Sunday, June 22nd









Well, it's been a while... a week since the last blog... seems like longer. It's been a long week. But it's Sunday, and it's been a nice weekend here.

So, to combat the Summer mosquitoes, people sleep under net canopies that are hung over the bed. So for the kids, instead of that, we got them a tent.

Tents are ridiculously inexpensive here, and it gives them a lot more room than the net would... Plus, they get to have a tent in their bedroom.

It was also initially a plan to give Eli a little "space" from his sister, who can be a little over stimulating... So, it was going to be Eli's Tent, but as soon as it was up, Rhiannon began domesticating it. Blankets, pillows, stuffed animals...

Technically, it's still Eli's Tent, and Rhiannon has to ask to come in for sleepovers... They have a floor fan pointed in to keep then cool, and it's been working pretty well.

Not much of interest... I'll be changing schools at the middle of the Summer. I'll be going back to work for a Taiwanese woman, Ainjalie, who owns a well run buxiban (English Cram School). I worked for her during our first time here... Her husband puts on the May Jam, which I put up a couple pictures of us at a month or so ago... the beach thing.

So, some changes in our life...

Calvin's doing well. Teething again, but it hasn't been too bad. He's in pain, etc, but he's eating and sleeping well. Gosia's got him going down the Incline Floor a bunch of times a day... His sounds are improving, too... He's making Ma's and Bu's... He's really expressive with his sounds, which is really nice to hear.

When it's finally time for the kids to do Falcon Ridge on their own, they'll be ready!

My god-daughter as a domestic goddess? Feh! I have plans to train her to be the next Le Femme Nikita super-spy!
