A Fun Family Saturday

We had a great Saturday hanging out with friends. Logan slept in until almost 9:00, much better for a Saturday morning than last weeks 6:30 a.m. waking time. We spent a little time skyping with Preston's Mom. She told us his Grandmother was planning on giving us an early Christmas present.... funds to purchase a dryer. Now, to most people at home that is not too big of a deal. But here in China, very few people have a dryer and because they are not very common they are really expensive. So, we are very excited. We were wondering how our upcoming family of six was going to survive without a dryer.

For lunch we met up with a friend and her two children. Logan loved her daughter, Hannah, who is eleven. They played together very well. We went for lunch and then just spent some time walking around the White Market. We found a great toy store there. We also found a furniture store where we plan to get a chair that will turn in to a bed. The chair is nice and the prices are very reasonable. We did not like their fabric selection so we are going to bring our own fabric and they will send it to the factory and make the chair exactly what we desire. This entire process will only take 2 weeks!!! This will be a nice extra bed to have when people come to visit. Everyone is welcome! After lunch and shopping we went back to our friend's house and played Rock Band for a few hours. We had a lot of fun. It was a great afternoon.

For dinner our entire 2009 group (those of us who just moved here) had a progressive dinner. We were able to see everyone's house, eat lots of yummy food and have a great time visiting together. Everyone really enjoyed our time together and hope we will be able to do it at least a few times a year.

The weekend was made just a little bit better since Georgia Tech won their game!! I am also excited that Michigan won and of course I am pulling for Auburn right now too. It is a little weird for it to be Sunday morning and football games are happening back at home.

Hopefully later today I will be able to post pictures of Logan's new room.
