So I'm REALLY having a hard time concentrating at work...so I decided I better start figuring out WHAT Enyi is going to call us. So I referred back to the pictures we had sent to him in the orphanage and noticed that our "names" were translated on the front of the pictures. So here is some education for all of us.哥哥 gege (pronounced 'goh-goh') or older brother
母亲 mama or mother
父亲 baba or father
祖母 zumu or grandmother (or geese, bon bon, grandma, etc)
爷爷 yeye or grandfather (or pop, papa, grandpa)
姑妈 yima or aunt
叔叔 shushu or uncle
表妹 biaoge or cousin
狗 gou or dog
Like any language, there are some variation based on female/male side of the family, older/younger cousin, etc...but you get the idea.
Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to meet our little one...and that we can get everything we need in THREE suitcases!

I can't concentrate either and now I am taking the sinus medicine just to sleep more than 3 hours a night! See you in 6!
ReplyDeleteLess than a week to go before flying out! What an experience.
ReplyDeletePraying all goes well with your father, Kim.
Love you all, Mom
