The Engleson Files

One thing I have not discussed yet that I desperately want to is the family visit of 2009. In May, my Mom, my aunt Joan and Kristin’s Mom all came over to China for a visit. While the house was most certainly full, we all figured it out and had an absolutely wonderful time! - Not too sure how many bottles of wine were consumed during their stay but it is safe to say the wine industry did not see a decline in their profit margin - see picture below for proof. For my Mom and Joan it was a trip back to the familiar, while for Judy it was her first time visiting China. For us, it is so nice to have family come over and visit so they can see our lives in this crazy situation. It’s so nice for family to see things like the school where Magnus and Svea go and be able to have that reference point for further connections down the road. Living here has been absolutely wonderful and it is so nice to be able to share that family back home; and it was just so great to have family around to create more great memories with! Dalian was fun, Beijing was great and, all in all, everyone had a great time and we are just so thankful all made the time to come and see us.
