On December 1st Steve and Mandy left for a 10 trip to China. They left Los Angeles and flew to Beijing. They also took two other flights within China. They saw lots of wonderful things including the Great Wall. You can check their blog for pictures in the next few days.

While they were gone Grandpa David and I watched Nolan for the first 5 days. We tried to keep him entertained. He came to watch me play shuffleboard. He went to the Country Store with Grandpa. He helped move chairs for the social. We took a trip to the train park. Check out the video of the train ride. I forgot how much energy an almost 4 year has. He is very loving and is very easy going so we had a very easy time. The people in our park enjoy seeing him and usually have goodies for me.
