ah-soh in the kitchen. never thought i would ever spend sooo much time in here.

boys chilling out on the new couch with hidden bed inside

can you believe my dear J was so strong to carry this sofa with the help of a frail stroller frame & his own brute strength. he said must be the angels in heaven helping =)

imagine the number of shoes we bought while we were here. there are some more in boxes. no space on the shelves. J simply loves shoes...
3 quarters of this huge wardrobe are the boys' clothes. including those in boxes below. retail therapy gone wrong... blame MN, there isn't much to do here =)

this is what has been keeping me from the blog. busy packing & trying to sell some stuff before the move. now when i think about moving home to SGP, i worry how many boxes we would need & how much stuff we should sell or give away first. =)

our new place is a student co-op. so far it has been lovely. the boys enjoy playing in the playground just outside our apartment after dinner til dusk. 9 pm! *sweet* no worries about safety here. J can do his summer class assignments while i take the boys out on my own.

life here is like a little community. very eventful. we've only been here a week & we've gone for pizza party, puppet show, ice cream party & water slide. later in the week are movies & watching euro cup together. next week has strawberry picking *they are chatering a bus* & SB jam making. yum!

the only minus is we take turns to do cleaning. this week was our turn to clean our corridor. 6 families rotate. vacumn, sweep, mop, clean windows, doors, carpets & corridors for the wk. every 32 wks or so, it's our turn to clean the laundry room of the building.

this is only a little of what we give, in return for all the great stuff we receive. for the last few days, Jr has been saying thank you, Jesus for our new house. =) we have certainly been blessed.
