Walt Disneyland Hong Kong!

Trip back to the Shining City

We took a trip back to our old city. We have been gone almost a year and it was so wonderful to go back. It's so much cooler and drier there. But the best part was seeing all our old friends. Actually we couldn't see everyone because it was a short trip.
Here is Reister with our old househelper. She was so happy to see Reister and play with him.

Here is Reister and Mason with Cheng Cheng, my B.F.F.'s son. He's two years old. We went to the People's Park which was so nice and had a new really nice kids' playground.

Here are the high school (now two are in college) that I used to have to my house. They were so grown up!




Here's a group of friends that we used to hang out with often. The lady in pink and the lady in black own a dumpling shop together.

Here's our good friend Lucy enjoying giving Mason a banana.


It was a short, but great trip. We wished we could have stayed longer but it was really awesome anyway.

This was from today - Reister has gotten more and more into playing with Mason

Our househelper gave Mason this big dog and he loves it - he will ride it, hug it, roll around on it...

Mason enjoyed spaghetti this night :)

Mason's First Birthday

Here are the pictures from Mason's birthday - When I load the pictures, they load backwards and then I can't rearrange them (I used to be able to, but now...any tips from other blogger users?)
We had three local families, a foreign family whose youngest is about Mason's age, and a couple of single foreign friends come and eat taco salad and cake. I made the taco salad fixings (except the yummy chips that we bought at Peter's Tex Mex) and the cake (from a box). It was a fun evening and as you can tell, Mason thoroughly enjoyed his cupcake. We bought him three gifts from a website in our country that sells pretty much everything, including american brand toys. One toy was from us, and the other two were from his grandparents (both sides). He enjoyed his Playskool walker thingy, and two Little People sets. We are so blessed to have such a sweet, cute boy in our family. He has become very affectionate in the last week and we love it! He's saying new words left and right and can even hold up one finger to tell you hold old he is. I'll try to post more pictures soon - there are a lot of cute ones!
