Here's what's been on my mind lately.
Greenery - I love green space. There are places abounding with greenery here but I don't live in one of them. To give credit where credit is due, Xi'an does have more trees than other areas that we've lived in. Because of my need for green I have decided that whenever possible I will try to live on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd floor of apartments from now on. We live on the 8th and I can see trees lower down from various windows in my apartment but I'd like to be low enough that the trees where actually at my windows. This complex has a lot of beautiful landscaping and lots and lots of green stuff. That's one reason why we chose this place.
Characters - I am pretty horrible at remembering Chinese characters. Tuesday (the day I start back to school) is going to be very painful since the book I'm currently studying is all characters.
Milk - Today Yali stayed home with Lilian while Madeleine and I went out. It was a little trial run for the 2 of them. I have some breast milk stored up in the freezer for Lilian. Today was her first day to use a bottle. Like everything she does, she drank from a bottle like a pro.
Steiners - Tim and Sheryl are coming a week from Friday. They haven't touched Madeleine since she was 9 months old. I'm so excited for them to reconnect and to meet Lilian.
