Just Regular Stuff

When life "slows" to a roll of regular things - I realize how fast they grow. #makeitslowdown

Life in Honkers is full of 'regular' stuff just like anywhere else. Groceries. Bills. Meal planning. School. Sleep. Errands and chores. Failed-attempts-to-exercise. Doctor appointments. Sports.

Fall here is breezy, temperate, and pleasant. Perfect weather for getting outdoors to walk or throwing the windows open.

Saturday morning baseball practice is (when possible) a family affair. Glorious weather for it. So proud of this girl! (yes - baseball. not softball. yeah, baby.)

Other outdoor adventures around here:

 Dad took them camping - ALL BY HIMSELF!

 THEN and NOW - Gosh, this puts it into perspective. Have we really lived here this long??

More ShekO Beach pics before the weather cooled off.... look at these WAVES!

Such a familiar place for us now. Stanley is still just a 10 minute cab ride away. Love these Banyan trees!!

BIG one went to her first sleep-away camp. It's part of the 4th grade experience - 2 nights away at a camp in Kowloon. Such a cool and amazing thing the school does! What a memorable and unparalleled growing-up experience.

on campus, just before heading out - with her good pal, Tiernan

School. Another cool thing? Squid dissection. Our little engineer-turned-surgeon proved quite capable and proficient:

Auntie Nimfa's birthday!!!!

 And last, a few random Hong-Kong things....
