I started writing this post more than a week ago with the intention of publishing it last Wednesday. With a toddler, a full time job, and my mom in town, I should have known better. But now I have found a few quiet minutes to write about our Sunday afternoon trip to M50, Shanghai’s (mostly) …
This month we’re celebrating one year in Shanghai. I’ve been thinking a lot about this anniversary because our first days in Shanghai were not easy. It was a massive feat, both logistically and emotionally, to move a 6 month old across the Pacific. As first time parents we were still sorting out life with an …
I spent the week of August 6th in Seattle visiting family, friends, and my sweet nephew Rogan who turned 1 on July 31st! As usual, the trip was a whirlwind, and when I was packing up to head back to DC I could hardly believe that nearly a week had passed! Here are some highlights …
Well, more of a week wrap-up. We had a wonderful/busy/strange week, although at times overshadowed by the tragedies that seemed to keep occurring around the country – from the Boston bombings, to the explosion at the fertilizer plant in Texas. A hard week for America, and Americans – especially, of course, any person who was …
On Scott’s last day in DC, Erin took him to the Baltimore aquarium! While you may have heard me mention that it is not as impressive as Monterey, it is still pretty awesome. I asked Erin to forward some pictures, and you’ll notice she is missing – but, she got some good ones of my …
We are slowly (very slowly) getting settled in. After a quick move on Saturday, we both had to head back to busy weeks at work. As we won’t be getting the internet set up at our house until Monday, I have set up shop at a Starbucks in College Park, MD next to the University of …
I’ve been doing a terrible job of keeping up these last couple of weeks. With my new position at work, I’ve been working longer, busier hours, and we have been burning the candle at both ends getting ready for the move. I have been in Seattle this weekend and will post a few pictures of …
We got back late last night from spending the weekend in Santa Rosa for Erin’s cousin Gena’s wedding. But, first, we spent Saturday afternoon wine tasting (I know, you’re shocked). We clean up nice! And so do they… 🙂 For those of you who don’t know (so, anyone not related to Erin…) Gena and Andy …
Finally! Here are some pictures from the lunch we had at my grandma’s last weekend. It was the first time my Uncles Andrew and Rico met Rogan, and also the first time Rogan made the trek from Bothell to Burien for a gathering at my grandma’s house. My grandma’s has always been a very comforting …
This past weekend we took a trip to Seattle for my ten year high school reunion. Erin met Rogan for the first time, and on Saturday we had a family lunch. I have so many pictures I want to post from the weekend, but I am working on this during a lunch break at work, …
