Home Sweet Home

We had a good flight back to Hong Kong, and even got to take a blitz sight- seeing tour of San Fransisco on our lay- over. We landed Sunday evening in beautiful, clear weather and took this photo of our neighborhood, Ma On Shan, from the plane.

After the 11 different places we stayed while in the states, it was nice to lay our heads' on our own pillows again. Jason's head only touched his pillow for a few hours, before jetting out the door to teach summer school Monday morning. I've spent the week getting us settled back into a routine and reconnecting to HK time, space, and culture. Josiah has made the transition from the crib to his big boy bed and we began potty training (more on that to come). We've really been enjoying our view from the 35th floor and watching the colors constantly changing on the ocean. The weather is hot, humid, and typhoony (what a fun word!)

Glad to hear you are home and things are getting back to normal. Beautiful pics as usual. It was so great to see all the pics of the different stages of your trip. I wish we could have met up. I can't wait to hear about the potty training. To my dismay Taylor could care a less about the potty :(. People tell me when they're ready it just happens.
