Ayi is "awww-IGHT"!! (Reggie Dabbs, PK speaker)






Nee how. Y'all wanna see a cool website that puts Bible geography "on the map"? BibleMap.org It launches the point of interest on Google Earth and provides interesting details. Nice. I plucked this link off of Noel's sight from my list of favorites over there on the right hand side.

In China news, the "ayi" or househelper started work today. She was outstanding and Aimee was super impressed and thrilled that things worked out so well. Aimee may post more details later. Send her an email if you definitely want the details on how to hire her for your home. She said she will travel for a small travel fee.

And speaking of small travel fees, we have our first visitors from the states confirmed. Dan and Kathy Bowman, aka, Ryan's parents will be arriving March 24 and departing April 7. They found the best deal on Kayak.com for $750.00 per ticket, round trip. And remember, they'll be well on their way to 2 free tickets to anywhere in the continental US based upon all the miles they'll rack up. It's about 9,000 miles, one way and many airlines, including NWA, require just 25,000 miles for a free ticket. Couple that with Boris from citibank and you could be "racking up the flier points. Very Rewarding!"

So, let's add up what you get for a mere $750.00:
1. 2 weeks of unlimited Hide-and-Seek with Anna and Elijah.
2. Watch the ayi work the magic on Mondays/Wednesdays. (see Aimee's house cleaner than you ever will again--written by Aimee)
3. 72% of a free plane ticket to anywhere in the continental US.
4. Private room in the prestigious Belle Wood estates.
5. All-you-can-eat buffet all day every day
6. Visit our church and listen to an Irish man lead worship and an Israeli preach, pending schedule
7. Watch Anna swim underwater with her eyes OPEN, enabled by her new pink goggles
8. Round trip travel to China
9. Sleep in while Ryan has to go to work
10. See Ryan "suck wind" as our driver, Mr. Liu, narrowly misses pedestrians
11. Enjoy "guest blogger" status on the Bowman Blog
12. Try out the "rumble strips" for yourself

A few pictures from life at home:

-This is what happens when you've got no yard work/snow shoveling to do. The kids are taking after Dad.
-Anna is ready to be mini-Mommy to little bro/sis.
-Notice it's got sleeves and therefore, it doesn't qualify as a "wife-beater"
-Snuggling on the lounger. Aimee's hidden under there somewhere.
-Bubble-icious
Sigh jyen.
