We are in Melbourne. We have been here since mid-December. We will be here until the end of January, but Mike is going back to China for 3 weeks before coming back for Chinese New Year. The kids and I came over 4 days before Mike to save a bit on airfares. Compared to my first solo flights with two kids this was a breeze - the kids did what they were told, stayed with me and most importantly slept for about 6 hours in flight!!
We had a lovely Christmas, with delicious foods and super spoiled with lots of presents. It has been fantastic catching up with everyone. The kids have loved living in a house, and being able to just step outside onto the plush lawn. They spend all day running around, getting dirty and playing. They are being well looked after by grandparents, who love having them around.
It is summer in Melbourne, so we are supposed to be escaping the winter chill of Shanghai. Unfortunately though we have been averaging only about 6 degrees warmer than Shanghai... the other night it was 7 degrees in Shanghai, and only 10 degrees here... of course last night it was 40 ish until the wee hours. So lucky that was the night we chose to spend with friends drinking cocktails, slapping mozzies and seeing in the new year!!
Happy New Year!! Hope 2011 is everything you want it to be!!
