I am currently serving time at the immigration office trying to secure one of the kids’ visas. To pass the substantial time I expect to wait, I thought I’d update you a little!

So much to do this week! Introducing our kids to the mechanics of a new culture,  and taking care of necessities have blurred our past few days.  We took the young folk shopping at IKEA for new furniture and discovered that a $1.00 hot dog can actually taste good. Even better were the 4/$1.00 donuts, but I digress.

Life happens in a serviced apartment while we wait for our house to be furnished. Hopefully this weekend we can begin the move-in process which will take about a month. Our furnishings from the US will not arrive until late August. We hope IKEA can save us some time by providing a few beds and couches well ahead of our shipment schedule. Here are a couple of new house pics:

 

Since we have to wait on many things, we are filling time seeing all that Singapore has to offer. Not a bad way to pass time! Here is a list of a few of our exploits:

1. Fort Canning
2. Gardens by the Bay
3. Merlion park
4. Overeasy Burgers
5. Orchard street

And because I love pictures, here are some I wanted to share with you; I hope you enjoy them!

The next picture is of the young people chilling at one of the garden entrances.  They were so happy to not be queuing up somewhere for a change!

I might have overdone all the visuals in this post, but you should see all I left out!

We greatly miss all our loved ones!
