It’s 2 weeks today and so far it has gone by so fast. We
have all settled down in classes. Alleyah and Noah are attending a bi-lingual
school in the mornings. Morgan and I have also started our language classes. It
has been amazing to see things fall into place. Alleyah started back in here
dance class. Morgan started coaching baseball again, and I (Lori) got to start
my pregnancy visits at the hospital. The hospital will be a whole blog post of
its own later.
We are happy and settling in our home again. The kids were
sharing a room together before our trip to America. With our new addition in
Aug we moved Alleyah to our office and we now have our desk in our living room.
It’s all working out well. We also have some friends visiting from Pismo,
California and love their hearts for this place. Also have had the adventure of
returning to 2 pregnant cats that now have 8 kittens total! As soon as possible
we will give them away!
Check out the blog run by a friend here in town, updates
starting to happen to keep you updated on the Starfish-project here in our
city. Find it at: http://illumestyle.blogspot.com
There are a few things that stand out again after our visit
to the States. It makes me chuckle that these top 10 things were quite normal
before, but are shocking again.
1. Back to the land of no clothes dryer.
2.
Milk purchased in bags (very messy)
3.
Our picture taken without permission
4.
No road rules (except to honk at all times)
5.
Nose picking is a social norm
6.
Spitting is a social norm
7.
Split pants and children peeing on the sidewalk
8.
No shoes in the house
9.
Making slurping noise while eating
10. Something
breaking everyday.
Friends over to see the baby kittens.
