Even during such an unusual year, it's hard to believe we're barreling toward the holidays. The girls are used to their teachers, classmates, and work routine, Ben has adjusted to his heavy load, and Kara has started as a Learning Assistant in the school as well, working with 5th graders. While we're busy, we are trying not to take for granted our ability to go to school now and to have things operating on a safe level. Security has tightened up in the city after one case of Covid hit Shanghai last week, the first locally transmitted case in almost half a year. In other news, Ben finally upgraded from his iPhone 7 that wouldn't stay charged and got the new iPhone. We've been having fun with the camera and look forward to seeing even more of its capabilities.
Halloween was another fun night and the girls enjoyed getting their haul. The biggest treat was visiting their favorite art teacher from YCIS.
Kara went to blow glass with Tracey and absolutely loved it. Working with temperatures that felt "as hot as the sun" made for an amazing experience.
Lastly, the girls have gone through a Rubik's cube obsession and have gotten quite fast. Nina can occasionally solve them in under a minute. Here's an old video of them at work.
