A Special Shout-out....

....to Nolen and Sam Bowerman in Downers Grove, IL (and Lily too...)
They are two special little (or not so little anymore) boys who graciously went though all their old toys from dinosaurs to Duplex Legos to Rescue Heroes and gave what they outgrew to Anderson Xiao Jun! I am SURE he will love all the toys and enjoy playing with them as much as Nolen and Sam did. Thanks! We look forward to seeing you guys again soon...maybe this summer at your cottage. You can see in the pictures I have even put a few of the dinosaurs on display under his bedside table so they are ready and waiting for him when we get home.
We hope you guys will keep following the blog and maybe we can Skype from China?...ask your Mom.
Yes, today I got technical...I am officially a Skyper! I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up and look forward to using it in China and after since we are not close to family and lots of friends. We also are working on our visa apps and we filled all our "just in case" prescriptions from our travel and IA docs for scabies, traveller's belly, sleep aids and antibiotics for XJ. Hope none of it is needed!
