Welcome Uncle Herschel

This morning Gabrielle asked: "where is Uncle Herschel?"

"He went back to America"

"Oh, I want him to come back to our house!"

This sums up how our kids feel about my older brother, Uncle Herschel. 

Though delayed a bit (NEVER EVER fly through LAX), he did arrive and enjoyed six full days taking in our life here-- all the sights, smells, sounds, and tastes. It was his first time in Asia, and that made it all the more fun. Our kids were SO excited to show him their world.

He dove right in and eagerly participated in all we had planned! 

It was certainly not your tourist version of China! 

Here the kids spent the afternoon making welcome signs, which they held up and even did a little dance to at the airport...

 The spent a lot of time on these....

Though you can't see it, Tobin had a whole story scene going around his sign.
His visit was a great Christmas gift to us!
Details to come!
