Hi everyone from China!

Hi everyone from Beijing!

I just wanted to check in with a quick hello from Beijing, where all is basically fine, though I'm now nursing a cold. It's cold here and so I'm trying to go out as little as possible till I feel better.

Here's my blog address where you can read more of my news:

Love to all!

Dawn's dance competitions

The Dance/Cheer competition Dawn participated in back on Jan 13 went very well. The Fairport Dance Team only danced as exhibition, they were not judged since Fairport was hosting the competition. The Monroe County Dance/Cheer competition will be held this weekend, Jan 20 at the Blue Cross Arena downtown. The National Anthem is at 7:55 and the competition itself starts at 8 am and runs until 5 pm. The dance team will be judged this time around so pray for the FHS Dance Team!

Dear Wonderful Family,
The blog has had some action over the past couple of weeks thanks to the Turk Hill Road and the Mason Road Fitches. The rest of us better get on the ball! Hopefully you all received Sharon's new e-mail address while she is in China: swesoky@yahoo.com (I hope this is correct. If I am wrong, it should be on the e-amil that I sent you yesterday.) She arrived safely yesterday, will be there until June 1 working on her research. She will keep us informed of her research via her blog. She will send us all the information. Happy Blogging! Love you all, Mom

Mason Rd. reporting

Condolences to Jeanine on the passing of her Grandmother and safe travel downstate and home. Good luck to Sharon on your journey. Thanks for the info on the scarves - my friend, Anne, says the info was very helpful.
Work was a tough week - glad it's over - I think I will play hookie from work on Monday. You know, with the way the forecast looks, I believe if the kids did have school, they'd get a snow day on Monday. Oh well, at least it's finally getting here. Let's hope Cal gets to ski club on Wednesday.
Dawn, dance well - wish we could see you perform. I guess it's a go for next weekend for dinner - Cathie and John Wright want to be included. See you all then.
Jean

One more thing

I almost forgot! All our thoughts and prayers to Sharon for a safe journey to China and to Jim when he joins her over there - and a safe trip home!
Love you!
Connie, et al

Happy New Year from the TurkHill Fitches

Hello all -
Talked with dad last night and he is feeling better but Mom is struggling with a sinus infection. We are praying that they make full recoveries soon! Adding to the sick news....3 of the 5 of us had the stomach flu last week - but we are okay now.
News from the kids:
Dawn is participating in TWO dance competitions this month!
1 at Fairport High and the other at the Blue Cross Arena
Morgan received a Good Helper award at school just before Christmas break!
Robin is chattering away and has teeth coming in now!
All else is well and we think we have recovered from the very busy but wonderful holidays!
It was great seeing everone and hope it won't be too long until we are all together again.
Looking forward to Dad's birthday in a couple weeks!
Love to you all,
Connie, John, Dawn, Morgan & baby Robin

From the Mason Rd. Fitch's

Here is one of my New Year's wishes...everyone gets healthy! My parents are both down with a cold - so is Dad Fitch. I am still trying to get over mine. Antibiotics help a lot. Jim is still on crutches but managing well from the looks of things. Thanks to everyone for a fun filled Christmas celebration. We really appreciated all the great gifts. Mostly, we enjoyed being together. Mike and I can't wait till we get all together again.

Love,
Jean
