leaving MN
We have been in MN for 3 months and are sad to leave on Friday. We know that our time in the states is more than half over. Pete and Missy (the couple we have been staying with) have been AMAZING! They not only let us take over their basement for 3 months, but made us feel at home. We have made many memories and we'll miss seeing Emmett grow older. We will however wait with anticipation for them to come and visit us in Asia this next year.

Our time in Iowa
our vacation
Some friends at church gave us 3 nights at a cabin in Bayfield WI. We had a great time picking berries, and enjoying the scenery. Preston liked to eat the berries as we went along. I didn't mind, but it was hard to tell him no when it came to picking apples. He wanted to take a bite of every apple he saw. The weather was beautiful and we even had a hot tub to relax in when Preston went to bed for the evening. One day while out and about we even saw three wild black bears. I loved looking out over the water. I couldn't believe that it was a lake, because it looked more like the ocean.
Starting in September
My baking extravaganza this fall
Being in the states and in MN during t
he end of summer and into fall has been wonderful. It has put me in the mood for baking. I have found a love for cooking and baking so I will share some of my kitchen creations here.
Raspberry Pie: We went to lake superior for 4 days and we got to pick berries while we were there. I then made a fresh raspberry pie.
Next came the fall inspired sugar cookies. The leaves are my favorite. We also picked a half bushel of apples while on lake superior and I made my first ever apple pie.
......Of course no fall is complete with out pumpkin cheesecake so I used a recipe I got from one of my favorite baking blogs and make cute mini pumpkin cheesecakes.

the thrills of family life in asia
This blog is specifically designed to give you a glimpse into our everyday life. We will not be writing about what we "do" in Asia b/c of where we live. This is intended to help you keep up with our children and other adventures in life we encounter.
