MOVEMBER



It's been a month since we last checked in, so here's a whirlwind. Term 2 started, we finalized our Christmas holiday plans... INDIA!! We headed to Beijing to get visas for India, then had to go back, and then go back one more time to officially get them [India has lots of holidays and Ben needs to check when the Visa Application Center is open :)] We only have four full weeks of classes left before the break (the last week is half days and Christmas performances!!) The weather is getting colder, but not as cold as last year, for which we are very very thankful. The sun was shining bright today and it was actually a bit on the 'warm' side in the apartment. Christina enjoyed a peaceful afternoon at 798 on one of the most recent Beijing trips and Ben enjoyed eating at FatBurger!!

Most importantly, it is MOVEMBER, which means MOUSTACHE growing. Ben is loving it, but Christina wants to have her husband back... Moustaches can do strange things to men it would seem, and as such, November 30th can't come soon enough.

A real big shout out to Calvin and Lenny who are also MOVEMBERing this year. Search for Calvin Farnell and Len McCormack on the ca.movember.com website to see two truly majestic moustaches. Mo on!!

Christina continues to expand her culinary skills and for this I am THANKFUL. Today it was another batch of her Pumpkin Curry Coconut Soup. It tastes even more delicious than it sounds....

We'll be sure to keep you updated on the India travels as they unfold. Until next time
