My beautiful cousin Ruth arrived in Shanghai on Wednesday evening. Here she is just an hour after getting off the plane... I don't know anyone else who looks this good after 20 hours of travel!
We've had several days together to explore in Shanghai... here are a couple of photos from our outing yesterday, in the local neighborhoods around Yuyuan Garden and then in the garden itself. So fun!
Ruth captured this scene yesterday, of a grandma using the traditional Chinese potty training method of holding the baby's legs apart and whistling. No success this time, but she was pleased we took a photo and wanted to see it after! Notice the split pants... makes training quite handy!
We figured we couldn't have gotten this guy's mug so clearly in our photo if we tried! The building to the left in the photo is a 450+ year old tea house.
Ruth had to have a China Starbucks photo!
In the garden... one of my favorite places in Shanghai. :-)

The photos made me weep! They are so good and I just love seeing the two of you together and seeing what you're doing!!! Mom
What sweet photos of you at beginning and end. So glad Ruth could be there with you.
I'm thinking about the potty-training method and the impact of overheard whistling forever after.
