Jade Buddha Temple

 Today I went to The Jade Buddha Temple with Sonal and Manish's Dad to check it out.  There was a little more to see at this one than at Jing'an Temple and it was decorated a little more.
 Lanterns
 The Reclining Buddha (you couldn't take pictures of the actual Jade Buddha)



 Everyone was throwing coins into this sculpture.
 The building have so mush detail to them it looks so cool.

Fun pics

 A couple of fun pics from some of the sculptures around the temple

 Sharing an umbrella!
Hannah has been obsessed with the movie Madagascar lately so she got so excited when she saw this she had to have her picture taken with the lion!

Jing'an Temple

 We went to Jing'an Temple on Sunday to check it out, since it looks really cool.  It is one of the oldest Buddhist Temples in China.  And the oldest in Shanghai.






 Buddhist Monks







It was really cool to see.

Happy St. Patty's Day

 Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Shanghai so we went to play on the playground in our complex.  Ben's first time on a swing.  He was loving it!  Here is Hannah giving him a little push!
 Fun on the swings

Hannah!

So this is where Hannah was playing this morning, because she said her babies wanted to play on the roof!  Also note the outfit she picked out today!  

Mmmm...Peas!

 So last night at dinner I was feeding Ben, I got up for a minute to help Hannah and when I got back Ben had grabbed his spoon and was chewing on it!  This is how he got so messy!  Here is his old man face he always makes!
Loving the peas!  I have decided to make my own baby food since baby food here is $3 a jar and the way this boy eats we would be broke!!
