After skyping with the grandparents (such a fantastic invention that has really made us feel we are closer than we actually are), we decide to take the boys for a walk to the bakery located just outside of our community--I am also intent on visiting Starbucks which is also right outside our community because I am exhausted this morning. The walk is just fantastic as it is in the high 40s today and sunny with fairly clear skies. The walk is not too far and Danny enjoys doing most of it himself (we brought his stroller just in case). The bakery which is called "The Delicious Bakery", is actually true to its name. They have mouth watering pastries--some we are familiar with and others that are a little different. Danny and I decide on donuts and Dustin gets a bread with bacon and cheese on it. We leave the bakery and head around the corner and across the street to the Starbucks (these shops are directly across the street from the entrance into our community). There are a lot of foreigners in the coffee shop and I quickly get my favorite. We decide to head to the park back in our community since the weather is so great. Along the way, Dustin stops at a flower shop (they have all their flowers in little buckets outside) and buys flowers for me. We are both so amazed at the reasonable price for the fresh flowers. I can already envision this as our Saturday morning ritual--this is going to spoil me for when we come back home.
The park is a lot of fun with the boys. We do not stay long because we have to get the flowers in water and it is close to lunch. After lunch, we put the boys down for their naps and Dustin and I work on cleaning up the house. The dust, as I mentioned previously, is crazy so we both work at attacking it. We also carry up an extra table from downstairs and I work on setting up the trains and train track we brought from home. Danny is going to be so excited to see it. The house, now clean, is starting to feel like it is coming together. We just have to get some pictures bought and up and some accessories and we will be all set.
This evening should be low key, and we then head to church tomorrow. I am looking forward to going at the later service time so we are able to put Josh in the nursery. I will then be able to enjoy the service past the singing portion.
