typhoon

This weekend we had a super-typhoon. That was the actual term they used for the crazy winds we had Saturday night. The next morning we woke to find trees down all over. The most depressing was our neighbor's big banyan tree. It tore up the sidwalk and had left a void where it once grew. Mother Nature can be as fierce sometimes. Nearly everyone who had an outdoor, plastic shed, found it in pieces. One friend had someone's grill through their car window. Our yard fared pretty well. We were cleaning up for a while, though. We filled 15 big black garbage bags from the debris in our back yard alone. Here's the kicker--it's not even typhoon season yet. I'm guessing this year is going to be a whopper.

It's been a while...

Yes, it's been a while. My computer died. Now it's fixed. I could come up with other excuses, but mostly I just haven't felt like posting. So here's a quick recap:

My mom visited in October.
We celebrated Christmas.
I went to see my brother in Taiwan.
My in-laws came to stay in January.
Christian and I spent his birthday in Hong Kong.
We flew space-A to Utah for my mom's wedding.
Jackson turned 6!


Sydney turned 8! That's right, 8!









Easter!
Eggs from a local egg shop. No cartons I guess.

Jackson's first day of Kindergarten


Today Jackson headed off to kindergarten. From our balcony I watched him play at recess. He looked like such a big kid. It helps that he's the tallest in his class, but he just seems so much more confident than he used to be. There were a few tears...from me.

Hey batter, batter!


We went to a professional baseball game this week. It started off with a downpour, but nothing stops the Japanese. They are serious baseball fans, very polite baseball fans, but serious lovers of the game. Notice how we are the only white people in the stadium? We're not in Kansas anymore!
