Who would have thought we would have learned more about Sweden in China than in Minnesota? These darling soccer jerseys were birthday gifts from our friends and neighbors -- The Falcks. Jin is really into playing soccer -- and he likes to play Goalie the best I think. We have a long weekend this weekend due to the Tomb Sweeping holiday -- this is the day when the Chinese go to their relatives' graves and pay respects.
We are hunkering down for a very very busy April. Jeff will be traveling to Vietnam for two days and then I will be gone for a record 10 days for a work retreat and training -- first in Beijing and then going on to Zhengzhou in Henan Province. I have to lead the training of about 20 people and come up with all of the content to keep us busy for five days -- so I am quite stressed these days, but trying to keep cool.
Sunny had a Teddy Bear picnic this past week at one of her classmates houses. She took very first Teddy Bear -- the one Grandma and Grandpa gave her when she was a baby. Qi Qi also had a field trip this week to a farm where they grow organic vegetables. Jin is proving to be quite the little fundraiser. He and I sold 11 stuffed panda bears worth 1050 RMB (about 140 U.S. Dollars) to help his class sponsor a real panda in Sichuan through Panda's International.
We are off to buy chocolate donuts at the clubhouse.
We have some more interesting photos to post later. Stay tuned....
