Pics from our summer. Playing at the pool, b-day party, eating, drinking, fun with tai-po, etc. etc. etc.

Summer 2010 – Baby Auntie’s b-day party… kiddie pool and slide.

This whole summer E1 was swimming with a swimsuit with built in floatation devices. But after buying a “prettier” swimsuit she decided to wear that one. Unfortunately it did not have those built in floaties. But in our amazement, she was able to wade in the water as well keep her head afloat for a long while. She was also able to swim a good length by herself.

Of course we were close by just in case. She’s still a bit afraid of putting her head in the water, but it took a lot of courage for her to enter the pool with no help. It scared us to no end, but also was a great joy seeing the improvement over the summer. (as well as LAST SUMMER)

Hopefully she wasn’t too scared and will be trying it again soon and hoping to take some vids of her swimming.

Swim on!

Relative of relative from China needed to pass VA DMV exam but couldn’t read English. So I compiled this list of vocab words that may or may not be accurate… anyways here’s the list: TRAFFIC TERMS in CHINESE

Let me know if you know of any other resources.

I’ll read through these docs as well to get better vocabs:

Rules of the Road PRC

Chinese Rules – GOV.CN

VA DMV Manual – http://www.dmv.virginia.gov/webdoc/pdf/dmv39.pdf

I have a bunch more of our target adventure. here’s the lateset installment:

What to do on a Friday night? GO TO TARGET!!

Taylor doing a good job of keeping the kiddies entertained.

I guess when you got lots of little kids they are bound to get restless through a thirteen course dinner.

More from our time in NY. Note: E1 was probably the leader of the pack…

Visited relatives up in NY this weekend.
