Arkansas
The kids and I went to Arkansas this past weekend. Stayed with anther adoptive family, had a bar-b-que (veggie style for us), went on a hayride, stayed up talking till 3 am and of course the kids slept for just a few hours each night. They played outside the whole time, ate outside, and came in only to use the potty or sleep. She has three kids, and of course, so do I.
There is something so comforting about spending time with another adoptive family. Our kids felt normal. This is hard because Ravi attends school with mostly white and black kids, and same with Lakshmi and Priya. This weekend, there were 4 Indian kids, several Caucasions, and a ton of Korean kids. We had SO much fun.
My kids cried when we had to leave Arkansas and come back home!
Volvo
Well, my car broke down week before last weekend. Finally got it back just an hour before I left for Arkansas. It runs much better than before. However, the rings are worn out due to the way the first guy put the car together, and now the engine will have to be replaced. I hope it lasts through the time that I take my national board exam for Massage Therapy. Then, I can either buy a new engine, or get a new car.
First Field Trip
Ravi is going on his first field trip at school. Sure he has been on many field trips, but all as a homeschooler. He is excited about it. I volunteered to go as a chaperone. It will be my first time to chaperone. I'm a little nervous, although the kids are mostly very good.
