New Member of The Family

This is Chunk the Chinchilla.  I like to call him Chico because his ancestors are from South America.  He is from the pet store though.  Isn't he just the cutest little thing?  When we first got him, he was scared of people.  Now he loves us.  When we scratch his little chin he raises his little arms up so we can scratch his belly.  He even lets us hold him.

Yes, we really are animal people!  All of us.  Sean and I were felt very lonely when all the animals were send to the kennel before our flight to Thailand.  We were only alone for four hours but we missed them already.

            
This winter has been the coldest in Shanghai in 30 years!  Casey doesn't like the snow.  It has snowed a hand full of times this year and it's a nice change.  Everyone loves building snowmen.  Snow ball fights are great also!
