Sightseeing with Linnea


 We went to the grocery store first so I could show her what that is like and all the smells and interesting food they have there, nothing like throwing her right into it!!
 The we went to Yu Garden to see some traditional Chinese architecture.
 We also went to the craft market...she was a little scared!  
 Day 2 we went to Jing'An Temple to see the Buddha statues...the girls went with us today because they didn't have school.


 The girls wanted to "pray"
 Making a call
 On The Bund
 Linnea got to experience what happens to us when we go places...there were a couple Chinese people taking their picture too!

 We had lunch on the Bund in a restaurant that looks like a lighthouse 
Playing games after we got back!
The kids just love Linnea and are having a blast with her!!

Our 1st Visitor!

 After a long flight Linnea finally arrived!  
 The girls made this sign to welcome Linnea to China!
Happy to be here!
We can't wait to show her around!

Wo men de xin jia! Our New home!


Our new home here in China.  
We decided to move to be closer to the girls school and Gary's work, also because we no longer live in a high rise!  It has been great so far!  The girls have so many friends that live here too.
The view from the back, we have a patio...now it feels like a home!
