It's October!!

Hello October!! This is one of my favorite months in Hong Kong!! Lots of sunny days and still warm enough to swim, but it no longer feels like we live in a sauna. There has been a cooler breeze in the mornings which is absolutely glorious. This post is going to be a smattering of random photos to fill in the gaps from the last couple weeks. The biggest event was our friends the Sauders visiting from Cambodia. We absolutely LOVED seeing them and traipsing around Hong Kong with them.  We had so much fun that I barely have a photo from our whole time together (what happened?)

I started back in school for the first time in a decade. So far I am loving my first graduate class and the chance to sweep some cobwebs off my mom- brain. This is my office while Annabelle takes her afternoon nap

Here is Annabelle's signature eyebrow look

On special nights before bed daddy gives the kids a geography lesson on the big map in their room. They love it (of course kids love most things that delay bedtime)

 We've been doing some fall baking (with the air conditioning on). This pie turned out so delish

 Hong Kong had a crazy historic week of protests. Can you find us? Just kidding we weren't there, but we sure heard a lot about it

 I found Annabelle doing this

Flashback to 2010- here is Josiah doing the exact same thing!!!

And his happened. 

 The boys have been having fun planning what to build with this pallet

 We daily watch the progress on this house being built behind us

 Anybody have  a caption for this face?

 This is what happens after you've been friends with someone for 8 years, you start rubbing off on each other

 Our kids fight a lot. Like way too much. But every once in a while a moment like this spontaneously happens and we're reminded that we all love each other. Thank you Jesus for those moments!
