So Friday was Spirit day at the kids school (SAS). The children were all placed in houses (think Harry Potter) and given t-shirts with their house animals on them. Thankfully all three of our kids were placed in the same house (the dolphins). Thomas painted his face blue! He was hoping to put himself in a bathtub filled with food coloring to dye himself blue but I nixed that plan. He had to settle for face paint. The kids all paraded around the school showing school spirit by yelling and cheering. The winning team got to put their house jersery on the school mascot (an eagle) for the school year. The dolphins won! I am sure it was directly related to Thomas's blue face!

The other exciting thing we has this week was a typoon day on Wednesday. Typoon Wipha was supposed to make landfall in Shanghai. The school closed because the Chinese government closed all local schools so they followed suit. Jin Mao Tower where Jon works was also closed so everybody was home for the day. Wipha changed her plans last minute and made landfall south of us so all we had was a bit of rain. Here is a photo of Jon and Noah both hard at work!

I loved the picture of sweeping the grass. People after my own heart! The pictures look great of the kids - sounds as though Thomas carried the day with his Blue Face! I especially loved the picture of Noah and his dad working at their computers - what a change from our raising Sarah and her brothers! Keep the pictures and dialogue coming!
Love, Dad
