Time before our Train, Exploring China continues...

 We walked and walked all around the town by the train station.  It was a medium size city, not a village.
 There were tons of birds for sale of all varieties (chicken, duck, geese) but the big Tom Turkey was just wondering around outside the cages almost like the guard dog.
 Thankfully it was a chilly day or this could have smelled awful!  I loved seeing the fresh seafood because were were near the sea.  We had just seen where the great wall meets the sea on this day.
 We stumbled upon a tall hospital (the pink building in the next picture) and then we saw a basketball court and Jake was more than excited to play.  I admired the pregnant pictures on this (I assume) OB/GYN office.  You rarely see pregnant women in China (or at least I don't feel I do) so it was fun to see their styled up photographed Chinese women.


 Jake loves sports so it was fun to see him in his element!
 We had no idea that "first class" on the train back to Beijing was so cheap!  We upgraded and had the whole "first class" cabin area to ourselves.  It was just bigger seats but we were so tired we passed right out.
I am pretty sure could travel the world aimlessly forever.
My kids are getting old enough that I think it'd be pretty easy to bring them too.

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

 We pulled off our best Halloween!  Possibly ever!  Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully.  He even had the cutest song he sang.  I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.  

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
