Although I (Wendy) started this blog in 2008, I have been publishing my thoughts online for a while. My old "thoughts" page where I used to post can be found here. This contains writings that go back to 2003, however many of the links are dead at this point. I'm working to get those old posts back up. My poems page is also on my old site.

Blog roll... (blogs I read, even if I don't always agree with)
Today, we slept in. And that was wonderful. Then, we got up and went to a picnic that ICCP, the church here that Dom is a pastor of, was hosting in a local park. There were Easter egg hunts for the kids and field day events for the youth. There were over 100 people there, total, and it was a great time to meet a lot of their friends.
We picked up sandwiches at a local bakery to take with us, and although it was overcast, Daisy had fun with her little Easter basket and a few eggs.
Daisy playing with her Easter eggs. Dom and David got a game of American football going, teaching a group of guys the rules and how to throw the ball. They had a lot of fun.
On the way home (it was about a 30 minute walk from Dom and Hil's apartment), we stopped at a patisserie and enjoyed a few snacks.
When we got home we crashed... we were all so exhausted. Daisy had fun wearing mommy's hat while we relaxed on the bed.
For dinner, Dom and David went and picked up Vietnamese and Chinese food. We always eat Chinese food on March 27, in memory of David's father. He passed away 3 years ago today, and one way that we honor him is to eat Chinese food together as a family. We were surprised that the restaurant here actually had some authentic Chinese food, including Bao, Hac Cao, and Shu mi.
Now we are ending the night watching some basketball via the slingbox connected to our TV in Blacksburg. Isn't technology amazing? We're in France watching our own DirecTV signal... :)
Daisy likes to sit on daddy's lap and just chill.
Here are the two boys watching basketball with their "girls" on their laps: David & Daisy and Dom & Talli
Saturday has been fun. What will Sunday hold? Check back to find out!
We are leaders with New Life Christian Fellowship in Blacksburg. We used to spend a lot of time with college students as part of NLCF Campus, and this is how our home was named "houseofchinn." Some of the students in the bible study we led started calling our house that and it just stuck. So "HOC" was born. Even though we don't lead a bible study for undergrads anymore, we do lead one with the Downtown Congregation of New Life Christian Fellowship. Our group has married couples, kids, graduate students, public school teachers, community members, you name it. We still love having people over, building into lives, and we love working with our local church.
One of my (Wendy's) roles is speaking periodically on Sundays, and I'm working on getting a page up soon with links to some past talks. Stay tuned...
