Kyra's First Violin Concert

Long ago, Kyra saw one of our babysitters from back home, Katie Grey, play the violin in church and I remember her turning to me saying that she'd like to learn the violin. Well, here in Hong Kong, we had the perfect opportunity to make that happen and she has really enjoyed learning. I'm hoping she will continue on with it. I was very proud to see her and listen to her first strings concert.

Baseball Season Begins...

The baseball games have begun and the season will over some time in March!! The boys have pulled out one win so far but we hope for more!

Swim Meet in Singapore

In November, Trey, Kyra and Tyson competed in a swim meet in Singapore along with their teammates on the Hong Kong Island Stingrays. Tyson received his first medal on his first relay in an official swim meet. He was the lead off swimmer, doing a 200 meter freestyle relay and his team came in second. Yeah Tyson!! All three did a fabulous job giving it their best.

We decided that since we were flying three kids to Singapore and none of us (except for Craig) had been there before, we would spend a couple of days enjoying some fun activities. We filled our one full day with a trip to Universal Studios, a visit to "The World's Largest Candy Store", riding the luge, "driving" a segway, doing the zipline and doing the Night Safari at the zoo. Phew!! Yes, it was a long day for all of us but fun was had by all!

Halloween

Unfortunately, with the chaos of the evening of trick-or-treating, I missed getting photos of all the kids in their costumes this year. Craig was doing magic tricks at the door again, which was a big hit. Tyson was Luigi this year (he was Mario last year) which I wish I would have gotten a photo of, but he was done trick-or-treating and out of his costume by the time I was done taking Keely around. Plenty of candy to be had here in Hong Kong...just like home...

Kyra - Soccer Tournaments

Here are some photos of Kyra's recent soccer tournaments. This year there is a new "D-Grade" team, which mostly comprised of 6th and 5th graders, but Kyra was amongst a few other 4th grade girls that were asked to practice and compete with this newly formed team. They have had great success and Kyra has enjoyed every minute of playing time.
