Who would have thought Quince would be a bowling natural at age 4, however he somehow managed the highest score of all the other kids. And I’m pretty sure it was better than I could do.
All last week Richard would arrive home from work and Quince would say “Daddy, we don’t have a Christmas tree at our house yet.” There was a short of disappointed aire to his voice as well. We got our tree on Monday night. Tuesday or Wednesday morning Quince ran into our room, said good morning …
Many years ago Richard started making pies for his family’s thanksgiving dinner. Us adding Quince to our family didn’t slow this tradition down one bit. In fact, it has only been added too. Since he was an infant Quince has aided in the pie making process. From mearly watching while Richard holds him to pushing …
We’ve been home for about 20 days now. The same length of time our trip was for. The battle against time to readjust hasn’t been an easy one. In some aspects we are still fighting it. For one thing, Quince misses Auntie Liz and Uncle Chris a lot. He loved every minute he got to …
Our first day with Uncle Chris and Auntie Liz we started with breakfast with Liz. Although we were too late for the breakfast menu so it turned out to be very early lunch. Chris wasn’t feeling well and stayed at the apartment getting extra rest. A wise choice in my opinion because once Quince was …

While we have seen many sights, we have spent little time just playing like kids do. I feel very fortunate to discover a small playground around the corner from our hotel. Our first time here was yesterday late-afternoon. Clearly he was in need of active play that isn’t allowed in the hotel room. Finally …
Our trip started mid-day, after we ate some lunch. From our hotel it is only about an hour, plus or minus a few minutes, trip via subway. That includes the time it takes to walk to the station and changing trains. It’s very easy and convenient. We also had a very fun day. We have …
Our day started at 4 am(5 am for Quince), our flight left Taipei at 7:50 am. Compared to our last flight, it seems to take no time at all. At almost 10 am exactly we touched down at Hong Kong International Airport. This is where things got rough for our little traveler. Quince and I …
Our time in Taipei has come to a close. It has been a fun 3 and a half days, filled with subways, trains, towers, food, and walking. Here are some highlights from the sites Quince and I saw while Richard was working.
