Good news first... John found out today that he passed the florida bar exam! We are so excited! He will probably get sworn in sometime next week.
Bad news second...my chinese ayi is going back to China on Monday! I am so disappointed! She is going back for a few months to help her son and his children. Oh well...I am back to square one. This week we are going to a chinese full moon party to celebrate her departure and maybe I can get connected with another chinese ayi. The great thing about Ni Ni is that she walked to and from our house everyday. That was such a nice part of the package. I did not have to ever drive her home, which is great bc one of the kids is always sleeping. The funny thing is that Garrett has started to say Da Da with the chinese tone that Ni Ni uses. He is also making a lot of chinese noises and words. It is really funny to see this really pale, blue eyed baby making chinese sounds. I think he is really going to miss her :)
