Yes, I am back in Hong Kong…
So sorry for the lack of updates… have been nutty crazy the last few days. I actually made it back from Hong Kong the end of last weekend after a last minute red-eye came available. Since then, I have been pretty much "nose to the grindstone" at work and completing Tess‘ famous list… the list that seems to inflate each day.
Meanwhile, about a month ago it occured to me that pretty soon we would not have enough playground toys for the kids. As they learn to walk, they will each have their moments where the limited number of toys we have just wont cut it, and they are not always going to be happy riding the Kettler Trike as one big family! Therefore, I have been on the look-out for dirt cheap playground toys. Yesterday I found a perfect tractor and picked it up for next to nothing. I have wanted one of these for Sebastian for a long time, but brand new they are very expensive. After picking it up, much to my surprise I discovered it even comes with a trailor! That means, Seb can tow one of the trips (or friends) around the playground anytime he likes. What’s better… the Terrific Trio will grow into it, too. The hunt continues. I figure we need one more item. I have added it to Tess‘ list so, it automatically becomes her idea!
Oh yes, and did I say walking? I think Tess has been keeping it a surprise that Sela is walking but yesterday one of our amahs let is slip out. "Sir, Sela is walking now!" she exclaimed.
"Yes, but only a few steps at a time," I replied. "No, SHE IS WALKING and Carys is almost walking, too!"
The surprise is not ruined… I will be very excited to seem them all.
