China!

Not really something that we consider worth celebrating, but WOW! they sure know how to put on a show! (You'll want to scroll down and mute the music on the blog.)

China's 60th Anniversary national day - timelapse and slow motion - 7D and 5DmkII from Dan Chung on Vimeo.

We enjoyed a short visit from our friends Dan and Donna from Oregon. It is always so much fun to get together with friends that we don't get to see very often. Our friendship, based in Christ, just picks up where we left off last time we were together.

Time Competition

Everything competes for time. I have the same problem as many of you....I need another 5 or 6 wakeful hours (preferably after the kids are asleep) to get things done. I want to quilt, there are books I want to read, sewing to do, digital layouts and blogging. All that after the cooking, cleaning and taking care of kids and husband. And school.

Here is a bit of what we have been doing over the last few weeks.
