This morning we went to Wal-Mart and I told the taxi driver where to take up. He understood my attempt at Chinese! Walmart is easy to remember because it sounds pretty much the same: Wo Are Ma. I took pics, but photobucket isn't cooperating with me tonight so I'll post them tomorrow instead. Every time we go to Walmart we end up with a cart full, which normally wouldn't be a big deal. However, when we have to carry our bags a block and then catch a taxi back home, it becomes a big deal. One time when Chris bought a lot of groceries all at once, the cashier kept asking him who all the food was for. He said "We Chinese never buy this much food." It was mostly all juices for the boys. (right now I'm watching Chinese break dancers on tv. They are very talented!)

I've hired a nanny. I feel weird about it, like I can't imagine myself actually employing a nanny (hopeness, don't take any of this personally. I totally respect the profession of nanny!)( Read more... )

Tomorrow morning the whole family is going in for physicals. As part of the work visa process, we have to have blood drawn. Ack, this is going to be such a huge ordeal. I don't even know if it will be physically possible to get blood from Zack, he's so strong now. I know this will thoroughly traumatize all three of them. Well, the reward is that we're going to the "Splash Park" tomorrow afternoon. That should be fun and interesting, so see what a Chinese water park is like :)
