Catching up now on some things that happened in June and July. I had some trouble trying to upload pictures and I just don't think that blogging without pictures is worth it, but it finally worked today, hip hip hurray!
Here is a picture of Eli's birthday cake. I blogged a picture of Dana's earlier so I thought I would a put a picture of his in as well (plus I'm proud of it okay?). He had a bit of a fiasco on his birthday, we went to this park where we thought we could rent those little kiddie cars by the half-hour, but they were nowhere to be found, so we were trying to decide what to do instead when Eli fell and scratched his head. We put a diaper on his head to stop the bleeding and numerous Chinese people were telling us to take him to the hospital. But we didn't and we didn't need to, he was fine and the party continued at my friend's house which was nearby.
Here's Eli's buddy Caleb having some cake with Eli. They are good friends. I'm thankful that we all have found someone to click with over here, at least one friend for each of us. It's one of the things I asked for and really hoped for when we first came.
Had lots of rain in July, so we had some very fun and very dirty puddle-playtimes. I would ordinarily not stand for this but we were within 2 minutes of our house and therefore our bathtub, the use of which immediately followed this episode.
Living in a city of 10 or so million, we still play tourist a year after arriving. Here the kids are in the TV tower, some 400 metres high. That's Naomi, on the left, another good friend of Eli and Dana, who lives pretty close to us. We do a lot with her parents too, cool-cat Brits who live a 5 minute cycle away.
