Merry Christmas 2010

We will soon be on our way to the USA for Christmas - after not seeing our LOVED ONES since last Feburary - First we go to California to see Dan, Danielle, Abby, and Aaron (our newest grandchild who was born on November 10 !)   We'll also visit other family and friends while there.  Then we will wing our way across the country to South Carolina for Christmas with some more of the gang.  Ouma (my mom) will be there, too, so we will be three generations for a few days !   Mark only has two short weeks of vacation so must get back to work in China on Jan 1.   Meanwhile I will take a trip to Mexico that was cancelled last summer, to see Matt, Lina, Samuel and Rebeca.  Then I will be in SC and GA for the month of January and part of February.   Tim and Allyson will have their 6th child in early February and have asked me to be there to help out - I said YES !   Mark and I will miss each other for six long weeks, but are thankful for this opportunity to be with family.  I am somewhat relieved to miss the LOUD fireworks of Chinese New Year (Mark LOVES it) and also the coldest part of the bitter northern China winter.   We have so much to be thankful for - God is good.
