We survived our first earthquake. Last night around 6:30pm, I felt dizzy and the floor started moving. And in true Chicken Little fashion, I looked over at Jeff and said "the floor is moving, the floor is moving." It's a good thing we found that emergency exit. But seriously, it was the worst earthquake in 10 years for Taipei and it barely moved our building (11 stories total). So I'm sure we will be fine come what may. Besides, folks at home have tornadoes much more frequently. I worry for you.
In other news, Ava's rash is gone and we did not have to take an expedition to the doctor. Although, we do know where it is should we need to use one in the future.
And even better, the girls almost slept all night. Ava woke up once from 2am-3am but after some Ibuprofen, a bottle and some rocking she went back to sleep until 6am. Not too bad.
Today, we did a little shopping for our apartment and bought a ceiling fan for the girls room. There is a store here that is similar to Home Depot.
And finally, we checked out a cool pizza joint that looked like a hip hangout for college students from the university close to us. It was pretty yummy.
Talk to you tomorrow.

Ok all caught up now.
Should I send some green line like I showed you how to rappell with? I have an image of the Weathers family, clad in black, 4 lines over the side, rescuing trapped people as they make their descent from a smoky building. :-)
Will look at the webcam this Sunday.
Good to hear that the kids are starting to get over the jet lag. All in all you are much more secure than you ever have been. You are adapting quicker, you have identified and resolved known stress points. I loved your image portrait of you and the family trying to blend in. That was funny.
Thanks for keeping us updated again --- you will never want to come back to live in the states, as it will be much too boring and drab! Glad things are working out for you all. If your dad were over there, he could probably secure that building a bit better so it wouldn't move underfoot!
Keep us posted; we we love you and think of your family often.
