Well, it's the 4th Sunday of Advent -- here are some post-dinner pictures of Calvin with his Advent present, a tambourine that he can chew on and make noise with... and two pictures of Eli with the kitten home he made our rapidly growing strays.

Things are going nicely towards Christmas. I managed to continue my personal Christmas tradition of wandering aimlessly around the day before Christmas Eve, letting the roads lead me to interesting, unexpected presents. I used to do it on Broadway and down through Canal Street, through the shops and outdoor kiosks, but today I did it on my scooter. Hitting small toy stores, the only semi-English book store in the city, Caves... the art store, a craft store. It seems like there's a store for everything in Taiwan, many owned by a family and run out of the ground floor of their home.


























































Anyway, below are the pictures of our adorable, loving children. Calvin seemed to be enjoying it so much that he started biting Eli, and then Eli started laughing, so he did it some more.... and that's our kids in a nutshell!
