Hi there,
A few days after our previous post we were on our way to Hungary. Chris, the kids, and I started our 26 hour journey on March 17 and arrived to Hungary on March 18th. Amy and Haley did great throughout the day, as a matter of fact Amy said "this was so much fun" as we were waiting for our luggage at the airport in Hungary (about 25 and a half hours into our trip). Yup, we have a different understanding of what "fun" means. |

We had a busy month meeting with a lot of friends and family members. Other than my parents, no one has seen Haley before, and the last time they've seen Amy was when she was 15 months old.
Amy learned to speak in Hungarian pretty well within the first week or so and her Hungarian just got better and better every day, We were so proud of her! (Since we talk to her in Hungarian, she understands nearly everything, but she refused to talk to us in Hungarian before, so her speech was far from perfect. Now that she needed to verbalize her wants and needs to her "Hungarian family," she quickly learned to do so.)
We were so happy to see our dear friends and family after these years! We bought a monthly (transportation) pass, so we could go anywhere in Budapest without having to worry about tickets. We were on buses, trains, trams, trolleys, subways, and Amy loved them all. I don't think she remembers any of these, although we used public transportation when we lived in Hungary and she was little. Anyway, she loved the experience! :) |

One of my favorite memories of this month is that I finally got to meet my dear friends' kids for the first time. One of them is 2 and a half years old, the other one is 1 and a half, and the youngest one was born this year. I was so sad I never had the chance before to see them in person and finally I could hug them and play with them and see them "for real." They are all so precious!
