Cat sketches

Tahlia is really proud of her cat sketch.  She created it with 13 circles.

Perhaps I’ve said too much


This is how I feel after a 2 hour conversation  with Tahlia and Keely.  Today’s topic was about how to be a responsible human being.  I touched on topics of cleaning after themselves and that everyone needs to start carrying their own weight and start appreciating that while we as parents are doing our best to them to give them a well-rounded upbringing we need a break and we cannot be expected to do everything for them.  To understand and not take for granted that while we love you and love to spend time with you that we have a business to run and need time to tend to our work.  There are times when you need to entertain yourself.

 

eventful weekend by the beach

Really glad that we managed to get to Fulong beach to see the sand sculptures even though they were no longer in their prime state.  After we parked the car we were initially turned away by the ticket office.  They refused us entry because they claimed that the bridge was damaged by typhoon and the sand sculpture was no longer accessible.  We drove off to another location to have a stroll along the beach and wandered towards the sand sculpture site from the beach access.  People were climbing the sculptures so we took the liberty to do the same and we got some really intimate photos without any of the other tourists.  

After we went for fresh seafood at (). The fish was amazingly chewing and tender.  The only thing that really bothered me about the experience was that I had sealed the fate of the fish and wTch it get beaten to death.

Capped the night with a visit to Yangmingshan spa.

We closed the place.  As we walked out the cleaning lady started to get undressed and told us that it was her turn.

Roller blades

Got Tahlia and Keely a set of roller blades each. $9000 for both sets.  Kids are super excited and started testing them out right away.
