Olympics & Attempting culture

The summer Olympics in Beijing have started..... I love watching the Olympics and routing for the US atheletes and the "under-dogs". A can't believe it's been 4 years AGO.... I remember the last Olympics.... I was new to a small town and a my first small little baby to learn how to take care of..... the Olympics was GREAT beacuse it gave me an "outlet" for my first few weeks!! So tonight we've been enjoying the opening ceremonies and testing our geography:)

We pulled out our chopsticks and ate our "stir-fry" dinner:) Just one way for us to attempt to teach the kids about China (the host country for the Olympics this summer)!!


And this is the reality of my attempts to teach my kids..... they totally got silly with the chopsticks....

The Diversity of Toronto

These girls and mother were heading to an engagement party for a relative..... family came in from all over the US to attend this party. Their outfits were so beautiful.





We ate at a Chinese restaurant this evening for supper. The waitress was just geniunely sooo sweet to us and the family....

Just another example of some of the Canadian hospitality we've been shown!! What a blessing!!
