Just Back from China - Blog Updated!

Hi everyone,

We were unable to upload our blog in China and I've finally recovered enough from jet lag to get it uploaded and updated.

We loved our trip. It was wonderful. Our daughter, Josie is a funny and loving child. Her first birthday is next week!

Willing to answer any questions you guys might have!

Michele

Must have seen you there!

Hi Chew family,
We were also in China around the same time. Our US consulate appt was on the 2nd...very interesting time with all of those people, eh?

I'm so jealous that Josie is sleeping through the night for you. Our baby, Hope, is still not sleeping through yet, so I'm the walking Zombie, sleeping next to her crib to comfort her when her screams don't abate...

Congratulations. Your family is just beautiful!

Lisabud
