Our Home in China

OK, I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of our apartment here in Tianjin and the surrounding area!  Thanks for your patience!  Enjoy!

 The main entrance to our apartment complex

These signs haven't been too helpful for us yet. :)

 The path that leads to our apartment building

 The front of our apartment building (it has nine floors, and we are on the second)

 Our entryway outside our front door...where we leave all of our shoes before we come in!

 Our front door.  All of these welcome signs were from people on our team when we arrived!

 Girls room

 Girls bed: These bunk beds were a blessing (since we told the girls they could have bunk beds) and were left here by the family before us who had two daughters sharing this room

Master bedroom (we also have a guest bedroom, but you have to come visit us in order to see it!)

One of our bathrooms

Living Room (when you walk in our front door and look to the left)

 Our kitchen (when you walk in our front door and look to the right)

  Thankful for an oven...even if its on our porch.

 I found this plate when I went shopping for dishes at a random plant market!  I couldn't pass it up. :)

 Anna helping with laundry on our porch

  A blue sky day!  These are few and far between, so we enjoy them when we can!

 One of the vegetable markets near our complex

 An outdoor exercise park that the girls LOVE to play at 


  Another park not far from our apartment

 One of the playgrounds in our apartment complex

 See the fountains in the background?!




 This video is of a group of people that I see exercising/stretching every morning when I take the girls down to the bus.  Anna always says, "Look mom!  They're doing their warm up!"
