Summer vacation is 2 weeks away and we are all getting very excited to see our families. Brad has been on a local week without walls trip with his students, enjoying days filled with hiking around Hong Kong. I am so thankful that he didn't have to travel overseas this year. Today is his last hiking day with the students and it is currently POURING rain....not the most fun way to hike (and Rudy is along with him...and Rudy is a dog who HATES getting wet!)
Joy got a new bathtub this week, as she no longer fits in the sink...and we only have a shower. We bought the biggest bathtub so that she can use it for a while...but it is kind of a tight squeeze with me and the tub in the shower. Good thing we have an abnormally HUGE shower for Hong Kong.
Here's where Brad is today (Saturday):
Tai Long Wan Beach, Sai Kung Country Park (the other Big Wave Bay)
Perfect pool hike
Big wave bay (on Hong Kong Island)
Joy is getting bigger but her whole torso is still smaller than daddy's hand!
Napping in her crib is still difficult and Joy is winning the battle. A couple days ago she screamed for 45 minutes in her crib and when moved to the swing still didn't sleep. She likes sleeping in the carrier, if I am walking around but that can't go on forever! Oh well I am trying to not get too worked up about it all since summer is coming and routines will be disrupted. Sometimes I feel like "mommyhood" is a full time job that I should have had more training on before I started :-) I should have got a masters in being a mommy instead of ESL! HA
Love the new pics! She is getting so big- I am counting down the days :)I will see you guys in exactly 14 days- We get to leave for England in 11 days!!!
ReplyDeletehi guys! The pictures of your hiking trips are great! What a fun way to spend a week with your students. What a great job you have Brad!
ReplyDeleteloved the new pictures of Joy....can't wait to hold her in less than 2 weeks!! Keep working on having her sleep in her bed....she will learn eventually that beds are for sleeping wherever she in the world :-) And Yes, Mommyhood is indeed a full time job :-) and you are doing a great job!! Come to grandma and grandpa's house, so we can give you a little help :-)
