We’re going to try out this blog as a way of communicating with friends and family (realistically, grandparents are the only people that are likely to look at it very often). A few caveats before we begin:
1) We’ll put stuff on here about our daily life in China. Most of it will probably be pretty mundane, which will give you a glimpse into how we actually keep ourselves occupied. This has the obvious potential of being hugely boring, but there is a chance that it could be interesting from time to time just because of details that may be particularly Chinese-y. Frankly, if this blog is lame while we’re living in China, it would be 20 times lamer if we were back in the U.S. since any interest that it may generate among the non-grandmother crowd will be linked to things like the live turtles in the supermarket meat section.
2) I've been using this voice recognition software for the last year or so which is good and bad. The good thing is that it's great if you’re not a fast typist (I’m not). The bad thing is that journal entries or e-mails tend to come out in this breezy stream of consciousness sort of way since you’re just talking to yourself. That's just a forward-looking excuse for any sort of half-baked entry you might find here.
Enjoy (or not)!

Wow! The blog graphics and layout are very attractive. We love it. There is so much that is interesting about China that there is probably no end to what you can post. For us, grandchildren happenings will, of course, trump anything else. L is asking for their company EVERY day. Hard to keep her entertained. Working hard to semi-finish the bathroom before A,B,E's arrival. The pool is ready. Toys are less sufficent than we thot, but we'll be creative. Very hot here, 90's. Can hardly wait. L, M
