Walk through the market at Chinese New Year's Eve



It was almost time for the greatest holiday in the Sinosphere: Spring Festival.
Come on and walk through the market with me!



counting the graces
thank you Father for
getaway with Drew -- consciously renewing our covenant, defining our direction, taking time to be best friends and lifetime lovers
bathtub and a book, just for one night
safe and comfortable car rides home for Wang Zhao and Tan Jing
Drew's soul rested
fresh starts
sweet reunion with our big boys -- the texture of their hair, missing teeth, expressions, hugs, giggles
trusted friends -- Noah, Naomi, Wang Zhao and Tan Jing to stay with our boys
facebook free and feelin fine
Liu Jia (Lydia) always says, "I love you"
folks who labor to tend the paths through the hillside woods
finding new trails in the woods

    1. Hey Erica! With all my leafy greens I basically follow the same pattern: a bit of frying oil of choice, high temperature wok, stir-fy, a little salt. How do you do yours?
