We spent the afternoon trying to get a family photo for the Christmas card. It was one of the first days with no rain, but it was quite cold (40F). We scrambled to get a photo that was recognizably Shanghai. This one of the girls is my favorite.  Average Rating: 4.4 […]

Eleri has found that reading books is quite fun. She enjoys her purple reading chair and flipping through the books. It does make it tough to read a story in order as Eleri flips the pages back and forth.
