The Williamson's

Today, Debi tested for her 1st degree black belt and Chuck tested for his 2nd degree recommended black belt. Both passed! WOOHOO! Debi has to learn a new form, the moves to Exodus, and more. Danni and Nick sat with a student’s parents (Peggy & Richard) and was doing very well until she saw Debi. […]

Nick had his Christmas Party at school which also marked his last day of school for 2010. He is excited about being out of school since he will be home with Debi and Danni. We think the excitement will be short lived. He returns to school on Tuesday, January 4th, which is about the same […]

Happy 1st Birthday Danni!!! Today, we celebrated Danni’s 1st birthday. We don’t have any big plans since we will do a big party at MeeMaw, PawPaw, and Uncle Jr’s house after the holidays.

The Tschoepe Family came for a visit and to meet Danni.  Cousins Tori and Spencer got to play with Nick and Danni.  Nick enjoyed the visit since he has been missing his cousins. We were leaving to go to dinner and Nick said he had a loose tooth.  He has been saying it for months […]

We got home around 4pm Friday night.  Our flight landed ahead of schedule but by the time we got off the plan and to baggage claims it was 4:30pm.  We had a great flight and all the prayers were felt.  Danni and Nick slept some of the first leg of the trip and all the […]

We leave Hong Kong for home at 12:50pm.  We are on the same flight as 2 other families in the group.  Security in China is very different than the USA.  There is more security check points but you get through them faster than in the USA with less security check points.  The flight from Hong […]

We didn’t do much other than pack and get ready to take the train to Hong Kong.  Our guide will be picking up Danni’s visa while we are waiting on the train.  She will meet us at the train station with all the information for Danni to be a US Citizen when we arrive in […]

We spent 99% of the day shopping for gifts and items to bring home.  We ended up buying another bag to check.  MeeMaw has gotten better at negotiating the prices.  We went to the pearl market.  Yep, you guessed it Debi and Danni got pearls.  We walked through the herbal market on the way back […]

We waited around our hotel room.  Well, Chuck waited in the hotel room.  Our guide took all our paperwork to the American Consulate to fill the paperwork to bring Danni home.  We had a group picture on the famous red couch.  Danni was screaming and crying the whole time while the babies on each side […]

Today, I started to miss my cousins and friends.  I am doing my school work and reading material.  I miss my home too.  I can’t wait to get back home with my baby sister. I learned there are 16 million people in Guangzhou.  There are 4 different religions in China: Buddhism, Christianity, Muslin, and Taoism.  I haven’t […]
