Happy Birthday to Ben!
First nephew, Ben, will celebrate a birthday on Thursday. GP and I hope it is a great one :)
In China, no big changes. I've still got a little head cold and GP came down with some stomach virus. We went to the hospital to see a doctor Monday night and she ended up with the always-prescribed IV (glucose, KCl and something else). She got two bottles and the KCl makes the transfer more painful, so we had to go slow. Left home at 8pm and got back at 3:15am :P It was fun seeing what shows up at a Chinese emergency room.
Christmas decorating is big in China. The trees, the fake frost in the windows, the stockings. I'm not sure they understand *why" there is Christmas (probably no worse than the western world's understanding), but they know what lao wai (foreigners) like. I bought a nice wreath and two stockings. I'll have to come up with some stocking stuffers for GP's first, real Christmas. And teach her carols, of course.
I really need to find A Christmas Story DVD. "You'll shoot your eye out" will sound very cute in Chinese :)

Sorry to hear GP was sick. Comment moderation and removed comments? What hornet nest did you poke with a stick? :)
Stupid "lower your mortgage now" spam found my site. blech. Sorry everyone for the trouble. Maybe I'll just allow the spam.
