The Earthquake...

Don't know if you heard, but there was a 7.8 earthquake here today. It was in Chengdu, though, so only a little movement was felt here in Beijing. Jack and Jed had to use their knowledge from the earthquake drills they've done and then were evacuated from school for about 45 minutes (teachers called it a fire drill since that's what they had taught them) and all afternoon activities were canceled, including the meeting I was on my way to at the time of the quake. Jack's teacher was doing work at her desk on the third floor while the kids were in PE and she felt the quake. Everyone is home, safe and sound, now.

Here's a picture from Mothers' Day.
