The race I wrote about last weekend was fun but not financially rewarding. Oh well. It was fun to get excited about it. Here's the group watching the race at Mr.Pizza on Tuesday night.
James had a cross country meet this week and beat his 3k time by 5 minutes. Very proud of him, especially since he has been suffering from a cold and it was cold and rainy. This weekend we have been running around doing errands and finally got around to visiting the tailor this afternoon. We had heard having clothes made is quite cheap and a "must do" experience so we thought we would check out the local silk place. Abigail has chosen a dress from some pictures we found on-line and picked out some fabric so she is having a christmas dress custom made for her! Here she is having her measurements taken, she felt like quite the princess!
We also went to have Abigail's hair cut at the local salon. As some of you know, I have been painstakingly trying to get Abigail's bangs to grow out for almost a year now and we are finally to the point where she can tuck them behind her ears! yaaayyyy! Anyway, we chopped it to about shoulder length.
So that's about all to report for this week. We hope everyone is well. Obviously a big week in the US and we were able to watch quite a bit of coverage at school with the students as the day went on. Most of the americans we talked to were pleased and hopeful. I'll be cautious and choose to leave my political opinions out of the blog :)Last weekend before I got picked up to go shopping in Shanghai I took some pictures of our apartment complex Sudu Gardens. So I'll post them below. Lots of love until next weekend!
