Settled in

We returned from Germany last Sunday and we are officially settled in. I put all our clothes away, stored the suitcases downstairs, washed dirty clothes, Daniel is back to working 65+ hours per week and we all tackled jet lag successfully. And the most important marker that we are home is that Chili is back to terrorizing us. It's amazing how easy it was to adapt - one day we are in Anja's apartment and the next we are drinking coffee in our kitchen and cleaning cat shit off the carpet. Truly amazing.
Rocco is still saying "agua" for everything. He laughs when I give him his water bottle each time he says it......we are both finding joy in our ability to understand each other. Two days ago he began saying "casa" and while we were in Germany he began saying "Danke" and "shoe." He actually speaks a lot, or babbles a lot. We don't fully understand what he is saying but he goes on and on and on like an evangelical preacher speaking in tongues. God only knows what he is saying but we are sure it is divine.
I will post photos of our trip soon.
