It’s been 1 week since we arrived back home in China and I think we are finally over jet lag. As much as we loved being in Texas with family, it has really been nice being back. It may sound crazy or cheesy, but we really do love it here and we feel that this is where we are supposed to be.

Since being back, we’ve been able to see a few friends and spend some time at our local park across the street. Everyone is preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year (starts tonight!), so the atmosphere is fun and festive… Elise loves it!!!

Below are a few pictures that capture this past week…

We’ve spent a lot of time at the park, blowing bubbles, sliding down “slides”, and watching Elise make friends…

We also celebrated Valentine’s day with heart-shaped pancakes and a little sesame street…

It’s good to be back. This also means I will be blogging more often, so be on the lookout for the next one… I’m thinking I’ll talk a bit about Chinese New Year – history, traditions, etc.

And for your viewing pleasure:
