Hi All,
So, its been a little while since I have posted. Obviously we are home now and things are going okay. There are good and bad days (hours). Everyone is trying to find their place and role. It's definitely a lot louder around here now. Someone had once said "How much harder could it be to do two at once?". I can now answer that question, "Very, very hard!". I feel like I am cooking for a small army now. I never thought adding two girls would create such a large grocery bill. They would eat non-stop if we would let them.
We got them enrolled in school "Woo Hoo!!!!". They start 6th grade on Tuesday - can't wait, us and them. They were so excited when they found out what we were doing down at the school. I'm still not sure that they understand the teachers will be speaking english. That should be a small shock.
It's really cool right now. We have a lady from Church that is Chinese that is speaking to the girls and telling them everything that they need to know about school such as asking "Where is the bathroom" and "waiting their turn, etc... The funniest one is "Lock the door for the bathroom" - reason: Someone doesn't even close the door yet so that will be a good one. It really is funny though hearing them all excited and talking. I know that they have been frustrated with us not being able to understand them. We are doing the Rosetta stone but even that has been a challenge. I'm not sure they understand what we are trying to teach them. The copy what the computer says but they don't really pay attention to the pictures. Example: They will say "Girl" but then when it asks they will point to any picture on the screen "Boy, man, woman", whichever one is closest.
Anyway, that's all I have time for right now. Sorry for the gap and hopefully I will be able to keep up with the in the weeks to come. Make sure t check Deb's blog or Facebook for the most current "events".
Thanks all
Bill
