Enjoying Jim and Amy

Our good friends Jim and Amy made the drive from Nampa to Dallas yesterday to visit for a bit while they're in the states on hiatus from China. Amy just finished up an Americorps stint there and Jim has been teaching English to 5-17 year olds in the same town. They'll be heading back to finish up teaching another term before doing who knows what. Working in Antartica has been mentioned, and with these two we wouldn't be surprised!

Grace has been loving every minute of their visit so far and has found both Jim and Amy to be willing to play. Poor David is in the middle of a very busy/stressful time at work so he's not been able to take off time to spend with them like he would very much love to do. Luckily he's been able to work from home though.

Jim said that it's interesting to hear how verbal a three year old is since he doesn't understand the Chinese kids when they spend time with them.


Grace wore everyone out with her lay down, stand up, lay back down again game.


Amy taught Grace how to be a flying ballerina!
