Hello from the long, lost Gilbert clan!

Sorry it has been so long since we posted our last message. Our only excuse is that our life is crazy. My goal was to create a post before I turn 40. Since that is tomorrow, I better get this done!! As I mentioned, life have been busy, but we have been able to create some great memories over the past three months. We have posted a few pictures below to give you an idea of what we have been up to. Liisa spent a week in Australia at a MYP workshop, but was able to sneak in some sightseeing in Syndey the day before the workshop and in Adalaide following the workshop. If you ask me, I think she did more "sightseeing" based on the number of pictures she took! Liisa's parents visited us in Febuary and we spent the week of Lunar New Year in Beijing. We toured the sites of Beijing and traveled to the Great Wall - a memorable week! Over spring break in March, Jim and Sandy visited us and we escaped to Jeju Island, an island off the southern tip of South Korea for a few days of relaxing and sightseeing! The weather was cool and windy, but we still had a great time. The rest of our time has been spent teaching, coaching (Andrew - elementary and middle school basketball, Liisa - high school dance crew), and parenting. The kids have kept busy, but are looking forward to being home this summer!
