van der Waardes are here!


Tony and Ruth arrived yesterday arriving in Hong Kong approximately... 8:27. Karla and Sean picked them up and brought them to Tai Tam via a luxurious rental van. When I got home from work Tony was out on the field with Sean playing hockey/soccer. It was a busy night for me with Interim Parent Night but we had a good visit before sleep called most to bed.

Today was a big event. Playgroup, was at our house. That means 7 kids and 6 moms with Karla, Tony and Ruth. Gramma and Opa are the kid experts though and they were a highlight with Opa reading stories and Gramma and Karla baking cookies with the help of some little hands. Karla was happy for the help as she is feeling a bit slower now with the the smallest Buxton growing within!

A first for today was Sean began, whistling. Yes, it is clearly whistling. He is really enjoying Gramma and Opa and will ask "I want to hold hands" if he feels the need. We had a great dinner out in Stanley and when we got back home Karla had a second birthday with gifts from Canada, of which one was a Muppets DVD! We watched one, turns out it was the Mana mana episode! Sean is talking about "being scared" and calling out but is not giving any reasons for what is scaring him. So we like good parents are ignoring him and telling him to go to sleep.

Note: Karla says - after we pray with him and sing Jesus loves me! Karla says Sean prayed "Dear God help me to be brave"
