Well we are off for our Spring Vacation, we leave tomorrow and will return 1 month later.

Lots of travelling, planes, cars, maybe a boat or two.
Sun, Sand, and good food.

Mom and Dad will join us on the 24th of Jan. we are all very very excited.

Hopefully this internet problem will be solved before our return. My kids aren’t turning my hair grey it’s this internet.

Love to you all, and maybe some updates along our journey.

Well, I think the internet is starting to work a bit better. I must admit I have been pretty frustrated with the whole thing, what the heck did people do before internet.

There seems to be so much that has happened since I last wrote and I can’t even think of where to start.

Mischa in the hospital for 6 days.

My poor husband sick - like my dad says it must have been pretty powerful to bring him down.

Finishing my job (in a sense) to see what’ s on the horizon

Christmas

New Years

And now, we leave on Sat. on our Spring (Chinese New Year) vacation. Am I ready!? Who cares, like my mother always says.. All you need is….

MONEY, (OR CREDIT CARD), A CHANGE OF CLOTHES, AND I.D. I totally agree with her other than the change of clothes does she mean one change of clothes?

Just in case I don’t get on this site again for awhile, I wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year (it’s the year of the pig).

The Engleson’s will have there baby any day after Friday at 3:30pm, so I wish them well, and maybe I’ll whip out to the hospital on Sat.a.m. before our flight.

Love to you all.

A very Happy New Year to all our family and friends all over the world.
We ring in 2007 with healthy and happy kids. As for resolutions – HHMM!!?? – top 10 – in no particular order
1. More chitchatting – I know I know can you believe it!? Family back home would say I need to do the opposite, but here it is.
2. Better organizational skills – me not organized – HHMM!
3. More massages and facials (that’s one reason why were here)
4. Pop-ins
5. Healthy lifestyle (what exactly does that mean?)
6. Love, Learn and Laugh
7. Understanding
8. Mind, body and soul
9. Celebrate

Well, I have been lost without my internet lately, no blog, no e-mails,I’m trying to book hotels, flights, I can’t do my banking, can’t MSN - what is the world coming to in the 21st century. There was an earthquake in Taiwan and it disrupted the lines under the ocean, it’s getting better, but I think it will be slow for the next few days.

So I have some New Years resolutions that I will share with you, but now is not the time.
