We got “home” this morning around 12:30 or
1 am after a pretty good flight (Baba was quite sick on the flight but luckily,
I was pretty well behaved and 妈妈 was able to manage
me, even though she’s almost 7 months pregnant with my baby sister!
Baba, 妈妈 and I (my two older sisters could
not come) are “home” in New Jersey for Jo Ayi’s baby shower (can you tell from
the blue background – she’s going to have a BOY!!). Today’s (pseudo-surprise) baby shower was
lots of fun. I was VERY clingy to 妈妈because I didn’t
know anyone else at the shower and I didn’t have much of an appetite but I did
manage to eat some of the 葱油饼 (scallion pancakes).
During the week we’re at home in New
Jersey, we will get to go to Bear
Mountain (GongGong and PoPo used to take their kids every autumn to see the
brilliant colors), too! Elaine Jiu-Ma,
Conway Jiu-Jiu, GongGong, 妈妈, and I went. Below I am content in the car (highly
unusual) for the one-hour drive and then we took a couple of very nice walks on
a spectacular autumn day with an equally stellar view!
