Returning 'Home'

Spring break started early when Kelly arrived back in Shanghai!  It was a surprise for the three littlest siblings...Joseph just screamed and hugged Kelly, Zoe kept saying "Oh my goodness is this real, are you really here?" and Abigail said "Oh I remember someone at school told me.  I knew you were coming, but I forgot!"  Too funny!

The week was focused on...just spending time together and it was WONDERFUL!  No time for jet lag with just a week visit.  Puzzles, Skip Bo, fake market shopping, visiting Joseph at school, watching Kim Possible & eating shrimp fondue, having family dinners (with everyone here!!!), going out for Krispy Kreme on Nanjing Rd (only to find it isn't there any more).  And of course getting real Chinese food...YuYuan for pork dumplings, South Beauty for lotus root/kung pao chicken/lettuce rolls/Chinese Yams/Fried Green Beans and Hot Pot!

 So good to have our girl back home - just feels right!

Eating at Hot Pot (a favorite for these two!)

Joseph is also a fan of hot pot
