Then Monday was the first day of school! For the second year in a row, I got to be super excited about the first day of school because I am neither a teacher nor a student. Monday morning came and the alarm was way too early but Celia and I managed to get out of bed to be ready to greet the children. Oh man, did we have children! Currently, our enrollment is up to 210 students!!! They came all dressed up (well, what they call dressed-up) and many of them with parents in tow.
It was great to see all their smiling little faces again. It was especially wonderful to see Nicu's little face. Many of you may remember that Nicu underwent major surgery last summer to correct a birth defect on both of his legs. His recovery took longer than expected so he missed the last year of school. When I visited him in June, he proclaimed that he was not going to school because he didn't like it and couldn't get there. Yet, on Monday morning there he was! Nicu quickly found Robert (they use to live down the street from each other when they were little),they walked into school hand in hand and found two seats together. Robert informed me today that they were no longer sitting together because their teacher had asked them to separate. Evidently, second grade boys can be quite the talkers when they haven't seen each other in months. | ||

Adjusting to being back in Romania has been fairly easy. On Saturday, Celia and I were welcomed to Romania at the airport by dear friends holding giant signs, then brought home to a freshly cleaned apartment and spoiled with pizza and cake. Praise God for the blessing of friends that become family.
