Beach with the Herse Family....

A big THANK YOU to GG for getting beach houses so all of the family to get together for a week.  We had a wonderful time relaxing and catching up with everyone!  Fun in the sun was just what the Dr. ordered.  We took a ferry ride to a very cool aquarium.  The kids had fun looking at all the fish.  Craig brought remote controlled helicopters for all the "big kids" to play with.  Craig taught the kids how to make Mimi biscuits.  All in all, a great week filled with laughs and great memories.

Visiting Friends...

We had lots of people to visit during our times in the states.  We were able to see our friends from church before they moved to Singapore.  Luckily for us, we will see them on this side of the world!  We had five new babies to meet and lots of people to catch up with.

College Roommates...

I had five new babies to meet since moving to Hong Kong!  One of which was one of my college roommates little boy, Will.  I have such wonderful friends.  My college roommates came to visit me so I did not have to travel all over to visit everyone after such a long journey.  We had a houseful!  We had visitors from Texas, Charlotte, High Point, and Clayton.  We had 5 little ones age three and under.  We had a lot of laughs and the kids had a lot of fun together.

Build-A-Bear...

Kay's friend Laurel gave her a gift certificate to Build-A-Bear.  This trip was definitely a hi-light for Kay.  She loved putting the "heart" in the bear, giving the bear a bath, picking out the outfit (the most sparkly one in the store) and naming it.  She picked "Bamboo" after where we live in Hong Kong.  

Doctors...Dentists...OH MY!

We had a whirlwind visit to all of our doctors!  We (Craig, Kay and I) visited all of our doctors for our "yearly" visits within six weeks.  It felt like we were visiting a medical professional almost everyday!  

Our visit to Kay's dentist was the best.  I was able to visit with my old co-workers and see my sister-in-law Annelise.  I must say, Kay is one lucky girl to have such a good dentist!
