Other than missing family, friends and Max terribly, things are going really really well. Dylan was a super angel on both plane rides. He slept a fair amount (with us holding him of course) and I was over prepared for things for him to do - thats a good thing, except for hauling it around. Our first night was spent in a hotel and that was amazing - super duper deluxe. Dylan and the rest of us had a difficult time sleeping. But we all survived. Dylan is not eating much which has us a bit concerned - we are offering him Cherrios, yogurt, waffles, lasgna - All things he likes but he doesn't eat when he is tired, hopefully we can get him on a schedule. The first thing we did this morning was take Dylan to the playground. He had a good time with the 10 different slides but we all got so uncomfortably hot that we decided to "ease" into the heat and to come back another day.
We got into our apartment a few hours ago and WOW, we absolutely LOVE it. It is beautiful and has all the ammenitites. Dylan got a big kick out of the controls on the toilet - hmm, we might use that as a potty training tool! We don't have much furniture at the moment - only a pack and play, our bed that the company leased for us, a tv, four outdoor chairs, and some empty bookshelves. Our shipment won't arrive for two or three more weeks. We live in this luxury building but we are sitting on the floor! We have already gone to the international food market - a super easy walk (except coming home, you have to walk up a giant hill with all the groceries. My calves were burning big time!)
Dylan is taking a nap, Greg is out to the store again buying toilet paper and peanut butter. Well, that is the update for the first 22hours we have spent in our new home. We miss you all. It was more difficult leaving than we had imagined!
I'm glad you made it there safely. We've been thinking of you! I hope that Dylan adjusts soon to the time change, and of course that the two of you also adjust:) We miss you already!

So glad to hear that you arrived safely and that Dylan did well . . . two answered prayers!
I'm sure you'll all be on a regular routine before you know it!
Looking forward to seeing pics of your new digs!
