whew!

Sorry about the 2 week silence, the firewall has been getting stronger (or higher?) and I haven't been able to sign in to blogger even using a proxy site. Problem is solved now though, we bit the bullet and got a VPN for our computer. This should make blogging a lot easier and more interesting. Now I can upload pictures and such so it's pretty exciting.

Speaking of pictures....here's a good one from our trip to Chengdu. This is Mel and Shifu with some pandas.
