Getting There

The first leg of our trip involved all of us sitting in the middle seats of different rows in the airplane, beautiful planning! No one would budge so I could sit with my kids. I had Gar check how we are going to be seated on the way to China for 14 hours, and it is a little bit better. Gar is seated somewhere in the nether regions and the kids will be seated next to me.
I will be relieved to finally get situated in our new home. For reasons unknown I packed a suitcase full of socks and only one pair of pants for Lulu, so I will need to go shopping very soon. Look out Super Brand Mall.

Before/After Mao/Nixon

Dining room before/after

We are breaking some type of record for the number of small boxes used in our move, ugh! I take no pride in this title, it is very similar to the time a waitress announced that she had never seen anyone finish a slice of the cheesecake at her restaurant, as she gazed at my empty plate. I honestly did donate a tremendous amount of my worldy possessions, yet I still look like a crazy hoarding cat lady, minus the cats. Aren't those cupcakes cute? My sister brought over a dozen farewell Mao/Nixon cupcakes much to our delight.  I will hopefully start blogging as soon as possible in Shanghai.
