From Grits to Chopsticks

During the month of August, we had the opportunity to travel to America to take care of State-side needs, shop, have medical appointments, and visit family and friends.  We were especially thankful to have our entire family together for the first time in two years, enjoying a few days at Myrtle Beach, SC.  Here we are after a sweaty round of mini-golf:It was fun to watch the newest family members interact: They have grown up so much while we’ve been in China:We enjoyed exploring tidal pools and fishing: Also, the group surprised me with an early 60th birthday party:Our family is scattered across the country (and around the globe), so we are very thankful for this special opportunity to get together!
