Back in the Saddle Again
February 26, 2007
After 5 glorious weeks of vacation and living the high life in Northern China it is time to go back and actually earn the paycheque I receive. Yes it’s “Back to School” time in China - the New Year’s festivities have drawn to a close and it’s time to hit those books.
It has been a great time to hang with family and connect better with my boys and of course with Alice. When school starts I am usually fairly busy most nights and don’t have the time to just watch Carter and Nathan grow and develop and do things that only their parents find cool but feel necessary to tell everyone else anyway. An example you ask - yesterday I was making French Toast and Carter went to touch the hot grill and we both screamed at him (in two languages) “Don’t touch it it’s hot!!” Averting that crisis we turned our attention to Nathan eating something hazardous from the floor only to see Carter going for the pan again but this time he had put on the oven mitts. I am not saying he is Einstein but you gotta admire his creativity.
Well .. Happy Chinese New Year to you all. Guo Nian Hao! Remember to eat lots as it is “The Year of the Pig”.
