I hope this works...

This is one step short of standing on my head, with one leg out the window and having to wrap myself in tinfoil to do this... So i hope it is worth it, and it works :)
We are all moved into our new house/villa. It has been a feat of sheer endurance, and patience to get here. We don't have the internet yet, and only a few tv channels. To show you how up to date american tv is here, we have miami vice reruns on during the day. Although I must say, i do like them. I grew up watching that show with my dad, so i'm enjoying them.
The furniture shipment arrived. I do want to put a hit out on the man who packed my things though. There were many tears shed over our stuff. Some of midgets special things were broke, and my champaigne glass from our wedding was broken. Hubby's was fine though. So for that, and a broken china plate, and my dinged nighstand, that man had better not cross my path....
We have frequented ikea, and gotten the kids rooms almost done. Monkey loves his low platform bed, and midget loves her big white one. As soon as i am not mortified, and it's presentable we will put pics up of their rooms. We had to go get appliances, and that was a feet in itself. Things have been mad crazy around here, and no internet makes it even more difficult.
We went and looked for cars a few times, and finally got one for hubby that i will drive for a month or so, and we will extend on our rental car. Then next month go and get mine... We bought a jeep liberty that has 4 wheel drive. Still has room for the kids, and can jump the curbs, as it's needed here sometimes :)
The kids are still loving life here, and keep saying they never want to leave. Monkey went to the palace for a orchestra concert thursday. Midget tried her ballet class, and we are going to try another school just to see. There was only one other girl, so as it's ballet, and social a few more would be nice. They are both doing music lessons at school. Monkey is doing the guitar and loving it, and she is doing the flute. It's a little hard for her, i wish she's done the piano. We'll see. She's signing up for a small football/which is soccer/ tournament. We will see how that goes....
They are both loving the pool though, and dad is teaching them swimming and diving. It's so good to get all their energy out!
So we are alive, internetless, and it stinks. They said 2 weeks, but we will see. Cross your fingers :)
I tried to upload pictures, but after it taking 20 minutes, that might have to wait until we have our own internet.... Sorry!
