FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

We have been attempting to update our blog for over a month now, but due to the earthquake in Taiwan shortly after Christmas which damaged the internet cables that connect us to the U.S.A., this is the first time we've been able to get to this website and create a post! We still can't download pictures for you to see, but we wanted you to know that we're still here, alive (though cold) and hoping to update you more extensively soon with stories and pictures of all of the things that have been happening with our family. We enjoyed a very different but fun Christmas, though we missed YOU so much that it made many of us cry. New Years Eve was fun too, and we got there 13 hours before our family did, which was weird. We're looking forward to a nice long vacation in Thailand in February before classes start again. And we're also planning on adding some feline family members in March! So much to tell you, so little time -

Please take care and know that as soon as we are able, we will provide you with lots of fun Allen family photos to enjoy!
We love you and miss you a whole bunch -
