Not a vacation

For me at least, it's been hard to remember that our time here isn't a vacation. It's certainly seemed like one so far, hasn't it? We've been travelling and shopping like tourists over the past couple of weeks; my parents being here for just under three weeks has helped that impression since we're also trying to bring them around. They'll be going back home on Monday though. Then I expect things to fall into more of a normal routine after that. We haven't looked into getting J into a school, mainly because we wanted him to get used to being in a new place. But maybe we should get that going soon. We did come across gymnastics classes for kids his age, and when I explained that he'd be able to jump, run and bounce, you can imagine how keen he was!

K's classes have started and he's slowly getting back into the groove of being a student. Homework and readings have begun. His workload now isn't too bad, but it'll get tougher in the fall. Even then, it's hard getting all his readings done with two boisterous kids running around the house, so I hope to be able to bring the kids out to the parks a bit more now that the weather is getting warmer gradually. Give K a bit more time and space to get his work done.
