If you look closely at this pic, you can see the older boys running up ahead. Rascals! Chris had to race after them.

Today we learned that there was a "foreign" bakery close by our apartments so we set off in search for it. The Skyline Bakery sells real bread! Most bread in China is very sweet, more like a dessert than stuff to make sandwiches from. They also sell cheese and deli meat, as well as a case full of decedant desserts. The walk there was interesting, along a hilly road. All stairs are accompanied by ramps, for bicycles I suppose.

We ate dinner at the bakery, just cold cut sandwiches. It was a nice break from the constant Chinese food we've been eating everyday. Don't get me wrong, I really like the food we've been eating. The cook employed by the group is very talented. Petey and Zack love the duck she serves. We just wanted a change and deli sandwiches were perfect.

I'm interviewing nannys tomorrow. Now before you think I've gotten too big for my britches, remember that I'm homeschooling the kids as well as taking three classes this semester. Chris will be gone from 7-5 everyday. In order to maintain my sanity, as well as get any shopping, etc. done, I will need some help. The nanny will help watch Connor while I teach the boys in the morning and she'll also watch all three of them so that I can get some studying in. We'll see how it all works out. This is all very new to me.
