No house and Thunderbugs?!?!

So we didn't get the great house we found... Just found out today that it went to someone else... So we continue to search. :( Rob went to the housing office today and called to say that there were no new homes up... This search is getting scarce. We found a cute house last night, but it was one that wont be available till September 1st at the earliest and we have to wait to see if its even approved. I'm starting to see that our stay here at the hotel may be a bit longer. PLEASE pray that a house shows up soon.

They had a playgroup at the playground today so of course we went. Allie was excited to have some kids to play with. I was sitting there chatting with the ladies when they started discussing the thunderbugs. Understandably so I ask "What are those?" The ladies look over and say they are the little tiny bugs everywhere. "Where?" I look down at my arm and I notice these TINY specks of black that look like dirt. "THOSE??" I ask. Yup, those are them. Allie runs over from the playground to get water and I look at her head and that beautiful blonde hair she now has is covered in black specks! Seriously GROSS. I assume they don't bite cause they are just hanging out on our skin and clothes.. but NOPE they bite! Yuck! The ladies inform me they are bad for about a month. So thankfully I am in an air conditioned hotel room where the windows are closed. They are soooo obnoxious and quite disgusting. Something new I learned in Belgium. Lovely. *note: I haven't informed you all that no homes or places here have air conditioning so I am extremely thankful that the weather here is not as hot as it is back in the states!!*
