Our trip to Vancouver is booked (October 13 - November 1), flights to China are booked, and Steve arrived safe and sound in Beijing and is settling in to our new apartment on floor 17 of the Oriental Plaza's Centennial Heights tower in the heart of the city. (Where, I might add, there is a Starbucks outside our front door and a themed mall - whatever that means - that commands 130,000 square metres of the city's space just beyond... youch!) Hendrik climbed out of his crib for the first time today, rode his tricycle by himself for the first time today and I, in the last few days, have dusted off my forgotten-for-four-weeks book (A Visit From the Goon Squad) and figured out how to read while breastfeeding - hurrah! There must be other news, but since I'm sleep deprived (Alana is scoring low-ish marks in that dept.) and Alana needs to eat and Hendrik might be crawling headfirst out of his crib at this very moment, I'll just leave you with some pics. But first, a big happy birthday to my momsy!
