It's official: I'm licensed to drive and have have now exercised that privilege


Ann and Catherine were flower girls for the wedding. We found this out.....the morning of the wedding. We were 7ish hours from home and hadn't really packed anything appropriate for that. Then it rained so the only dresses we brought with us were too chilly for them to wear.

Mid Autumn Festival

Mid Autumn Festival fell on Sept 15th this year, but it is celebrated on the 15th days of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. It's a day when families enjoy a meal together and go outside to look at the large, round, bright full moon. 
There's a traditional food to enjoy called "moon cake" which are small round cakes filled with all kinds of fillings. (some tasty, some not so much). 

Here's a quick video we took in our neighborhood on that day. 



Catherine and Ann say thank you
