Well, a lot has happened since the last post. Thomas broke his finger so we got figure out the health care system (surprisingly very good!), the kids all started school, (very happy so far) and we have further explored the shopping possibilities of Shanghai, (endless!).
The picture is of the kids leaving for the bus for the first day of school. Thomas is waving his cast making his argument against Heelys. Everyone seems very happy so far. Thomas particularly likes the MP3 friendly lounge. Sophie and Noah both have very small classes (only 16 kids in each) which makes mom very happy!
We have met lots of the other families living in our compound now. The start of school brought everyone out of their houses. Now if the temps would just drop below 90 I would be happy to come out of the house as well.
We went to a plant and flower market over the weekend and bought some large house plants/trees to fill up some of the space in the house. I am hoping they will absorb some of the echoes! We bargained for them (Jon did, he is sooo good at it) and we got two large tree things and nice ceramic pots for them for less than $25! I am loving the sport of shopping in Shanghai! Grocery shoppping is just as much as a drag as it is in the US with the added bonus of the live food section near the vegetables!
There have been some request for pictures of our house and compound. I will work on getting those taken today and get them posted soon! Keep the comments coming so I know that you can access the blog. I can't!

Sarah,
Thanks for taking the time to do this---I'm finding your families adventures and photos very interesting! Actually from today's photo, your front door could be someplace in GP?
But the big question is HOW IS PEABODY?
