Jonah's version of hide and seek

By Hallie Clark -
Here's how Jonah plays hide and seek:

1-Jonah points to the spot where Mommy is suppose to hide
2-Jonah goes to a corner and counts sometimes to 4, sometimes, to 7, sometimes to 10
3-Jonah runs over to the designated "hiding" spot while giggling his head off
4-Mommy leaps out and tickles Jonah as he runs away

FUN!

Such fun. We do it a little different at Grandma's. He likes to do the hiding (always in the same closet)and I count. He still does a lot of giggling! Love that little guy.

Scheduling yourself to Misery or Ezzo and Bucknam are Wieners

So you go through this amazing, surreal, frightening, primal, other-worldly experience. You stay in the hospital for the next day or two being served meals, checked on by nurse, midwife, nurse practitioner , pediatrician, infant nurse, plumber, electrician... you get the idea. And then there like, "Okay. You can go now." They're nice about it, and really, it is time to get on home, but then you realize what that means; "They are actually letting us leave as a family of three when we only came here as a couple. I feel kind of light-headed, is my forehead sweating? I don't know what the hell to do and I read a bunch of damn books...." You get the idea. And there is the problem; BOOKS. I'm a teacher. I love reading, I promote it, I think I can say that I use books every single day of my life. I don't think I am going to feel bad about saying this, Sometimes reading too much about one topic can be a mistake. I have used books to learn to bui...

Knowing the Language is Helpful

We have moved to a new country where we don't speak the language.  I don't expect anyone to speak MY language.  I am the visitor.  The expat.  The bule .  But I have Google Translate on my phone so things will be alright.  I can get by.  Acquire the things I need, and get to the places I need to go. However, there are some very good reasons to have a basic understanding of the language that surrounds you.  It isn't too difficult to think of the scenarios in which you might find yourself suffering for the non-existent language skills you possess.  And you may find yourself soothed by the fact that many people do in fact speak your language, if your language is English.  It isn't an obnoxious "American privilege" I speak from but a fact . But knowing how to say hello, good day, thank you, please and where is the bathroom can only get you so far. I decided that I needed a haircut and had the afternoon available to do so.  I took ...

Selling our Stuff, Moving Out

By Hallie Clark -

If Michael and I had known what it really meant to move away from the house we'd inhabited for 13 years, getting it ready to rent, learning how to be landlords, getting all the paperwork together for our visas, figuring what furniture to keep and what to sell, and then selling SO MUCH STUFF on Craiglist...DEAR GOD! We both looked at each other at one point and expressed that this was pretty much the hardest thing we'd ever done. Any example of the millions of things we sold.... The 1st table we ever bought together Our first "nice" furniture we bought from one of Michael's colleagues 18 years ago     Then after selling all that stuff, it was time to pack and move, and then the house went from looking like this:   To looking like this for weeks:   With a pretty constant "free pile" outside on the parkway for several weeks: Clearly we are great neighbors We literally worked until 8 PM the night before the tenants m...
