Bam Bam wants to move.

We are counting this as crawling.

Our greatest Purchase!

Andrea bought this "hog" yesterday!  Yes all 3 girls fit on it.  Abby is convinced it does not go fast enough.  It is electric and I will figure out how to get the governor off, 50km/hr seems slow for some reason.  The school is 1km away and it turns out to be too far for Andrea to walk, actually this will allow her to buzz home quickly to take care of baby.  Swimsuits are present because of the pool we have here.  It is indoor and used by my girls on a twice daily basis.

Out in the city

 The subway!  We did not lose anybody, we did not get separated!  Just as we relaxed and exited the station and rode the escalator up to the surface street, Abigayle decided to perform a trust fall into everyone below.  Luckily in Shanghai everyone is body to body.  She crowd surfed for a minute and then the surprised Chinese man behind returned her to us.  I am not sure she was even scared.

 Here we are looking for investment property.

 We did not know that we had a triple BoB stroller.  Very useful when you walk about 8km.  Bam Bam slept the whole time.  She is amazing.

Here are the girls with Chris and Becki's kids Carter and Josie the peal tower.  The Bishops have been instrumental in us getting settled.  We could not have done it without them.  I know I have said mean things about Chris before... but I take most of them back.

This is what jet lag looks like

Our first trip out to dinner at Blue Frog.  We figured if we left later in the day the girls would have to stay up.  They thwarted our plan by sleeping in the restaurant.  Their schedule was sleep from 5pm to 2am.  We have never experienced the phenomenon where the girls were begging to go to bed early.  Oh, Abby was in the stroller sleeping, baby had no problem.

We met up with my "boys" from SCIS.  5 boys that played for me are in Shanghai!  It was great to meet them as grown men!

The air plane ride.

 Here is Abby intently watching her movie.  Lego movie is actually amazing.  I loved it, "Everything is Awesome!"

She was a natural on the plane, talking to the stewardess, eating her food, and running up and down the isles.

The gentlemen stuck next to us was the nicest guy ever.  He actually slept more than anyone.

Mackenzie, with the help of Chi Chi, is watching Rio 2.  She actually got sick of watching movies.  She did get a little fever and struggled when we got to Shanghai.  Mackenzie got over it quickly and gave it to Abigayle and Andrea.  I turned out to be the toughest one.

Look at my girls!  Baby is in the bassinete.  Mackenzie kept moving around in her seat and actually spent time hugging the Chinese lady next to her.  Everyone really liked our kids, mostly because they were so good.  I had forgotten what 14 hours on a plane felt like!

Leaving America for 3 years!

Here we are as we prepare to leave.  We had just checked in and now we are headed out!
