What are Ryan and Lindsey up to?

                                                                               

Lindsey talked me into being her Girl Scout Leader and that is super time consuming for me.  Everyone was wondering what I was going to do with myself without work but the kids keep me really busy. 

Each of the kids received awards at the assembly at school last month.  Ryan looked pretty nervous on stage but he got over that.  Neither one knew that they were going to be on stage.                                                                          

 Both Ryan and Lindsey are making friends and having fun at school.  They have always been great at the social part of school! 

Everyone was pleasantly surprised that the Americans here organize Trick or Treating at Halloween.  Ryan was convinced that the Chinese people were going to give out fruit instead of candy.  They pulled in lots of candy, but one lady wasn't prepared and gave out rice cakes.  Those immediately went in the trash!

Our new activity is ice skating!  Sean and I thought that we could just take the kids and show them how to ice skate.  Just after Mom fell on Lindsey and I was thinking that she would be leaving the rink on a back board we signed them up for lessons.  Ryan is a fast little guy on ice!  He loves it but Linds is tolerating it.  This is only the second time on skates!  Dad is hoping for a hockey player!
