Hi!!! Ok so BH have now worked out how to post to the blog, so here goes!
So we have arrived in SA :( Very weird to be here, doesnt feel like we've moved, but doesnt feel like holidays either.
Went to see our apartment today which is quite decent. Apparently 90% is Jewish and over 50% shomer shabbos, and just to make us feel right at home apparently the body corporate is very nit-picky :) and yes Mummy there is a guard outside the complex 24/7 if that makes you feel better.
My MIL has stocked us up on the basics which should make moving in happen much faster and easier. (seriously she is the biggest shopper i have ever seen in my life, you should see the amount of clothes she's bought for MM, i dont think i'll ever be allowed to buy a piece of clothing for him to wear...)
anyhows iyh tomoro we are going to have a look at furniture mainly focusing on beds (speaking of which mum, sorele and leah, guess who i got an email from about the beds today asking if i'd sold them yet, i feel like writing back, "yes, to someone who offered me a menchlich price...")
they've left a table and a few chairs in the apartment for us, so once we have beds we could technically move in and then let everything else happen as we find them. kindve dont want to unpack here just to repack and unpack again. i've done enough packing in the last few weeks to last me until we pack up to move back.....
BH MM is doing alright he loved the photobook, and we have to find a way of making it user friendly. He keeps asking for all of you, especially Bobby, mimi and nenel (but that could really be nunu's so ;-)
He has adjusted really well to Levi and Tzipporah and loves playing with them, and also loves playing with our to be maid "Tembi" who was very good with him.
unfortunatley i think he has an upset stomach, firstly he refused ice cream so that should have rung a bell and he threw up twice tonight, not huge amounts but the contents of his stomach, mostly me, so i love feeling wasted...
MM and i had a big shluf from like 11 - 2 today, i didnt get much sleep on the plane so i was quite wiped but i'm hoping that we dont get jetlagged, i think that with breaking up the trip and stopping off in singapore it should help with that bc we do 2 small time adjustments separately so yeah hoping for good night of sleep.
Got lots to write about Singapore but i'm hoping to do that and add some pictures as well at the same time so either later tonight or iyh tomoro morning so you'll have what to check after shabbos!
Missing you all terribly!!!!
Lots of Love!!!!!!
Glad to hear that your son will not be going naked. It sounds like there is a bit of a commonality with your MIL and someone else we know (BR for those of you who couldn't work it out). Do you have a phone number that we can call you on? Also, could you take/post photos of the photobook for those of us who didn't see it?
ReplyDeleteMissing you... I can't really bring myself to delete your numbers from my phone/mobile - it is too depressing...
