The Pagoda and the Moon

Were to begin…We are coming up on our 3 year anniversary this next week and you would think we could come up with something exciting do to here in China, but all we want is a dinner alone J hopefully that can at least happen. I can’t find much time for blogging mostly because my computer is also Josh’s TV. So, while we are relaxing and he doesn’t need to much of me, I still can’t get on the computer for anything. So, we have been busy. I started school, just one class but I only have time for it at night, plus I still tutor Mon-Thurs and Saturday mornings. I feel so overwhelmed sometimes. My only time to get anything done is at 1:30 in the morning which makes for an interesting next day. But it is all new so we just need to find our routine. It seems like once a week we have a family knock on our door to ask me to tutor there child. So, word of mouth is amazing around here. We are really into Downton Abby  and love that show but just don’t watch a lot of TV. I thought Spencer would get a break after the group got here in Aug but things still haven’t slowed down. He is busy and Josh is more fun and cute than ever.

Everything is forts and tunnels and things
to jump off from with this kid. 

I can't take credit for this awesome tunnel this was all Spencer :)

Spencer's friend he met his first time here 4 years ago (Lulu)
 comes to school here on the weekends and she came over
 for dinner last weekend. It was so fun to meet her and talk to her.

The weather has been so nice here lately, so last Saturday
 we went to Purple Mountain. We took some sandwiches to eat.

Purple Mountain is made up of many things but
 we just went to see the mausoleum this day. There
are 392 stairs to the top and Josh loves stairs
he did  at least 3/4 all by himself!

Throwing money into some Calderon.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Memorial. He is known as the founder of modern China. (1866-1925),  It is Dr. Sun that ended the 2000-year-old feudal monarchy system of China and started the Chinese democratic revolution.

Josh loves hanging on things.
He can hold himself up for about 30 secs.
Such a cute shot!

One day I was doing my makeup and told Josh to go
put some on daddy. So literally he just placed it on
 top of his daddy :) so funny. 

Such a fun boy! I told him I needed a picture for
 grandma and he posed real quick for a shot then
ran a way to do something else. He doesn't
like pictures at all. Unless its for grandma.
