Dear Mum,
i would like to publicly apologise for any accusations i had against you with regards to Ari's missing shirt!!
it has been sitting in Levi's cupboard for 8 months!!!!
Actually not sitting, he's been wearing it!
That's what happens when you let a maid do your washing for you!
All my love, Baila/Rivkele

MAZEL TOV!

Hello all!

As an unmarried member of the family, I often wonder when will I have something to post that I deem "blog-worthy". I have no children to laugh at and I'm not on some African adventure that the family are sitting at the edges of their seats waiting to hear every detail about from what time my child woke up to the newest word he's started to say, to how many times that day he made a poo and everything in between. But then, today a miracle happened and I thought it was appropriate to share it on the blog! I was enjoying my morning off when Chum does wake up and I was sleeping soundly in my bed when Chum comes in all huffy and puffy and proudly declares, "I FOUND YOUR KEYS!!!!!!" Yes, dear family, it is true! CHUM FOUND MY KEYS!!!! I assume you all know about my key debacle but now there is no debacle to hear about! For those who are wondering where in heaven's name they were, they were hiding in the glovebox of Chum's car! We will be having a lechaim in honour of this very exciting reunion... details to follow! =)

And now a word from our sponsors...

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!!!!!!

DL's thoughts on MM leaving

So, I asked DL if she misses MM, to which she replied, "Once upon a time Nakemenu went on a airplane and then he is going to come back". I think that what she means is that

I'm not sure if the emphasis is on the fact that MM has gone on an airplane (good riddance) or that he is coming back...

Chayale on the other hand was very relieved to hear that the Arensteins had arrived in SA.
