On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day!















Thanks for all your thoughts! This Christmas we felt especially joyful, thankful and content!

Christmas Eve Day Drew and I had an extra special treat...we saw our new baby! At about 12 weeks, this was my first time in to the doctor, and our first ultrasound. That night we had a special dinner with our team and Foreign Affairs Officer, who is our Chinese boss at this university. If you are a salmon lover, like me, you must try this recipe which we ate that night.

Christmas Day --- We felt privileged that while the rest of the university was in class as usual, we foreign teachers got the day off! (It's in our contract.) We had a fun team brunch and then opened presents! Our family went to play outside in the warm afternoon sunshine. Our team played card games and did a little caroling for the neighbor.

Of course we got to skype with our families back in Minnesota. Oh! And a special treat...I skyped with my dear friend Amber who is living in France.


Happy New Year!

Love,

Drew, Rachel & Titus

  1. great photos! i'm so glad your Christmas was wonderful!! Also, thanks for sharing the ultrasound photos. Weird that you couldn't see, though! Medical practices really change a lot from country to country, I guess.
