Rachel and I went to visit Kylie on the way home from Ma On Shan.  
The Lai Yui Campus badminton social event.  Kylie was happy to get out playing badminton again and it was fun to watch him:-)
Rachel and I visited Talia's dog, Peanut.  He is so cute and just lays still in peoples arms!!!
Never seen a dog that just sits still for such a long time. He sat still in Rachel's arms for 5-10 minutes and would have done more:-)

Rachel and I went to visit Griz at Teresa's house.  Griz is a little crazy and hyperactive.  Rachel was not as thrilled to play with him but he is cute.  
Rachel got to feed Griz a treat!
Rachel is obsessed with dresses and we go to Jusco just to try them on for fun some days:-)
And take pictures of course:-)
Sparkle Mom's Night Off on Wednesday evening!
We had a clothing/toy exchange and Wine/Cheese and Dessert night. It was a lot of fun!
Drawing with Michelle and Stephanie (students) while I watch Kylie's basketball game against American International School.
Kylie's team won and is now 1st place going into the finals next week.  
Having a horse ride on Janessa!
It was a stressful game because the boys weren't playing their best....but they won thankfully.  
Sparkle on Friday....it was a big group and so I think everyone is finally back from Christmas!
Where are the children? 
The Grand Ole Duke of York....
Snack time at Sparkle....most of the kids favorite part
I think at one point there were 8 kids inside this bus tent!!

 Tuesday moms having a movie party on Friday night.  It was fun to visit and catch up!
 Getting ready for Brett and Nancy's Wedding.  Rachel was really excited about going to a wedding!
 Trying to see the bride's dresss:-)
Such cuties!
 Brett and Nancy....they were some of our students at CAIS. We are starting to feel old:-)
 Rachel wanted a picture with the bride:-)
 King, Sindy, Kylie, Rachel and I
 The reception was in a beautiful location and the weather was perfect for a tent wedding!
 Rachel and the wedding cake:-)
 Thankfully we sat at a table with all the kids.

 We had plenty of movies to keep the kids occupied:-)
 The food was really good and right up our alley. Nancy is Indian and so there were lots of great Indian dishes....our favorite!

This has been a very big week for us and next week will be much of the same.  Kylie will be starting basketball finals and has his first game on Monday.  A few of the boys are sick and so hopefully they play their best.  Rachel and I have quite a few play dates and parties coming up.  Rachel is a bit sick though so please pray that she recovers quickly.  We are so thankful to have such great friends and to be living in Hong Kong...especially this time of the year when the weather is 20 degrees in January!!
Lots of Love, 
Kylie, Jocelyn and Rachel

Kylie, Rachel and I had a great week.  Kylie is happy that his team won the last basketball game and are that much closer to being #1 in their division.  They play American next week and if they win will have a good chance of being #1.  It has been fun to watch Kylie's team play and we hope that they win a medal this year.  Rachel and I are getting used to being in a routine.  We have a few exciting things happening in the next couple of weeks and a holiday to start February.  Love, Love, Love this time of year!!
