Waiting and Waiting

It's hard to believe that we leave in 10 days. After the initial excitement of learning we were traveling so soon, we've settled back down into a somewhat normal schedule. Josh is incredibly organized and is taking care of all sorts of little details for the trip - like getting travelers' checks, starting to pack, and cooking lots of food for the freezer.
I have dangerously started to read The Lonely Planet guide and now want to skip the cities all together and spend our week in the forest. Taiwan is an incredibly beautiful country with lots of natural resource amenities. I know Josh is looking forward to the thrill of being in the cities and soaking up the culture, though, so I'll put aside my dreams of hanging out in the woods.

The girls enjoyed dressing up for Easter and looking for eggs. . we managed to have some tolerable weather to be outside hunting for them. But we did get a sprinkle of snow later in the day. This winter seems unending. The girls have also been enjoying riding their new bikes - they're amazingly good at it already and seem to enjoy the challenge of staying upright going over our very bumpy sidewalks! We need to get some photos of them on their bikes but for now you'll have to settle for easter smiles. . .
