Weekending: HELLO

Oh dear, my dear friends we made it back to states a little over a week ago. It was a long trip and first time travelled in the winter for long flights. We both were under the weather from the mixed of the air in the flights and temperature changed from the high 70's to negative 10. S had some ear pressure after we landed. Jet lag was another great challenge during the winter, since we can't go out much. Thankfully S is fully recovered and is happy to be home again.

Not sure where to start to share with you, since we have had so much happening this past month. {1/4" mark} has been so quiet for nearly a month now and it is the longest break that we've taken. We took all the time we need to spent last few weeks with our family. We travelled on our scooter to different parts of the city.  We had a family dinner; very causal and fun to end our visit back in Taiwan! We took four large luggages with us and two of them were full with gifts and loves from our families and friends.  I hope to print out some Lucky and S' photo as our Christmas greeting card, but it will need to wait a little extra longer, since we are trying to settle in our new space here in Iowa.

The weather has been so cool for last few days. We are layering in woolies and covering with quilts { i must admitted this is the best part about the winter; cuddling with quilts, lots of them}. In order to let S return to school system we had to take her for some health check, since we've gone oversea months. The test came back and she is just as healthy as she can be! She returned to school last Thursday, the very first day of real 4th grade! She is anxious about school and already met some old friends she knew from her kinder room.  As a mama, I am happy to see that she puts smile on her face in the mornings and ready for school! When I pick her up from school last Thursday, boy.. she was sharing her day with me again! I was touch by heart at that moment when S shared her day with me. I quietly listen to her day with some new friends and new discovery of school.  You know possible that I'll get invited to lunch date soon.

Since most of sewing supplies are in the storage at this moment. I have not been sewing, but just simple English Paper Piecing. I hope to return to storage next week to bring them out. All the fabric stashes are at my dear friend's house, which makes me wanted to just go to her home and say hello to them, but that will need to wait for another week or two.

Our first weekending was a lot of sleeping and jet lag! The second weekending has been marvelous! S has been crafting again and all the fabric have pulled out from the suitcase and getting some fresh air. I have stored them in a nice and clean cardboard box for now.  Thankfully, I have received a new computer, but I try to learn how to use it as I have been a pc person.  It will be some new learning time for me while S' away at school.

Our return has been great and yes, there are new phase of challenges we need to face. At this moment we'll work as a team and look forward each day and hope take a new step each time when we can!
We hope your holiday time has been wonderful and thank you so much for all your support and kindness.  {1/4" mark} turned two years old last month.  It has been just amazing that you are here from time to time and really grateful that you have extended your friendship with us.

I'll be back more often now
