Made it to Shanghai

We made it! This will be a short note. It is now 6:28 pm on Wednesday (12 hours later than you in Michigan) and the kids have been napping for a couple hours. I need to wake them so that they can sleep tonight.

Our first full day consisted of Elizabeth and Alex waking up at 4 AM and wanting to play. (it's going to take a few days for our bodies to adjust). Elizabeth proceed to have at least 5 changes of clothes by 8 am!

We went to the local police station to register, went to Pizza Hut for lunch (tastes them same as in the states, don't want to get too crazy with the kids yet) and we ended up at the Carrefour to do some grocery shopping. The kids were losing it at the end which was okay because we weren't tempted to buy more. It is difficult enough with two kids and a stroller to get into the taxi, cannot add to many more bags to the mix. Thank goodness Kirk was with us. It will be a while until I venture out with E and A on my own in a taxi! Elizabeth loves not having to sit in a car seat. Makes me nervous.

That's it for today. I'll upload some pictures tomorrow.

I'm glad you made it okay. I'm sure the simple things like grocery shopping is going to be a big adventure for awhile. Send some pictures when you get a chance.

No carseat! Grammy is nervous. I'll be happy when you get your car and driver. Hope the kids adjust to the time change. I can't imagine 4 a.m. for morning juice and milk with Elizabeth and Alex. Kisses and Hugs!
