We love receiving boxes, especially big ones!!! One of KB's good friends from college got some of her friends together to send us the biggest box we have ever received. Unfortunately Toby also enjoyed one of the delicious gravy packets, resulting in the included bath photo.
We have been trying to be busy getting ready for the baby. We start school next week and so we want to get most everything done before that begins. It did not look like much would get done though since things either move really fast here or extremely slow. Well just last night, we got a call that a painter was available to paint the baby's room (It is like a putty paint that you smear onto the walls with a spatula, something that other foreigners have encouraged us to not consider doing on our own). Then also last night the carpenter came by to measure for new doors in the baby's room (Toby is able to open the sliding doors himself, so I have reason to believer our kid could do it too). Most amazingly, the factory that has been building the furniture we ordered in JANUARY called and said they wanted to deliver our furniture last night. Everything is happening all at once.
We still have a lot to do, and order, and make, and let other's make, but it is nice to see something happening in the future baby's room other than just a baby bed.
On a sad note, a couple of our foreign friends who have been here since before we arrived are leaving our city in the next couple of weeks. There will be no foreign ladies here at all after they leave, and they were really special to us.
