Baseball Update

PHOTOS: 1) Trey pitching 2&3) Outs at First Base! 4) Trey sliding into home with the winning run 5) Victory celebrated by the team

Trey's baseball season is nearly over and to say the competition was stiff may be an understatement. Except for one other "U.S." team, the Chinese and Japanese teams are more like year-round teams. But, our boys gave it their all each time they got on the field. Although there weren't many games in the win column, I'm sharing a couple photos from a recent victory with Trey sliding into home for the winning run (as well as a couple other photos). It was tense, but very exciting. It has been a long season and they have one make-up game left for a game that was rained out last week. Go Red Sox!

Visit to 10,000 Buddhas

I went on a bit of an outing last month to see the 10,000 Buddhas. I am including a couple of pictures of the visit. This is a place here in Hong Kong and is a popular tourist stop. It is a bit of a hike up to the place where the walls of small buddhas are, but everything is, so that was no surprise.

Kyra's Hockey Team

Kyra continues to play hockey here in Hong Kong. She has been such a trooper despite the "not so convenient" schedule. Her and Craig are usually picked up by her friend & her dad on Sunday mornings, most often around 5:45am to get to hockey on time. She loves the games, but could do without the practices! Surprise, Surprise...

Keely Celebrates Chinese New Year in Preschool

At the close of her second week of preschool, Keely had a celebration to recognize the upcoming Lunar New Year. They could dress in traditional Chinese dress and were to bring traditional Chinese savory snacks. She loved the excuse just to put on another dress. She is the Mandarin Speaking class so she spends half her time in English and the half in Mandarin.

Tyson's Baseball

Tyson's baseball season has now come to a close. It was a good season and Tyson had a lot of fun. He continues to grow so fast that he is nearly a head taller than anyone else in his grade...which makes him quite the powerful hitter. This may mean playing with older kids next year as most of his batting resulted in home runs. Great for his ego, but perhaps also a sign that he should move up a group!
