Fireworks, Snow, and House Pics!!!

This wee has been MUCH better in China!!!
Plagroups or activities EVERY day, finding our way around better, figuring out a schedule, shopping at the silk market, hanging with new friends, and eating at YUMMY restaurants!!!

Because of the Chinese New Year, we have been experiencing fireworks 24/7 for the past entire week! last night was the big shebang/finale and it was bigger than Stadium of Fire, and outside EVERY one of our windows - a great show, altho the fact it went on all night was a bit annoying!

This morning we woke up to ........................SNOW!!! Super cold, and so we are staying inside all warm, and thought we would post pictures of our new pad!

In random order due to the SLOWNESS of uploading them and trying to fix them!


Fireworks from our kitchen window!

Bathroom #2

the view from the kitchen window

Cash's room - altho he is currently in our room - the bedroom set hasn't been delivered for this room yet!

The 3rd bedroom/office area!

Extra closet/storage space


Master closet - WAY smaller than ours back home.....but it works!


One view of our room - Cash's new crib (and I like to call it a doll bed cuz it is so small)


Another view of the master - yeah, the only choices of comforters at Chinese Walmart were baby yellow or baby pink! (thought chip wouldn't love pink!)


Master bath - with nice big jetted tub - Cash LOVES bathtime!

View of formal dining area and front entry way and into kitchen from family room!

View out family room window - the gym is football shaped building to left, and the pool is underground and window is at bottom of screen (part of it)


Family room area - the couches are really comfy!


closer view of dining area

another view of kitchen


Kitchen and eating area and laundry machine (i am still learning how laundry works - the first load took over 5 hours due to the dryer portion being with it too!)

view of kitchen from hall - just the fridge you see!

your apartment is really big and nice. I can't believe all the adventures you are having over there and so random to run into so many people you already now in china of all places. That was probably so nice though to be able to make the connection with people so early on. I hope things continue to get better. Miss you
