Settling in at home

Hello from Ottawa! It already feels like a long time has passed since we were in China but we are quickly starting to settle into a routine. The adults are still going to bed too early and watching Magnum PI reruns at 4:00 AM (when we wake up for the day) but things are improving sleep-wise (for the adults - E&A seem to be sleeping worse since grandma and grandpa left).

I drop the girls off in the morning with B in the far back of the van. He whines a bit while in the car seat but not with near the vigour the girls first did. He is also very good at throwing the laundry basket down the stairs and turning off the computer (both of which he has done 3-4 times already). Here are a few pics from the last few days.

With Uncle J and Aunt L at Baskin Robbins in Beijing (I told L how B already has the start of a moustache and she said I was just jealous - which I am).

A shot of B and I just after getting off the plane at midnight (note he doesn't seem impressed with Ottawa at this point). The picture is a bit fuzzy but that matches how we were feeling perfectly.
















A shot of our wonderful babysitters (they survived two weeks), and three of their grandchildren.

B playing in the rec room:

A couple of videos of him in action. The first one has him walking in Mom's slippers. He is steady on his feet but still scares me on the stairs - he is not as stable on the stairs as he thinks he is. The second one has him playing with his Panda.
