My new nickname?

The following is a conversation between Simon and I while in the airplane awaiting take-off. Our flight was delayed so we ended up sitting on the tarmac for an additional 30 minutes.


Me: Simon, sit down in your seat please.
Simon: No, mom.
Me: Simon, sit in your seat before I get angry!
Simon: Angry like the Hulk? Oh no, Hulk mom. Hulk mom! Josiah, mom is Hulk mom. She's angry!

Where to start?

I have a ton to back blog about but I never have enough time to even begin to organize my thoughts. We are back in Beijing and so happy to be home. It was wonderful to spend time with our friends and family and we really miss them. I guess I will start as far back as I can and work my way to the present. One of the best parts of being home was the chance these boys had to establish and foster relationships with their cousins. Josiah and Grant had a great time playing soccer and Max became an honorary Webster.

Our new home....as of 2012
