relaxing day you may not have realized you needed the location is dreamy the staff are kind and attentive the owners have set it up to make it very comfortable and stress free for the guests just go video review in asl getting there and back the walk is a bit of a trek but the people at maya chan send you a very clear map and instructions if you look at google maps satellite or the picture below you ll see that the port dock is long great for taking photos though we walked quickly through the maze of shops without stopping following the instructions and photos from maya chan and found the

the house i m typically a procrastinator but was so proud of how well i had prepared for this celebration i had ordered food a week in advance we weren t able to reduce or cancel or food orders but

apps february 20 2021 tj and tian enjoying a warm fire we are not built for this i say this a lot when referring to cold weather in texas also personally i ve spent the past 20 years in either las vegas or north or central texas where it rarely dropped below 30 and when it gets that cold it s short lived since quarantine we ve been pretty good about keeping our food supply stocked up to last at least a couple of weeks or even a month if push came to shove we have a deep freezer and we use a water delivery service that s about as far as have gone with prepping then early in february we learned of record breaking low temperatures headed our way while we knew it would likely snow and be very cold we had no idea what was in store for us we certainly put too much trust in the state and city infrastructures that provided basic essentials such as electricity and clean water we also didn t imagine the cold would knock out internet services and i 1 comment read more leaving 2020 behind texas snowstorm edition get link facebook x pinterest email other apps february 18 2021 before this week i had drafted a blog post titled among us 2020 memories i had planned to reflect back on the neighborhood walks hikes and baking we did early in the pandemic then how the routines became so mundane after 8 weeks or so then this storm blew in and i couldn t even focus but before i move to february 2021 let me start with a few ways we ve stayed distracted and busy during the past 11 months the upsides to the hellish year of pandemic for years ken had been looking at electric bikes so he decided to take the dive and order a couple of rad power bikes that was something fun for the people over age 16 in the family eventually we got a child seat for the bike so our grandkid could also enjoy getting out we also found other family fun distractions like playing among us having video chats on the facebook portal jumping on the trampoline that was handed down to us the week we moved to austin thanks suzie chalk art on the driveway post a comment read more changed thoughts on adoption get link facebook x pinterest email other apps january 01 2021 i have so much to learn i m like a first time mom all over again 10 years from now i m sure i ll look back at some comments i ve made over the past year and laugh at myself but i don t believe i m going in blind tian with a grandfather from his foster family in china well it s been just about 10 years since i wrote that and i was right and wrong i do look back at some things and laugh but i also cringe at a lot i wasn t going in blind but as i have learned the more i know there is to learn i cringe at posts like this my statements about provision for the adoption are not even theologically sound it s just something i learned to repeat without really thinking about the implications this was god s plan and god provided the funds for us to adopt are now phrases that i totally disagree with how can i say that god decided to give us tens of thousands of dollars to adopt but not pro 4 comments read more christmas 2020 get link facebook x pinterest email other apps december 23 2020 happy holidays and merry christmas no
