Haha, broadband is up!!

Hurrah, hurrah, our broadband is up and running! After living on dial-up for a month, the speed boost is definitely appreciated. Anyhow, I thought I'd put up some recent photos of the kids for those of you who haven't already seen them recently.

Here's Timmy, who's now very adept at walking around the house showing off by walking around AND carrying a bag (yes, it looks huge but it's empty so it's not in the least heavy). He loves transporting things from one place to another and as a result we've found shoes, toys and all manner of stuff residing in places where they really shouldn't be..



And this is Matty in his new school celebrating his 4th birthday. He's quite settled in now and has a whole host of friends who are no doubt as keen about cars as he is! Interestingly enough, in his old school in London, whenever asked to name his friends he'd always name the girls but here in S'pore he always names the boys. Err.. S'porean girls not very appealing to him maybe?? =P

Anyhow, praise God that the kids seem to have adapted well to life back in S'pore. They don't seem to mind the heat at all and prefer the food as well. Our new helper, Mel has also settled in nicely and gets along with the kids, which is a huge load off our minds. It's also good to be back in our church, ARPC, and to catch up with old friends and our DG as well. All in all, a very smooth relocation I think..

I'll be going back to work in a week's time so that will be another big change. Will keep you posted (although not that regularly) on what's going on in our lives. Ta for now!

Home again, home again..

Yes, we're back! It's been a hectic 2 weeks since we arrived. Every day has been occupied by meeting up with various folks or sorting out some errand or other. The good news is, we're a lot more settled now than when we first came back. All our stuff has been shipped back safely and more or less put away, Matthew has settled in to a couple of days at school and seems to enjoy it, our new domestic helper has arrived and seems nice.. Not bad at all for just 2 weeks!

The bad news is, our broadband won't be set up till the end of the month so I can't post up any pictures until then. When there's time (and more bandwidth), I'll put up some pics of Matty at school celebrating his birthday. Oh, and Timmy has grown his first tooth and started walking too! So, more to come later....
