New freinds and cute photos, and kittens.

So i have found some new friends, we meet at the park the other week and it turned out that she was there with a playgroup that meets every Wednesday morning. So for the last couple of Wednesdays we have been meeting and chatting in parks around the place (not always with the play group as both of us have to work in the afternoons so we can't go too far from the city).
Her name is Kelly (for the US) and her son is Called Nikolas (Nik, 15 month or about that), her husband is Russian (they meet in Taiwan and have been here for a long time now over 10 years.) We get on well and have the same shedual so it's really great. I am glad to find some new friends as my dear friend Heather will leave Taiwan shortly to go and live in Japan. So i will need someone to replace her!! (ok i am joking of course i can't have anyone replace Heather but another friend i can hang out with is great)
So last weekend Sarah,Asher and I went over to near where they live and had a play date. (we were going to the beach but both the kids were sick they both have a cold..Sarah and Nik that is). So first we went to the park but found out it was way too hot there. Seriously what was i thinking a park at mid day in the summer...not so great. So we walked to her house. She has a lovely apartment that they moved into 4 months ago, there is tons of space and the kids had a blast. Nik happened to have the same outfit as Asher in her bag when we went to the park (a back up in case he got wet..there is water at the park). so after lunch Nik changed into the same outfit as Asher, funny. Lunch was amazing, she cooks western food and it was wow really good. We had re-fried beans in a wrap with fresh salad. It was a taste of home food not a hint of Taiwanese about it, yummy!
She took lots of photos so i have some really great shots to share, so here goes!










Aren't they so cute. Asher is such a doll, i wish i was married or had lots of money then I'd scoop him up. bless his cotton socks. He's like Sarah was in many ways, he love being scared and tiggled and thrown i guess he's an extrovert..(how do you spell that). He's already crawling really well and is just 6 months, this part isn't like Sarah Sarah crawled backwards for some time ...shuffled backward on her back...cute and fast but still not full on crawling till about 8months. Nik is very sweet and started walking not that long ago and his gate is so cute, it make your realise how much your child has grown when you see a younger kid walk. Sarah's walking is much more like a little girl than a baby. I borrows a book from Kelly called the toddler whisper and from the quick quiz in the front i'd say Sarah is a spirited child...like i didn't expect that to be the case! :)

PS found two kittens yesterday..both sickly, dehydrated, and weak. They are about 4 weeks old...of course i took them to the vet and now they are occuping my bathroom and my time. They woke me at 430 this morning needing to eat. bless them they are really skinny and were covered, really covered in fleas. I found so many you'd hardly belive it was possible. The vet sprayed them so all the fleas were dead but still grim. tons of them. it is no wonder that they are so dehydrated!
I will call one of them red (ginger female) and they other one soda (black, grey and white female). they look seriously scabby at the moment, but still cute. i have photos of how i found them before the clean up...their eyes are gunked up with yuck. bless. how could i not pick them up. there was a third but he ran away and i could get him. never mind he looked stronger than these two.
