Malia and I almost got into a head collision with an out of control Porsche 911. Our taxi was unscathed. Thankfully. Email me if your into the details.

Who would have ever thought that you would be able to buy shoes like this in 2011?
Well everyone, I know that I am not that great of a writer, so I will keep this simple and quick. Here are a few photos family and artistic of the last couple of days. Our time here in USA is on the home stretch. At the moment focusing on family.
Blessings,

So here we are back in Lancaster County again. Children are becoming very flexible. Or so we think. Kristin had a doctor appointment today again. Heart. So the children and I went out to swing in the back yard. After … Continue reading
Here in Ohio we are staying at a country farmhouse when we are not with other people. The mornings and evenings are especially breathtaking here in this part of the country. We have seen deer, rainbows, and thunderstorms. These are few things that are incredibly scarce in China.
Below is an attempt to find the beauty in the quiet peaceful morning. ~kev
As many of you know we have been spending some considerable time here at my parents home in Lanc, PA. This has been a very refreshing time for us and also for them, I hope. 
The children were able to spend some quality time with Grandpa and Grandma Bucher. However, it is hard to make up for 3 years. As we wind this time down here I and the family are anticipating the summer looking forward to meeting with many old and new friends. We feel encouraged and rested and blessed.
It will soon be time to put the garden hose down
and move on. We will miss this place, the peace, quiet, large yard, roosters to chase, and flowers to water, being drug around the yard in a cardboard box….
but it is also comforting knowing that we can return and knowing that for me at least–it is truly home.
Note: in the above photo (at the top) it would appear that the photographer has very little time to snap the shot before getting soaked. So I assure you, in the photo above the hose and nozzle are disconnected. I am not sure I would trust my 2 year old with a garden hose and my camera this close
While it has been a while since I updated the site. However, we are doing well. Living in America as many of you know quite different than our normal Asian lives.
I, Kevin, am recovering from hernia surgery and as usual, I feel that the whole process is going slower than I would like. Never-the-less, this time is giving my family some well needed rest in gearing up for busy – traveling – summer.
I have included some photos below of the last couple of days. Randomly last night we decided to install tire swing in the young oak tree behind the house. Kids loved it. Also is a photo of an uncle and aunt who seem to understand life in Asia more than most people (due to them working in Vietnam and Indonesia for several years)
However, one of the best photos is Great grandpa John playing checkers with Kai. Kai loves checkers.
Hey just letting you all know that I am coming to the states.
I have never been there before–so this will be a new experience for me. What language do you speak?

Well, friends and family and not necessarily in the order–here are some pics of the new house that we moved to. Mostly of our surrounding area and not really the house it self. Those pics coming later. There are also some other things on the horizon that we will share with you in an upcoming newsletter. ~ Kev
Tomorrow we are moving from one house to another. 1km away. Keep us in your thoughts and prys. Will post pictures later.
But we all are fine. Kevin (I) and Malia were riding bike today home from a sunday morning thing. 
As we were riding along a taxi pulled out in front of us from behind a crowd of people on the sidewalk. He was not driving fast –simply pulling out into the main stream of traffic. However, I had no time to stop. So I simply stopped as fast as I could and swerved as much as I dare so as to avoid falling over. Falling over would have meant Malia and I getting scraped up pretty good. In the end, we ended up directly in front of the stopped taxi semi-leaning on his hood and bumper. The pedal to the bike-literally folded his front license plate in half. We then both exchanged glances (he still sitting in the car)–no one was hurt–we carried on our separate ways as culture prescribes. Yes, we are very thankful it was not worse. PTL! So thank you to all who pry for us on a regular basis–the “regular basis” angels we working today. 
Recently things have seemed to become quite busy here–with more intense language, possible move due to house contracts, working with a multicultural team, thinking about this coming summer in the USA, etc…
We miss all of you! Be blessed!
Kevin
PS. Kai has been loving some recent spiderman sunglasses (given to him by a friend) Here he is showing them off.
