Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent our 3rd Thanksgiving in Asia & Sadie's 2nd. We celebrated by having high tea (brunch) at our favorite spot-the Shangri-La Hotel's Rose Varanda. Counted our blessings with a toast.

Sadie enjoyed the chocolate fondue fountain almost as much as her mother.

The girls got shawls when the AC got too chilly (what will we do in zero degree weather???).

Of the many things we gave thanks for this year, here are a few we noted; our daughter, our Asia experience, our health & our beloved family & friends. To many we'll see you soon & to some this is Good Bye for now...

Dress Up

Gymboree

Sadie's been enrolled in Gymboree classes since late January 2009. (We are sad that MN does not have a Gymboree franchise.) She did gym class every Saturday with Daddy (below) & Music every Monday with Mommy. She LOVES Gymboo the clown & always was after the big stuffed one in class (above). She also was good at finding little Gymbo when the teacher hid him (below).

After class the kids line up to get stamps on their hands, feet & tummy.

Music Time!

Sadie's first in line for her stamps.

Sadie's favorite Gymboree teachers; Teacher Irene & Teacher Fa

Swim Lessons

Sadie's been lucky enough to have some private swim lessons here at the Treetops pool. One of the many things will miss about Singapore; the warm weather, getting outside everyday & swimming.

Sadie in Action!

Vietnam Video

I recently completed trips to Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand but unfortunately did not get many photos that would be interesting to anyone that doesn't work with me.

Here is one video I took trying to capture the traffic in Ho Chi Minh:

and a quick photo of their electricity system:

More China Pictures

Here are some more interesting pics from my time in China.

Here is one of me in front of the Forbidden Palace in Beijing:
