and I was......where while this was happening?????



Today I was reminiscing about Beijing. I have had so many people ask me if I miss it, or if I am just plain glad to be back home. The funny thing is I still feel like it is a second mini home for me.......I mean...I have family, friends, favorite chinese places, shopping and Starbucks at Christmas time (with Frankie and Ella serenading whoever stops by during the winter season).  So, I think I can honestly say that YES I do miss it, but not enough to drop everything from my first home and completely regroup back there. Perhaps one day I will spend  a summer there because that was the only season I missed out on. That way I could indulge myself with some of my favorite fruits in the heat, and perhaps get a water fight going with our hose...still the water situation is quite sketchy.  I desperately miss the fact that I MISSED my little cousin's walking bonanza. I just received a video today with Connor walking....so sweet. I was with him in China before he could even sit up.  There isn't a whole to say for me being their for my actual nephew either. Cute little Jamison was RUNNING on skype for me before I realized how good of a walker he was.  Apparently I have a knack for being in the right place at the wrong time:S Here's my ode in photos to the two little boys in my life.
