Not quite one week into it and....

Ben Chia Wei and Zach were on the patio this afternoon. My back was to them as I cut up some strawberries. I assumed they were putting on bike helmets.
Ben spoke in a loud, agitated voice to Zach. Something along the lines of: "Punte mi tian e mi ya eee si ny aaah."
Zach responded: "I know."
And off they went.

We've been home for 3 days now and there is the beginning of some"normalcy" as a routine is beginning to develop. We 're learning to keep things moving and to provide lots of snacks to keep the boys happy. Sleep is still a bit of an issue for us all, but Ben is suffering jet lag the most. We kept them up tonight hoping to get them on California time at last. Wish us luck.

Ben also seems pretty comfortable in new situations. I pulled over to say "hi" to our neighbors and before I could stop, he was leaning out the window to greet them. Great progress!

Zach seems to love having his brother and the energy between them is high. Hopefully, Julie and I can match the energy level.

Hope you're all well and enjoying our story. For those who haven't noticed, we have pictures on all the entries now that we're home if you care to check them all.

Bye for now,

George, Julie, Zach, Ben, Ellie, Painter and Stan
