Korean American Girl in Swedish T-shirt in China!

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....
