Trying Simple Life in Taiwan

Early this AM, dh and ds1 got on a train to the capital, it's a 6hour ride (give or take). Ds1 had to go to an award ceremony for his art project. I don't know if I can get a picture of it....I'll see.....

anyway, dh just called me to tell me the ins and outs...........totally bragging here:-)

out of 7,000kids whose pictures were entered, then 2000were chosen, THEN out of that 200 were chosen THEN after that 80 of those were sent to Japan for another competition. Well, our 9yr old got a special award (they didn't do first second third, but the name was better than honorable mention.......does that make sense?) in the Taiwan competition...........THEN out of the 80 sent to Japan, 75 received awards..............ds1 got honorable mention at that competition too!!!!!

I am so excited!! God has given him a great talent and we pray ds1 uses it greatly for the Lord. I can't wait til they get back and tell me more. DH didn't take pictures though.......bummer!!! But he said it was a long great award ceremony. What an experience for our 9yr old too!!
