One month in the US

Well we have been home a month and we are adjusting well. Max is doing great!! He started school on Wednesday of this week went Thursday and then we had a day off Friday because of the windchill. I don't think he realized it was a bonus day off and not just how it was suppose to be. We were so worried about him going to school he always said he didn't want to go. We went into the school on Friday to meet his teacher and see his classroom. The school supplied a translator to be there on Friday and also his first day of school to explain things to him. She was wonderful and I don't think it would have went as well if she wasn't there. He did tell her that he was afraid that if we left we would never come back. She was able to convince him that everyone goes home every night and nobody stays. By the time we were ready to leave he did say he would come back.

Dave has been around the house quite a bit so him and Max have had some good bonding time. They have gone out in Daves wood shop and done a couple of small projects. They built a spaceship for Max's Buzz lightyear. The girls are also having a lot of fun with him. He loves to challenge them in the WII games. I hope to make Max a bears fan by making him watch the bears vs the packers on Sunday. He has a Hester jersey he will be wearing.
