Well I'm happy to say that we slept MUCH better last night. Allie slept all the way through. Rob was up for about 2 hours. I was up for 1 hour. And Jake slept all the way through minus one feeding.. I think one more day and we will be good to go. Yesterday was a day FULL of military hoopla. We were at the base from 10am to 4pm.. Let me say the base here in Belgium is different than ANY other military base. Since its a NATO base we have to get all sorts of new I.D's, passes, etc. So we spent a lot of time in lots of lines and in a lot of different offices. Can I say my little lady was a rockstar?? She didn't complain all day and just hiked around the base with us.. Praise the Lord for these little princess dolls that she earned from her sticker charts.. cause she would just sit on the chair and play with those all day. We came back to the hotel after getting all our passes and walked down to the BX and commissary (grocery store on base).. which Allie was MORE than happy to find an indoor play place there! To Bed we went....
Today we started our house hunt journey.... We got put into the house system and started looking at LOTS of photos. The problem here is that no one is in one area and the towns are all spread out... So we have a lot of options.. So heres the plan for the next month probably. Get up at 7:30... make our way 20 minutes down to SHAPE, which is the NATO base where we do our housing, and check out the housing list since right now we are living at a hotel on the base Rob will be flying out of its and Air force and Army base, about 20 min north of the NATO base. Almost every day there is a new house available on their housing wall and its like Christmas at Walmart... everyone is racing for the best house. We then make an appointment to see a home and then decide whether or not we even want to get put on a list for the home and THEN we wait to see if we get it. So need less to say its a bit of a process especially with two small kids you have to lug around with you. So this next month may not be the funnest month for her or Jake but thankfully there is a fun playground to end each day on...
Tonight we had a church come in a make us a great dinner at our hotel. It was fun to chat with everyone and meet some new people. And now we have a church to visit this Sunday. Yahoo!
My camera battery charger is not with me and I have to order a new one so it may be awhile for photos... I'll have to close with this one from 4th or July because it makes me smile :)
and this one cause I couldn't resist! Allie experiencing a chocolate fountain for the first time at my Aunt Cris and Uncle Bob's.
