast. Visit the same shops. Come back to the same room. Go to bed and do it all over again the next day. Boring, sometimes yes. But comforting as well. It’s really been a wonderful time here with Vivi. Honestly, every day we see… Read More
a bit about Vivi
For today, instead of rehashing another day on Shamian Island, I thought I’d share a bit more about her. Vivi is doing wonderfully. We are surprised daily by the changes in her. She is outrageously loveable. Without even trying to be. She’s got her own thang going on, and you can either watch from the sidelines, or you can join… Read More
"hua hua"
It was a beautiful day. Sunny with a high of about 70. Perfect in my book. The day started out a bit wobbly as Vivi had a rough night’s sleep. Because of her vaccinations yesterday, I think she was a bit uncomfortable overnight, but thankfully she managed to shake it off as the day progressed. We spent most of the… Read More
out and about
Why is it that when I’m home, I must get a solid 9 hours of sleep to be of any value during the day… but send me to China, and come 4:00 AM, and I can barely keep my eyes closed. I actually got out of bed this morning closer to 5:00, as anything earlier is really just the night… Read More
Guangzhou
We’ve blessedly arrived in Guangzhou. We had an awesome time in Guilin and were sad to leave this afternoon. But it’s always wonderful to arrive in Guangzhou. It means our next stop is home. Most of our day today, like yesterday, was spent with the Trower family. We met at 10:30 and drove to the wholesale market to buy winter… Read More
night, night
I stink! My bride is in China and I got task saturated and did not post this until tonight (morning in China). Man, how does she do all these things while maintaining her sanity… I can barely get to the computer before someone is hurt, hungry, harrassed, or hustling me to do something they know is wrong… Anyway, back to… Read More
