Back in the Saddle Again

We're all finally back at home in our own beds after two months of travel and guests. There's no place like home, truly. Even when it is far from many of our loved ones, it is so nice to be back in our own space with our regular routines.

Moo started back to pre-school this week and we're all excited that he has switched to afternoons. This means he gets to participate in the birthday parties and class field trips that always take place after lunch. Already on day two he got to eat cake and wear a party hat. And, surprisingly, he has jumped right into speaking the local language! His brain must have really benefited from a two month hiatus amongst English-speakers. He hugged his teachers and bus driver the first day back. He likes his routine too.

Lu loves having her own room again, although she is not so sure about napping all by herself. She napped in her stroller with kids running all around when we were at conferences last week. She loves having such a plethora of "new toys" to choose from again...which are really just her old toys that she hasn't seen for months. Both kids are driving trains all day long, each on their own track of course. Lu loves to say "Peece!" meaning "please"...for trains, food, drink, books, everything.

I went to the non-profit this week and took mental notes on how their cooking class runs. I'll be officially in charge in two weeks! If you have any great ideas or recipes for 'american meals' that I can teach the ladies here, I welcome the suggestions! 

Rick is back at his language learning and enjoying his routine of heading to work each morning. 

That's us in a nutshell....now, on to the photo montage!
