Our first day home and we slept through church, but made it to the weekly Chinese school program. We signed the kids up and bought their books. We also learned that Bobby speaks Mandarin, Cantonese and another dialect of local language. In fact it was kind of cute, his question to the teachers was, "Why do I need to learn Chinese? I speak 3 kinds of Chinese already! Well, of course, we hope that he will be able to retain his language ability. We are going to stay low and close to home for the next month. It will be a couple of weeks before we will start the kids in school. We will get our new routine going and hang on.
The kids are smart, talk constantly, and need a lot of time to play hard. Our house is quite loud now. We are praying for a smooth transition for us all. Especially the older boys who feel invaded.
Back to work for me where there is piles of paperwork.
