Thanks for sending some love!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

The kids were thrilled to get to open their Valentine's this morning from Grandma and Grandpa, Nai Nai and Pepere, and their aunts, uncles and cousins!! It was odd this year not having to fill out all of the cards for school with the kids - there are not too many Americans at our school, so V Day goes by pretty much unnoticed here!! I had all good intentions of helping the kids bake heart shaped cookies and decorate them for the their classmates, but after our week of illnesses, I'm pretty sure no one would want to eat them. We may make them tomorrow and take them on Monday - we'll see!!!

I did notice while we were out today that a lot of people appeared to be celebrating the holiday. There were lots of roses for sale on the street and even some live bands performing on Nanjing Lu (shopping street). Danny and I have asked our ayi to come in tonight so we can go out to dinner!! I'm so excited for a break - it's been a long week!!


Lots and lots of love to you all!!
