I can't believe that the Great Firewall of China has kept me off this blog and Facebook for so long! I truly needed this outlet. That is okay! We are getting a VPN when we come back to Shanghai in the fall. In 4 weeks and 2 days we will be flying out of here and heading home. We are all so excited, especially the kids! (Well, I can hardly contain my excitement as well!) The kids have grown so much this year. Sean has done so well in Kindergarten. Jasmine has had a tough year, but she is so resilient that I know she is going to be just fine. The poor kid has been in 2 different homes in Shanghai, 3 different schools, and just frustrated on a day to day basis due to the language barrier with her ayi. She really has picked up a ton of Mandarin, and now she and Ayi just sit and chat, and I have no idea what the heck they are saying. Sigh! I guess I better start taking some Mandarin lessons to keep up with her. She is so funny because she will talk with Ayi all afternoon, and I ask her to tell me how to say something and she says, "No Mommy! You speak English." Anyway, I put together a quick slide show called, "Our Year in 30 Photos". See you all soon!
