- I finally convinced Chris to see a doctor since he fell down skiing and his hand has been hurting for about a month now . Advantages of living in Germany - free and/or cheap doctors. Disadvantage - he had to spent the entire day dealing with it but in the end he now has a brace because he chipped a bone.
- Anton's pretty much healed after his tonsil/adenoid surgery but goes in for a final check up on Monday. His speech therapist explained to me why his voice changed and it's actually an interesting tidbit of useless trivia. When we talk our tongues get used to only going so far until they hit the tonsils and when those tonsils are shorted that creates an air gap. This should close as his tongue (which is a muscle) will start hitting his new shortened tonsils. Good for us (and also see the point above) - free surgery, free follow up, free medicine.
- Our travel plans have expended and I am going to Barcelona and Madrid with a friend. Hi friend!!! Family trip to Manchester, England is coming up in May as well. We are looking into some other opportunities within driving distance of Frankfurt for some 4 day trips. Exciting times!
- Andrei has a huge test "on body" next week. He has to know tons of bone names and internal organs, how things work,etc. so from now until next Thursday it's pretty much study time nearly every day and it's exciting that Andrei is the one that wants to learn and get a good grade. I can't wait until Ilya gets to that point as well - right now Ilya just wants to get good grades, not so much in the studying department.
- Fasching activities start in 2 days and Anton is EXTREMELY excited! Stay tuned for pictures next week.
- Last weekend activities:
It's been almost exactly 2 months since the last time I wrote here. Our summer has come and gone as well as 3 weeks of school have passed. The life has been busy but I knew that since all the kids are in new schools and our schedules are completely different from last year. We are still trying to figure stuff out but anyway ... Our house looked like that most of the summer Night before school Anton has started 1st grade. He goes to school for kids with hearing issues and from what I understood the kids in his class are all over the spectrum regarding their issues. Anton does not have a problem with hearing but his brain does not process what he hears at normal rate and Anton's teacher knows how to work with him which has been good so far. The school is a little bit further away but he gets picked up and dropped off right in front of our house and it's going good. He leaves the house at 7:15 and comes home at 15:40 3 times a we...
