Kim and Jeremy in Thailand

The last two days, we went to the Cubs games. It was actually kind of fun to ride the bus down to Wrigley Field. It took over an hour each way, so there was lots of time to look at houses and stores and traffic. People actually walk on the sidewalks here! Of course, it helps that the sidewalks are flat, not filled with random utility poles, and don't have motorcycles driving down them.

I could understand other people's conversations on the bus! I'm still surprised at how tall everyone is. Emily said she felt like a hobbit when she came back from China-I feel the same way! I got used to thinking of myself as a fairly tall and large person. Not anymore!

We've seen a few Thai restaurants around here, but most of them aren't just Thai. They're some weird combo, like Japanese-Chinese-Thai. I guess to people who've never been there, that sounds exciting, but I couldn't help thinking about how different those three countries' food are.

I think the baby is still getting over jet lag. In Thailand, he would have long spurts of activity, like an hour or two at a time, and at predictable times of the day, like 4-6am. But here, he'll be awake for 15 minutes, then go back to sleep. Then a short time later, he'll wake up again for another 15-20 minutes. Jeremy said he's experiencing the same thing, so he must be taking after his dad!! I get tired early, but I've been doing fine with sleeping at the right hours of the day for approximately the right amount of time. So much easier than the last time I came back from Asia!

Today we'll be looking at some apartments in Aurora to see if anything is worth coming back to with Jeremy. And I get to meet up with my friend Laura in Wheaton!! It should be an exciting day!
