2011 Taipei Fubon Half-Marathon
On Sunday, I completed my 3rd half marathon. Caty was my running buddy. :) More than 120,000 runners participated in the race, which set off early from the square in front of Taipei City Hall.
Pre-race excitement...
Running through the streets of Taipei...
Finished!
We even got medals and towels...
My biggest fans were waiting to greet me at the finish line...
We did it!

Just for Fun
Here's our pastor with Kalan at the ALPHA celebration. Pastor Moses is really fun. In this picture, he is dressed up for a skit based on a movie recently released in Taiwan called Seediq Bale.
The movie portrays a 1930 Seediq uprising against the Japanese when Taiwan was a colony under Japanese rule.
Can you see a resemblance?

Tiny Spaces for Tiny People
When we started taking care of Micah, I googled "how to care for a baby in a small apartment." I really needed some ideas for how to make it work.
The best results gave me ideas for 400 square foot apartments. That was okay, except that our apartment is half that size.
So, here are five things we've learned about having a baby in a really small apartment. I hope this helps someone out there.
1. Buy a baby tent instead of a crib. It's portable and easily folds away when you're not using it.
2. Use your stroller as a high chair during meal times, then fold it away. Just make sure to wipe it clean.
3. Use an inflatable bathtub (or the kitchen sink.) Ours hangs from a suction cup above the washing machine.
4. Only keep a few toys (sometimes non-toys are more fun anyway...like plastic containers filled with beans.)
5. Use foam mats that can easily slide into storage. We keep ours behind the couch.
Tiny spaces for tiny people can work with a little creativity.
