Hi Ben & Bethany:
This is David & Kelley from Chicago. I(david) was born in Feng Yuan. It was a small town then in mid 60s. I was born a block away from a Buddhist temple. My grandparents former house is now the middle of the busiest street mkt in Feng Yuan a block away from the Buddhist temple. Perhaps you’ve been there? If so, my grandfather(who’s passed away) built a 4 story bldg on their former residence land and there are shops now on the first floor.
I taught English to kids in 1990-91 in Taipei for 6 months. Taiwan is a crazy place but fun and I hope you’re enjoying yourselves. The video is very cool and sweet and it’s awesome you get to do your own foster parenting. You will miss eating street vendor food so much when you return to the USA. That’s the one thing from Taiwan I’d like to import to the USA.
I have a cousin Annie Liao who also lives in the Feng Yuan/Taichung area. She teaches English also and is an artist. Look her up if you like: annie7872@yahoo.com.tw. Tell her that, David Liao, her cousin from Chicago sent you to her. She speaks fluent English and can give you inside scoop on the area and I’m sure she’d like to make new friends from the USA.
warm regards, David & Kelley Liao
The last shot of her sleeping is wonderful!!! I’m sure everyone is going “Ohhhhhhhh” when they see it. Sounds like everything is going well, except for the soup thing. Can’t wait to get there for our little one.
Bethany and Ben, just took a long overdue pause to update myself on your journey. She is absolutely adorable. Those words are so over used, that doesn’t even measure up to the joy in her face. I expect Mom and Dad are behind the lens smiling every bit as big! God’s blessings and protection over you all.
Congratulations Ben and Bethany!
We just got the link and have enjoyed seeing all the pictures of Violet. She is such a cute little girl- we look forward to meeting her in person.
